Klipsch Speakers

I have La Scalas powered by a McIntosh tube preamp and amp setup. No brightness at all to my ears. 

The system is simple which maybe was a bad idea, the Naim Uniti Atom a two streamer,dac and 40 watts hooked to the forte IVs. 

THE room is 12ft wide and I sit about 13 ft from everything, carpet with lots of my wife’s quilts on the walls…

I try to listen to everything except jass and country…

I have found that horns made from plastic or metal can ring enough that some people hear them as bright or brash. Any brand of horn mid or tweeter can have this ringing.  I put damping material like Dynamat on the backs of these horns with great results. No other changes made and the bright bite is gone. 

Yes that sounds like the thing to do but countless posts on this thread have people not having this problem rite out of the box…

@fmer - I fashioned them from copper pipe. Later, I learned about some copper anode strips (on Amazon) which would be MUCH easier to work with.

You need some tin snips (or a break press) to make the actual strips then drill a 9/64 hole and slide it over the binding post screw. you can use the existing stainless steel strip as a model.

Another alternative is to find a copper "ring" terminal with a small enough hole and solder this directly on to the wire which goes to the crossover (eliminating the need for the strip). I couldn’t find a terminal with anything smaller than 1/4 hole.

Note: Using the ring terminal probably voids the warranty. I saved all the strips so I can replace if new owner wants them. Also, the (stock) Fortes sound good at low volume but were melting my ears when cranked up.
