Klipsch Speakers


I have a pair of Klipsch Forte IVs, they are bright will a tube amp really help?

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.

You probably didn’t take a picture of what you did?

This what customer service said..

 

dweller Thanks for the info I definetly will make the change and report back after I do some listening. Installing the iso GaiaIi made a good amount of difference.
