Suggestions for a conditioner/surge protector? Nsgarch,I wanted to try the ExactPower-15A like you have but my one opportunity to get it for a good price slipped by me. When the custom tweaked Audio Magic came up for sale, I had to try it, as that was the other brand that I was considering.I t... | |
Suggestions for a conditioner/surge protector? Nsgarch,Based on my experience with my system, I don't entirely agree with you. You say "If you COULD do dedicated circuits and your power company provided relatively stable power, you wouldn't need a power conditioner."I have two dedicated 20amp ... | |
What can I expect from Klipsch RF-7 w/small tube? I run my Klipsch Chorus II's and KLF-20's (series right before the Reference Line) with my little 14 watts/ch Eico HF-81. Klipsch speakers match up very well with tubes and because they are very efficient, they don't need a lot of power. The 14 wa... | |
HT Receiver or High end integrated for music?? Flrnlamb,My speakers are all Klipsch. I just finished a pair of Monitor Audio S6 crossover networks a few weeks ago. If you'd like, I can send you pictures of what their stock crossover looks like and you will see that there is not a single qualit... | |
HT Receiver or High end integrated for music?? I have upgraded every speaker crossover network because almost all speaker crossover networks are made with the cheapest components. This impacts both the speakers performance/sound and the overall system performance/sound.NO QUESTION, what it cos... | |
Upgrading from Monitor Audio Silver 5i's? Chris,My suggestion would be to upgrade your existing/stock speaker crossover networks with some good parts. Your speaker crossover network are preventing you from hearing just how good your speakers really are. It would cost you around $200-300 t... | |
Klipsch KLF-20 vs. RF-7 speakers Banders,I've upgraded 4 pairs of Klipsch speaker xover networks and not once did I ever run into what you've described. Whoever upgraded your RF-7 xover networks probably messed them up. Out of the almost 50-75 people that I talk to on the Klipsch... | |
Tweaks and upgrades that aren't gimmicks 1. Upgrading speaker crossover network parts. The absolute best upgrade/tweak I've ever heard.2. Multiple independant & dedicated circuits.3. AC power/line conditioning. | |
Upgrading crossover? I have upgraded the caps, resistors and air core inductors on all three pairs of my Klipsch speakers and can tell you for a fact that I HEARD a tremendous difference in sound. I replaced the stock caps with Kimber Kaps, stock resistors with Mills ... | |
powercord for Krell Kav300i I used an Electraglide Fatboy with my KAV-300i. I thought that they were a good match. I love the Fatboy on just about any amp, it makes the details, dynamics and bass that much better.I have since sold the KAV-300i and currently have the Fatboy f... | |
Xover parts quality,/sound difference? Sean,Spoken like a true veteran! The things you've mentioned like horn dampening, sealing the cabinets, stuffing material, etc. are things I need to do. I was so impressed with the results of just upgrading the parts that I stopped with the speake... | |

Will adding an amp make a noticable difference? Spanydog6011,Not knowing what your budget is, you might try the following:1. Add a multi-channel amp that at least has three channels (for the front three)2. Mod your source with some basic upgrades (caps, dampening, diodes, power supply tweak, et... | |
Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Glassaud,Excellent combination between the 30's and SET's! I use a completely restored EICO hf-81 integrated tube amp with my 20's and Chorus II's.I upgraded the crossover networks in both pairs of spekaers and the difference is incredible. I do a... | |
Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Allsmiles,I upgraded the crossover networks myself. I was a crypto tech in the Air Force for 10 years and in electronics school, had to learn how to troubleshoot down to the component level. The crossover networks are fairly simple, they just are ... |
