Klipsch speakers sound better than ever

Hi,

I just finished upgrading my Klipsch Chorus II crossovers with all new capacitors and resistors and results were amazing. It wasn't very hard to solder off the parts and then solder on the new, higher quality parts. Easily, the most positive sonic upgrade. More than any IC, speaker cable or power conditioner has made without a doubt.

The best part of this is that, in terms of cost, it was much cheaper than upgrading any of my components, IC's, PC's or power conditioners.

I really like my Klipsch speakers, very easy to drive, dynamic and detailed. The one problem that people have with Klipsch speakers are that they tend to be bright. After I swapped the crossover parts, the brightness dissappeared and now they sound very neutral. Yet, they are even more dynamic and detailed. Fatigue city has left town. The new sound is heavenly.

I'm now in the process of upgrading my KLF-C7 crossover network as my next project. I'm going to upgrade all the capacitors and resistors.

My KLF-20's are already upgraded with all new, higher quality capacitors and resistors.

Thanks,
Mike

Visit the Klipsch Forum there is alot of information on this site, look under Updates and Modifications. Also, there are a few guys who do this proffessionaly. If you need any tips or advice they are very helpful. I did my Khorns, La Scalas, Belles, and Cornwalls about 15 years ago. I also built My Edgarhorn crossovers and adjusted crossover frequency to benifit my room and to my liking. I experimented with different brands of caps and liked the siderealkaps the best. I took it a step further and installed ribbon inductors. To desribe the difference the inductors made is, they made the sound larger. When you heard a trumpet blow it had more air around it and made it as large as a live performance, as it did to all the instruments and vocals.
