I can't believe I just discovered your channel. I've been searching for speaker renovations and your channel never came up. Anyway really nice upgrade!
Great improvement. I could hear the difference on my tv speakers which are quite simple Argos Fenris 4 active speakers 👍 Love your channel by the way ❤
I had these speakers several years ago. I installed Bob Cortes crossovers and titanium speakers. I have moved on to bigger and better horn loaded speakers but for my ears, Klipsch + a tube amp is how music was intended to be listened to.
Personally, I don't like the Heresy, too bright and thin but a lot of people love them. The crites upgrades might help. I'd go bigger with a set of KG4s, Forte's, or something else if you've got the space and budget for it. Unless you've found a killer deal on some Heresys...might be worth picking them up to decide if you like them. @@gdwlaw5549
@@gdwlaw5549 depends on your budget. If you want heritage speakers then probably the best bang for your buck is the Forte’s and then the Cornwalls but they’re a couple thousand more new. If you like good bass, I wouldn’t get the Hereseys unless you plan on running a powered sub with them. They sound fantastic but their bass response leaves a little to be desired. But I’ll say this, if you can find a pair of KG4’s, spend the money on Crites tweeters and crossovers. KG4’s are seriously good sounding speakers with those upgrades. Really talking heritage sound on a budget.
I have the first generation KG4. i rebuilt the crossovers and replaced the tweeters on the horn with the bob crites titanium tweeters. i lined the inside of the cabinet with a dynamat type product. They sound great but i a going to sell them, i got a pair Forte's that rock.
Nice! I’ve heard good things of the KG4 and it sounds like you gave them the royal treatment! I just sold the 4.2’s because they weren’t my cup of tea as well. The guy who bought them is in love with them!
Is this basically the same for KG 5.2? I have a speaker that the high end is just dead. I bought replacement drivers with hopes this is it, however I would appreciate a parts list to replace all the components on the board.
Thanks for watching! The crossover is different. You can just pull the board and look at the components on it. Easiest way to get a parts list together. You should only really need to replace the electrolytic cap and the tweeter protection components since the other caps don't tend to age poorly.
@@Shuksanaudio Well thanks, but im not posting just to flex lol. I just wanted you to know that the difference is apparent and considerable. Great job!! :P
Change the electrolytic caps, priority one. Everything else may still be good. Toss all the electrolytics but keep the rest. You may want to put some of those old parts back later… I’d upgrade the inductors to larger gauge copper as well, if you have a few extra $$ that is…
Great tips! If you want better sound on a budget, the polyswitch and 33uF electrolytic cap are going to give the biggest reward. I always save all the parts just in case. These speakers had seriously rolled off highs and the 33uF is only for the woofer which is why I also replaced the other two caps and resistors. Have you noticed much change in sound by swapping out old inductors for better ones? Thanks so much for watching!
@@Shuksanaudio to be 100% honest, I have not noticed anything upgrading the inductors. It’s just a habit I’ve gotten into when restoring any x/o. Be sure the change out those electrolytics though, that’s where you’ll hear something if no where else.
Gotcha! I was curious because I've done inductors on a couple of crossovers but at the same time as all other components. Might have to A/B test some time. My theory is they won't make much difference on mid to low end speakers. They also usually cost as much as the rest of the components combined so I just don't change them. If it were a multi thousand dollar set of speakers, I would definitely do them though. Just want to make sure you don't change the DCR or impedance too much or it could affect the crossover negatively.
Totally! They definitely sound less muddy. I think the high frequencies being more present helps the bass sound more precise as well! The song is called "Dark Outlands" by River Foxcroft Thanks for watching!
Great question! It’s called a passive radiator and helps with lower bass extension. It acts in a similar way to porting a cabinet and tuning the port to a certain frequency to help smooth out the bass response. Thanks for watching :)
클립쉬가 판매되지 않는 이유 중에 하나는 저 못생긴 혼트위터 부착방법이다. 어떻게 저렇게 보기 싫게 다나? 혼 부착방법을 안 쪽으로 넣어야 한다. 그리고 보기에는 원형으로 하는 게 좋다. 우퍼, 미드는 원형인데, 트윗만 사각? 어딘지 불균형 스럽다는 생각을 떨칠 수 없다..... 거부감이 생긴다.
안쪽에 뿔이 붙어있어서 훨씬 깔끔해요. 이 스피커는 확실히 혼이 둥근 것만큼 매력적이지는 않습니다. 그들은 전관 방송 시스템이나 전문 시스템의 스피커처럼 보입니다. 하지만 가격이 비싸지는 않았기 때문에 더 저렴한 건설이 합리적입니다. (It is much cleaner to have the horn attached inside. These speakers are definitely not as attractive as if the horn was round. They look like speakers from a public address system or professional system. They were not expensive though so it makes sense the cheaper construction. )
