Hi Folks, I’m new here and looking to get my first Klipsch RP line subwoofer(s). A little research says the rp-1400SW and rp-1600SW go on sale during the major holidays. Are we expecting the same $699 and $999 Adorama deals this memorial day, through slickdeals?
Looking for a pair of mint condition FORTE I or FORTE II in California. Must be oiled oak.
I was giving a Reddit friend a hand looking for some speakers and ran across some clean RF3 IIs in black about ~25 miles NW of Baltimore on Craigslist. They seemed like a good value at only a little over $2/pound :-)
Maybe they are worthy of a crossover upgrade. Good luck to anyone nearby who might be interested.
Found a deal for a pair of RP-280F for $400 in mint condition, still worth buying in 2026? Recently bought RP-404C center and RSL 10E sub, trying to upgrade my ancient Jamo front speakers. Or should I save up for the RP-8000F II?
I’m not getting any sound out of the high and isolated the issue to the crossover. What I can’t find are any replacement parts. How does one get this fixed? Do I need to take this to a repair shop?
Those of you who have the RP-500SP 1 or 2’s, what are you using to hang them on the wall?
Probably giving it too much juice but still thought I’d ask since I’ve heard a lot about the amps going bad.
Upgrading from Sonos 1’s to some 9’s. Just finished hooking everything up. What an upgrade! I have some 16 inch stands coming soon as well.
I experimented running the WiiM out into the Sonos Connect and from the connect to the Nines in an attempt to incorporate the Sonos but everything came out much too quiet.
I’m looking to connect 4 speakers to a Sonos amp. I am looking to spread the speakers evenly so I don’t have to turn the volume up too loud and that way I get even volume across the entire patio. Two on the left side of my patio two on the right side. I have pvc conduit, run to the four locations and intend to use direct burial speaker cable inside the conduit. The Sonos amp is in a watertight, but vented box directly below my two gang Power outlet, which is also in its own watertight but vented box. I’m either going to mount them on their own posts, dedicated to the speakers or mount them to the existing white vinyl posts in my fence. I am using the Sonos amp because I want AirPlay. Every other speaker in my house has AirPlay capability either natively or via an Apple TV.
Does anyone have any experience with these speakers and do you think they can withstand 24 seven exposure in North New Jersey?
If I’m missing information, please let me know and I’ll try and add it.
I own the sevens II and the Nines II I just bought them together to decide between the two.. Very hard decision between the two. I love the sevens because there easy to listen to.. Love the nines because they are so powerful. I have tried subs with both of them and that's another question mark. I purchase the full direct live for the sevens but not the nines. It makes a huge difference I just don't want to spend another $100 on the nines if I'm not going to keep them.
Currently running a denon 6800 powering the following
2-rp8000
2-rp600 as front heights
Rp504c
2-rp502s as rear surrounds
2-rp500sa as side surrounds
2- pro160rpc in ceiling speakers
And also 2 rp 1600.
Looking into a getting a power amp for fronts and center to take load off the amp. Marantz mm7055?
What else is recommmened or maybe I don’t even need? Looking for some advice.
Not much space, so the nine’s are up against the wall but they sound great with my r100sw tucked away in the corner!
EDIT: I meant woofers. Sorry.
I have a pair of ‘85 La Scala Pros that have always sounded fine to me since I bought them a couple of years ago. This week a listened to a newer pair and the low end was astoundingly better. It is clear that I probably need to inspect and replace the subs woofers in my cabinets. I’m assuming that Crites is the place to go, but I’m wondering if there are any other recommendations? I sub from Crites more than I paid for the La Scalas!
I have a klipsch 700 cinema setup connected to Samsung 85inch via hdmi eARC for Dolby atmos. Since this tv only has 2 hdmi ports, I have the second hdmi connected to a splitter in order to connect two game consoles. The issue is when I turn the tv off, the klipsch turns off as expected. Great! However, the klipsch refuses to turn back on with the tv. Even using the klipsch remote or the actual power button on the bar, it is still unresponsive. I have to constantly unplug the power to klipsch and plug back in for it to turn on. Something with the handshake for eARC is causing the klipsch to brick. I have done all the trouble shooting, updated firmware, messed with all the tv audio settings, replaced my surge protector, messed with audio settings in Xbox and ps5. One thing that is curious is sometimes when I switch between ps5 and xbox, the klipsch will turn back on with tv. It is like when settings are adjusted the speakers and tv work for eARC but this is only temporary.
My main question is could the splitter be the issue? I do not have a fancy splitter, just high speed rated for 4K with 8k 2.1 hdmi cables. I have looked at splitters with eARC support but they seem to only be for connecting two TVs with eARC to one speaker system. Doesn’t seem appropriate for my setup for one tv and two gaming systems. Help! Klipsch support was useless…..
Finally got my space to a good place. Love these speakers paired with my SVS 1000pro.
MX 100, MC7205, Heresy 4, 65” LG, JBL center and surrounds.
I bought klipsch r 50 m accidentally. I should have purchased klipsch r 50 pm instead. I’m super novice to this and missed that minor but super important detail. Now I don’t know what amplifier to get or if I should return and get the all-inclusive speakers. Would I only need an amplifier? What else might I be overlooking? I feel like I’m headed down an audiophile rabbit hole and my goal is really to fill my studio apartment with calming white/brown noise. All suggestions and/ or insight is welcome 😭 The M’s were just delivered today about an hour ago fyi this is how discovered my mistake.
my Klipschorn consecutive serial numbers ( I imagine that’s not rare but it is nice) and they have custom crossovers from ALK Engineering built specifically for my Klipschorns by Al Klappenberger himself, now retired, and he matched the crossovers specific to my pair of speakers. So thanks for noticing as they are amazing to listen to. I am lucky to have acquired them as the second owner.
my signal chain:
MM AN IQ3 cart paired with a Rega P6 connected to the phono stage of the Airtight ATC-1 driving a 8W PER CH ATM-300 with authentic western electric 300B tubes. I made my own cables as I needed one to by 25 feet for the room
Tonight’s listening
THE METERS - a jazz funk band
then listened to all 3 albums from Automatic
Closing the night with Depeche Mode Some Great Reward - which has aged really well.
I think what I love most about these speakers the most is if you’re not in the critical point they are very forgiving the way they fill the room with sound. I’m just there’s a presence of in the room, not directional so the left and right channels kind of blend together if you’re not at crossover point of them so if you’re at the crossover, you get a real great stereo sound but when you’re out of the crossover, the sound doesn’t get bad because it actually mixes altogether so you kinda hear that left right separation disappears such that it makes it easier to listen to them, so if you’re in a different part of the room sitting it’s not annoying. you’re not constantly reminded that you’re not sitting at the optimal spot. They’re very forgiving in that way.
And I think I got the right analog chain that drives them beautifully
Cheers
I have a pair of klipsch kg 4.2s and the 10” rubber surround of the passive radiator is torn, I could get a 34 dollar kit but I bet there’s a way to fix them cheaper, especially because it’s just a passive radiator. Could anybody help me figure something out?
