    Klipsch H700 Heresy Replacement Woofer

    Hi all! I bought some Klipsch H700 Heresys that, according to the serial numbers, were made in 1970. Unfortunately, I discovered upon opening them up that they do not seem to have the original woofers. Instead, they have these woofers (pictures attached) with illegible serial numbers and...

    Comparing Cornwall to Crites "Cornscala"

    After using a tube amp again for the first time in over 30 years I started considering Klipsch Heritage speakers. I listened at the nearest dealer 2 hours away in the worst display conditions. My budget allowed for Heresy IV but after hearing Cornwalls I knew I couldn't settle for less. Well no...

    Rounding the korner...

    Recently while on a break at work I was outside smoking and one of my coworkers started up a conversation. I mentioned the small batch of records I scored for a buck a piece over the weekend, then my coworker mentioned downsizing and selling his cd collection. I told him I would be happy to...

    Crites tweeter diaphragm to Heresy's ll

    I have done this to my kg4's, and absolutely loved it. My question is, is it just as good when done to the heresy's? I'd love to hear your feedback, good or bad. If you are going to comment about it be a no no to take away from a stock speaker, I can do without those comments. Thanks Audiokarma...

    KG 4.2 questions- stands + Crites upgrade?

    OK, I just got some KG 4.2 speakers. And I'm both in love and disappointed. Hoping you all can help me... The context: Picked up some KG 4.2s from an original owner for $150 (yay!) who had them professionally repaired at a local shop about 15 year ago (that's approximate since he didn't seem...

    Help Me Bring My Forte I Speakers to Life!

    Greetings Klipsch fans! I am a long time AK member, but this is my first time posting in the Klipsch Korner sub-forum. Two days ago, I picked up a pair of Forte I speakers. I got a good deal on them as one woofer and both tweeters appeared dead. Sorting the woofer was easy. One of the leads...

    Stairway to (Audio) Heaven

    So I just recently graduated college and I've been scraping by on whatever bargains and deals I can find for my audio equipment, but now I have a real job and I'm looking to start taking things to the next level.

    Electro Voice Speaker Project

    A few years ago I purchased a set of EV Lancaster speakers that had obviously been hand built. They were loaded with the Wolverine series low cost drivers, LS12 woofer, MR10 mid horn and TW35 tweeter. The crossovers needed attention so I decided to install a pair of Crites X8 / X36 crossovers...

    Detailed as La Scalas but warmer??

    Is there a speaker that has detail close to the La Scala but is a warmer speaker? I have a smaller listening room ( 12 X 12 ) and the La Scalas sound fantastic as far as detail goes. I love them for that! There are even some songs that get played and I think these are the best speakers in the...

    anyone been disappointed with their Crites upgrades?

    I've heard tons of people who rave about how Bob Crites' titanium upgrades have taken their Klipsch gear to new levels. I've never heard upgraded gear. But I've also heard one guy (a guy I personally know and trust) say that he witnessed an upgrade take place live and everyone quietly...

    Klipsch KG-4s with Sansui AU-7500

    Hello all, this is my first post. I've been a lurker for years and decided to make an account as I’ve been making some advances in my setup lately. I scored a Sansui AU-7500 recently, which I love the sound of. I’ve been using it with some less than ideal Ohm Model E speakers, which just sound...

    New woofers for 1977 Cornwalls?

    I have the itch to upgrade. My '77 Cornwalls still have their original woofers (K-33-Es, I guess). Tweeters and crossovers were both replaced with Crites parts about twelve years ago. Would I benefit from a fresh pair of Crites CW1526C woofers? And heck, may as well refresh the wiring while...
