    Anybody done the research on AR/KLH "Hot Cross Bun" treatment?

    I'm curious about the why and how of the "hash tag" or "hot cross bun" application of stiff glue or something on some AR and KLH woofers. I own a pair of KLH Model 30s that have this treatment from the factory. I've also seen it in web pics on some others: KLH Model 30 KLH Model 32 AR4...

    What is the difference in the drivers for KLH Model 20 and Model 20PLUS speakers?

    Looking at archived pics of the Model 20PLUS speakers I see that they have a different woofer basket in that the outer flange has been cut away on two sides to fit the smaller width of the cabinet. I see that same woofer on page 3 of the #59 Service Bulletin listed as "20+w" but there is no...

    KLH Model 6 Recap

    I just bought a pair of Model Six speakers at an estate sale. They are the version with removable woofers and nailed in terminal plates on the back. The woofer I removed has an October, 1967 date stamp. One of them has been dropped on the back. It has a little damage to the back panel, but...

    KLH Service Bulletins

    Anybody have more of the KLH Service Bulletins other than the 2 out of 3 pages of #59 and the Butyl Sealing Commandments of #60? That's all I've found in the wild. The missing page 2 of #59 seems like it might have some good stuff as there are a number of woofers missing from the 2 existing...

    Refurbed KLH Model 30 speakers sound "harsh"

    I ended up with a pair of KLH Model 30s with no tweets. I acquired a couple of compatible Model 20 tweeters off Ebay and pulled the Model 30's screw-in woofers to gain access to the crossover. The front panel on these is made of fairly coarse particle board and appears to not like having the...

    Possible KLH woofer surround treatment option ...

    RONG! DO NOT DO THIS! - Anybody tried automotive tubeless tire bead sealant for this purpose? Label says it's simply "heptane, natural rubber latex" ... seems like a possibility, no? I imagine it might benefit from thinning with some more heptane if it's too gooey. Thanks in advance for any...

    Dying KLH Model 6 tweeter or dying caps?

    Recapped pair of Model 6's, but the tweeter on one speaker is now not working. I'll then take everything apart, and attach my speaker wire directly to the tweeter, which then comes alive. Put everything back together, woofer/tweeter then sounds fine. (Woofer never dies). But then not even an...

    KLH Model 6 possible dead tweeter?

    I recently picked up a pair of KLH Model 6s (screwed woofer, not glued) and found that the tweeter in one of them sounded a bit weak. I tried flipping the channels from my amp to check if that was the issue but it persisted in the same speaker, and after a recap today it's still the same. The...

    KLH 915OAK any info?

    Picked up a pair of KLH 915OAK, they sound pretty crisp. I can't find much at all online about these things except they are likely from the '90's. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
