    Klipschorn Crossover Question

    Anyone have experience using ALK’s Extreme slope Network on Stock Klipschorns? Is it worth the cost or just stick with AA xo’s with new caps. Basically is there any sound improvement regardless of your amp or room?

    what kind of speaker is this?

    A employee at work said he had a pair of Klipsck speakers at home and sent this picture to me. I can find it any model number and looked on the internet but can't find a picture of them. He said a friend got them in the early 80's in Germany.

    $200 for bookshelf speakers... rebuilt B+W or Klipsch Reference?

    Im setting up my first real turntable setup, and so far I have a Technics SL20 with a 90s Pioneer Reciever. I've got a small LA apartment living room that I need bookshelf speakers for, and have more or less $200 to spend. My dad is wanting me to go new, and doesn't like risking used equipment...

    Potentially polarizing question regarding Klipsch

    Hey folks, So I admit it. I couldn't stand my KG-4s. I understand that that makes me somewhat of a pariah around here, but they were terrible for my ears. Too harsh, too fatiguing, and overall the least-listened-to speakers in my stable until I ended up selling them. My question is for those...

    Altec 803B Question

    I have a pair of Altec 803B speakers recently purchased in odd cabinets. I removed them today and was a little surprised. I was wondering if it is worthwhile getting them re coned due to the fact that they are somewhat stained. Although the sound was great when I hooked them up prior to removal...

    Klipsch Speaker/Wood finish Code Help

    Anyone know what "B-2" wood code means? I assume it is some type of Birch but the Number 2 doesn't make sense. I haven't found anything in my research with this type of wood code.

    Stands for the Klipsch Epic CF-4

    Hello, folks. I have a pair of the Klipsch Epic CF-4 (version 1). A portrait of them is currently my avatar. These are big, beautiful sounding speakers - but they have a major flaw, one I'm convinced ultimately doomed the Epic line: the tweeters are placed too darn low, particularly for such a...

    Klipsch Heresy II's? Good Deal?

    I have a chance to pick up some Klipsch Heresy II's in Walnut cabinets on CL that are in very good shape. Some cosmetic wear on cabs, but the grills and woofers look pristine. They also come with the angled risers. I am guessing I could get the pair for around $300. Seems like a good deal to me...

    Musical Paradise MP-401 mk2 thoughts, etc.

    First, a little background and context: about 4 months ago, I got a bee in my bonnet and wanted to switch out my existing setup in our main living room area. I had a Yamaha amp, some Monitor Audio bookshelves, and a Sunfire sub, and I listened to most music through my refurbished TD-160 super...

    Cornwalls SCORED

    I have had a saved search on Bay Area Craigslist for a year or so for "Klipsch Cornwalls." Since then I received hundreds of email notifications- every time someone has posted on CL just looking for Cornwalls or (more commonly) putting the words "Klipsch Cornwalls" among a hundred other hifi...

    How to Hook up Four Speakers (JBL & KLIPSCH)?

    I would like to hook up 4 speakers to my Yamaha V667. I have a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls and JBL 80T's. Can I hook up my Cornwalls to the speaker terminals directly to the receiver, and hook up my JBL's through the pre-outs via a power amp? Will that work? Thanks!

    Impressions: Klipsch KG 3.2 vs Boston HD10

    Well, I'm not a seasoned audiophile like a lot around here, but I'm trying to get a little more out of my music so I'm starting to roll some vintage speakers for fun. Right now, the best sounding configuration I've put together is also the cheapest. I have about a $200 into this system with the...

    Help choosing a turntable!

    Recently, I started to grow a collection of vintage hifi components. Nothing too fancy, but I missed hearing the marantz sound (I sold a 2270 years ago that was giving me trouble and bought a Brio R instead). Because of these forums, I've picked up a 2275, 2230 and dynaco a25s, large advents...

    Synergisitics Model S-62A speakers - WOW!

    Let me start from saying that I am in no way any expert when it comes to stereo equipment. I try different things as they come up, read a lot here and other places and learn from all this. I never had any experience with real "Hi End" stuff, but by now I have managed to put together a few decent...

    Custom Klipsch KG 5.5 Center Speaker

    Four months ago I stumbled across a minty pair of Klipsch KG 5.5 towers in light oak at a local thrift store. I hadn't ever seen any Klipsch gear in this area before, and I knew I had to have them. One hundred and one smackers later, I loaded them (and a vintage gray felt Stetson fedora in my...

    Old but new to me system hook up

    I am asking for some help here. I have recently inherited my fathers audio equipment, and I need some help setting it back up in my house. Some of the components are missing, but I think I have a pretty good start. I understand audio pretty well, although I grew up with the audio of the late...

    Klipsch Heresy Question

    Hello all. I found these Klipsch Heresy speakers at a Goodwill. They didn't have them plugged up buto I took a gamble. So the dust cover seems to be taped for some reason. Any ideas as to why this was done? I'm scared to remove the tape since the speakers seem to play fine as is. There is some...

    Klipsch RF-3 speakers

    I'm considering buying a pair of Klipsch RF-3 speakers but them being 15 years old concerns me. I was just wondering what kind of material they use around their woofers and if they go bad?

    Klipsch Forte v1s + ? (Marantz, McIntosh, or Other)

    My quest for a great vintage stereo system began with a Marantz 2238b which I purchased on eBay ... and which arrived with a broken selector knob. I am presently doing research on the costs of repair + restoration, and whether or not it would be wiser to repair it or to keep it around as a...

    Klipsch Heresy I Upgrade Recommendations?

    Hi all: My thoughtful girlfriend snagged a pair of 1975 Klipsch Heresy Is at a garage sale this past week for me. I've never had Heresys and these are the "Designer" model with no speaker grill, original raw birch that I assume the first owner stained. The finish is okay for 40+ years, but...
