    Klipsch K-1133 driver question.....

    I got these recently off eBay, when nobody bid but me. I read on Klipschs' pro cinema literature that they were coupled to a K-402 horn, and the two together make up a "KPT-402-MF" They are about 8" across the magnet, weigh 15 lbs, and have a flg with a 2" throat . They sound awesome even...

    I recently picked up a pair of Chorus I speakers that I've started to modify and I wanted to share some thoughts on the upgrades so far and ask what else might be done.

    Klipsch CF-3, Version 1 Rattle?

    Hi. I read that I need to take off the back panel of my Klipsch CF-3, version 1 to better brace the back panel (rattles when bass hits). Never took off the back panel before, can someone walk me through how they did it? Don't want to ruin the panel in any way. Thanks.

    Klipsch kg 4.5 replacement

    I'm considering replacing my Klipsch kg 4.5's with some else. I would like to stay in the same price range. Something that is more well rounded. These kg4.5's just have muddy low end. Everything else about them is great. Ideas? Maybe a three way instead of a two way speaker.

    Disconnected KLIPSCH Horns Effect 8 Ohm Load?

    Would the La Scala or Klipschorn still be considered 8 Ohm if the Mid Horn and/or Tweeter were disconnected from the crossover? Should the leads be removed from the crossover inputs, outputs or from the horn? Would an in-line Buss type fuse at the + speaker input effect the Ohm Load?

    Howdy, I've always liked the sound of efficient speakers and low watt tube amps. A few years back I sold my long-enjoyed pair of Klipsch Heresy (haters please refrain from posting).
