Do you still have the original AA crossover? Coils and Autoformers NEVER get worse. I have 1973 and 1977 AA coils and original T2A Autoformers. You have to take care of them like the apple of your eye. The coils and autoformers used by Crites are of poorer quality, and the autoformers have different electrical values than the original Klipsch T2A even if the inductance values are correct, but the ESR is wrong. The only thing you need are new caps. The caps that fit and sound best were selected by Roy Delgado, Klipsch's chief engineer. You can buy them from JEM. These caps maintain the original impedance of the entire crossover, which is very important for balanced bass and treble reproduction. Believe me, after some wrong turns, also with Crites crossovers, I have brought my 1973 Khorn and 1977 LaScala up to scratch. What is a clearly audible improvement in the old Khorns is that I have renewed all the soldering points and the cable tips (shortened the cables a little, removed the sheathing and re-tinned them, even if there are people here who disagree. Look here: -

As an FYI... when I paid for my Jubilees using BTC, I helped Cory thru the transaction... the first Crypto transaction for a major Klipsch Speaker purchase ever. that was when BTC was at $47,000... and when the price started dropping, Cory started Bitching and moaning about the shrinking value of the asset. Well Cory, who's bitching now... BTC is about $63,000 now... that means the MONEY I used to pay for my speakers is worth nearly 30% more than when I purchased them... if you held USD it would be worth 40% less in purchasing power, and that differential is going to be getting MUCH wider. you should have listened to me instead of BITCHING and whining.

Not sure your situation with your current xovers, but, why not just replace the caps? Many have been satisfied with the very reasonable parts (IMHO) from JEM: https://support.klipsch.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036957831 -
Send me a million dollars and I will send you some BTC... I live in Nigeria.

I am looking to replace the crossovers on my Klipschorns and I am looking for some recommendation on where to source the autotransformers. I would just grab the Crites AA crossovers and be done but I can't fathom the price they are charging for the Type AA crossover. The Type A costs $325USD and Type AA, with an additional $3 air core inductor and $3 2mfd cap, costs $540?! $215 for $12 in extra parts and an ever so slight increase in labor. Based on the photos it looks like they are using a cheaper Dayton iron core inductor for the copper level on the Type AA too. Are people just getting the 3636 autotransformers from Crites for $120 and building there own? Are there other places to get a T2A equivalent autotransformer? -

Meanwhile, Milton forecast to hit just above Tampa Bay or below...lots of forum members... Beware !!! -
Im kinda of hoping he will opt for new, merely because I'll have to help troubleshoot any problems, otherwise I'd be all for older and used. I'm still running my BA A60s from the mid-80's. -
I never interacted with Grasshopper but always enjoyed his posts and perspective on life, etc. Wish I had met him at some point. I know it would have been a hoot. He will be missed here. RIP
