Those look great. The KP301s sound great with chest-pounding bass and are placement-friendly. GLWYS -
Pair of Klipsch KP-301-B Professional speakers. Completely refinished. Look and sound amazing. The specs of the "As" and "Bs" are the same. The "Bs" were designed for permanent installation, thus the aftermarket handles. I also added corner protectors to keep them from getting chipped up. Local Pickup in Cedarburg, WI. Posting pictures is still rather perplexing for an Apple user, so here is a link to my Facebook post: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1557706255080162

Selling my MINT Condition 9.5/10 Forte IV in cherry... Will come with original packaging box for shipping if needed. extra set of original grill will be included. located in SOCAL. asking $3600 -
I had similar problems with my 8000Fs (I use a pair for "wides" and for "rear surround." I did to the 8000Fs what I do to every Klipsch speaker I've owned (except the Palladium P-39Fs, too difficult to disassemble and standing waves in cabinet mitigated by "boat hull shape). I took them apart, improved bracing (L shaped wooden dowels across the cabinet - thrice longways - and 1x2" wooden dowel along each panel side). I re-glued with 2-part epoxy (5min JB weld epoxy flows well) and then another layer with super glue. I lined the ENTIRE inner surfaces with TWO layers of Dynamat, followed by ENTIRE surfaces with No-Rez, followed by polyfill stuffing. Each driver housing was also damped with dynamat. Upgraded cross-overs from GR Research (THIS IS IMPORTANT) and then soldered connections throughout. They sound amazing. (PS - I did the above to my RP-600Ms, RB-75s, RB-81s, 8000Fs, RF-7IIIs, and SPL-150s - improvements across the board with resonance and subs were able to dig 1-2hz lower). -

To follow up and put this question of age and worth to bed, I will mention the documentation and serial number suggest 1970 (serial number 3H464), but both tops have the very cool pie-shaped "PWK" logo seal on the front right, which I thought were only on the 1969 model. What set do I have here, gentlemen? -

From your experience, is it worth using the UFO/ LaScala AL5 combo, if the UFO is not used in balanced mono? Im assuming the UFO2.1 will hum as much as the UFO25 with this speaker. I think I need to find another amp as the hum would drive me crazy also.
