"Electronics for Dummies" you can find it through your public library, cheaper than purchasing it. -
I'm a little surprised that Klipsch authorized the use of electrolytic capacitors to replace the original film capacitors across the woofer. I believe Michael Crites did the same thing on the AK-3 he sells. Good to know! -

1981 was a transition year at klipsch , 1981 CBR Cornwall 1 should have the B2T crossover , the midrange driver could be any of 3 drivers....k-55V pushpin -dual phase plug k-55V - K-51V ., all 3 drivers sound pretty much identical . you should see a similar view of the drivers as this picture , unless the midrange driver is the black K-51V -

@JRH Jim Hunter would be able to confirm whether , PWK did authorize a Texas outfit to make a Heresy style speaker since that would have happened in the late 70's or early 80's at the latest .

The added bonus to 1981 is that you should have soldered lug K-55-V drivers which are the best of all the K-55's Klipsch used. -

Mr. Hunter - if you have the inclination to comment, that Annapolis Rebel chamber pic has been working on my head. What I wonder is if the holes are the throat or an absorber chamber to smooth it out...or another resonator to load it under cutoff. I can't find the exact references, but IIRC PWK had commented at various times about porting, too (ala maybe Novak and even Roy later/now) to protect the driver a little below where the horn unloads (although the pictured ones are much too short for that). Is that thing a "normal" Rebel 1 (or was there even such a thing)? I just threw a throat adaptor in my little Hornresp model of what I've guessed (from the patent) to be a Rebel 1 and sure-enough, it works more like the later Rebels. It still unloads pretty high, but it kicks butt in its limited bandwidth (like seemingly everything the man did). All I could really glean from the '53 K26/7 brochure was he was talking about basically acoustically lowpassing--like the other Rebel "LC-stuff" in the Small Corner Horns article. So were the earlier (40's) ones the same thinking or did it evolve to that in the 50's? Thanks for taking the time to read and for all you do!
