dunno.. seems there is no info anymore http://www.klipsch.com.au/products/klf-20

wow.. the 30s that much better than the 20s? in what way? What model chorus I or II?

Wow.. I remember the Arthur Fiedler Boston Pops catalogs... I was in my teens and always accompanied my parents on Friday night grocery shopping to the local mall.. There was a Radio Shack and an audio store featuring the most gorgeous Marantz receivers, BIC Venturi speakers and Technics black SL1900 turntables... Memories!... I ended up buying a pair of Advent Large Loudspeakers, Pioneer SA7500II, and Dual 510/Shure MD95... still have em all!

something fishy here.... the box volume Vb is 16.89 liters.. that is less than a cubic foot.. you sure you didn't enter a typo? Look at the Vas of the K22... you entered 6 liters instead of 6 cubic feet.... have another beer! :-) I tried this with Win ISD a while back and just could not get the K22 to do too much. It is puzzling what the Tangent 400 does. I have a pair in the basement... I suspect it is not an optimum driver/box/port combo.

like $600US! I may visit them!

seems like the majority of the contributors are heritage owners/lovers. Where are the KLF lovers? I know that choosing between great speakers is often a personal subjective choice. Would seem that Klipsch would not want to make an inferior speaker when they replaced the Cornwall with Chorus or Forte or Legend series. What makes everyone love the Cornwall over what should be a better speaker? Reason I ask I am in the process of deciding between Cornwalls and later models such as ForteI or II and Chorus and KLFs.. Old cornwalls seem to be much more readily available than newer models.

Great...thanks.... so the US$1000 and US$1300 being asked on CL for KLF30s is a bit much!

those felt things seem to show someone was using these for a frigging Center channel! Those are HUGE... Me Need NOW>. but what about the WAF? BTW How much $?

How much where they going for? Trying to get an Idea for reasonable price.

Problem Solved....Snagged a lovely minty pair of KLF-C7! for C$100 each! Less than a couple of DIY woofers! Now to find a pair of KLF-20 of 30.... I think I know where! CF4 or CF3 would be dandy too. What would be a decent price for them? notwitstanding the baffle board deglue issue... I don't see many coming up for sale. So...pair of ugly Heresy walnuts for sale... and the 9.5/10 Tangent 400s when I get a replacement.

If I were doing this and just wanted to try a few things I would make the Mid and Tweeter on a removable mount so you can rotate them easy to see what sounds the way you want. Like this guy. how fast can that rotate? does it have a motor on it like the old Leslie?

this is too complicated.. I think I will buy Bose... agreed the simplest thing to do is try a few things! thanks guys.

Really? You will be in for a special surprise if you make the effort to time align your mid and tweeters to the woofer on a set of Heresy. I have played with the three way Heresy and also a pair set up as a two way. Time alignment of drivers generally does not make customers happy because they look so strange and it generally does not make manufacturers very happy for the obvious reasons. Sure sounds good though. Moray, you may have missed a part. The OP wanted to use a couple of Eminence 8 or 10" woofers then hook the mid to one, the woofer to the other in a custom enclosure. I agree with Scrappy that if he is going to use Heresy guts, don't lay it sideways in a custom horizontal cab. Keep it stock and upright, the way it was intended. thanks for this but still everyone says keep it upright but nobody can say why? Nor how to use the vertical cornwall... I am anal about this! If Klipsch designed a vertical cornwall, why not a vertical heresy?

yes thanks that is what I was thinking of. I already have kg4 tweets and crossovers,,,, but 8k8 woofers are getting hard to find. Seems they just age poorly. KG4 pairs go on sale around her for $300-400 canadian I could take one and convert it to a front sell the rest of the parts.... The reason I was thinking down that path was because there was a pair of KG5.5s also for sale around here Anyway... I will stick to heritage at this point.. see what it sounds like...

Yes aesthetics and positioning issue as many have. You mean the lobing issues due to the phased difference at crossover freq that the d'appolito is supposed to avoid? Perhaps I can try it out by placing one Heresy portrait for the mid and highs and place a second heresy with the woofer beside it, Obviously disconnecting the unused drivers in the other one. Just FYI... i have 2 tangent 400s(picked up for $300canadian... was a great deal figured why not try them out) and a lovely pair of modified, vented Heresys as mains. Plus a rougher set of walnut heresies that I wanted to use for the center. side and rear surrounds will be KG4 tweeter with Alpha8 woofer in a wedge vented box. Already have the parts, they where purchased years ago and made into a portable PA speaker.. so will reuse them for HT Sad part is had a pair of La Scalas purchased from Dodger in Rochester over a decade ago I sold them because i just did not have the room. sigh.

thanks for the feedback. Ok so never mind the KG or Academy (just spent the last 3 hours searching and reading on Cornwall and Heresy centers) I don't quite understand the the purpose of the vertical Cornwall. Is it intended to stand upright, leaving the mid and tweet vertical? or is it intended to lie it down "landscape" so that the mid and tweet are horizontal again? this thread seems to question this: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/113014-klipsch-tweeter-placement/ I have seen a few posts that suggest for a center you want the mid/high vertical to reduce the horizontal dispersion! (like the academy) I have also read some posts that suggest you can't tell the difference much. Does the vertical cornwall have a different crossover than the horizontal Cornwall? If not, then why not make a vertical Heresy and lie it landscape? Like this: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/125622-vertical-heresy-center/ thanks guys Finally building the HT room after 20 in this house!

What is the thought on d'appolito centers? I have some older Heresys and was thinking of using one to build a custom d'appolito center The mid and highs would be horizontal as normal, but the 12 inch 8ohm woofer replaced by 2 8 inch or 10 inch woofers placed in a d'appolito configuration. The Eminence Alpha8A has 94db/meter sensitivity The Eminence Alpha10A has 95.6db/meter sensitivity Both are 8ohms. I could use 2 of the heresy crossovers, one for woofer.mid.tweet, while the other crossover just for the second woofer. Or I could find 4 ohm woofers and wire them in series. Question1: why is the Academy tweeter vertical? Question2: an alternative would be to buy a KG4 and change the cabinet to a horizontal design, with the woofers L and R of the tweeter. Odd that we have not seen more of these mods. Thoughts? What if I just use one Heresy and change the motor board to place the mid/tweet horizontal when the box is sideways (IE a Heresy vertical.... yes I have read that thread) Should I keep the tweeter horizontal or vertical as in the original T35 data sheet? That is, the K700 horizontal and the K77 vertical? Or both horizontal? thanks

Where are you? I have lots of Rattle Trap Exteme Foil backed... left over from a car audio install.

thanks everyone.. I went to look and listen to the pair this week. They are almost pristine small scratch here and there. But to be honest, the listening environenment was not good and the source was cd played on a cheap dvd player. I was not overwhelmed by them. Pretty pair yes. Don't know what to do. Probably settle for what I have. The Bryston and Sherbourn.. where a knee jerk reaction to not buying a Mac 250 with Quad preamp and other stuff for $600 at a garage/yard sale this summer. Yes Shoot me...

thanks Jim Probably engineered floor with some rugs, a big sectional sofa and maybe a book case, small audio/video gear cabinet. Not much more. Right now its only concrete and beams in the basement!

Hello Been on this forum a lot long ago and may finally be building out the HT/audio room. Size available is 18 x 15 with speakers along the longer wall. Several plans.. I already have 2pairs of Heresy's but am looking at a pair of 1984 Belle's. I could us them for stereo or for HT. So is the room big enough for the Belles? I plan on using a Bryston 2B-LP amp http://www.bryston.com/products/power_amps/2B-LP-PRO.html a Sherbourne Pre-1 http://www.questforsound.com/preamps/preamps_sherbourn_pre1.htm I also have a Denon DVD-2900 cd player and other older vintage equipment such as Sansui 771. Even have a pair of Heathkit W5M amps that may eventually see life again...and lots of vinyl still. Some feed back would be appreciated. Thanks.

so basically similar to a Chorus II midrange. but larger to still keep the 400 Hz X over?
