I’m sorry to hear that Gary. Good memories from the past.

That looks hopeful.
They really need to sort out the problems with the powered products. I like the reference to the extreme levels of testing. It inspires some confidence. I wanted the Nines so bad, I just couldn’t make myself do it

I suggest you simply enjoy it while it lasts, and if it fails, contact Klipsch. If they don’t do anything for you - just move on. Most of us have learned to avoid the powered products.

AL-3 has a polyswitch for tweeter protection. Other than that, the midrange and tweeter filter sections of the AL-3 and AK-3 are identical.
You might consider sending the tweeter too.

Considering the alternative, yeah. So what’s the plan, drag them out to the curb?

I get it, everyone wants to be helpful. It’s admirable.
I hadn’t noticed the value on the electrolytic. Yeah, it look like he’s running AK-3’s in his AL-3 La Scalas. Very little difference of course - just that low pass shunt cap. Now, if you want details - You will have to check with my technical lead (who actually understands math). @mboxler

If I build something and it stops working, I expect the end user to send it back to me. I will stand behind my work, and there will be no charge, regardless of what I find. However, If they start poking around, etc. - all bets are off and they are going to get billed for the work.
I can’t really figure out this insistence on digging into this network when I’m pretty sure Michael would take care of it at no charge.

Contact the vendor who built the networks. There is probably a label underneath with the contact information.

Same.

It’s an AL-3.
Using your fully functioning La Scala, loosen the two screws for the tweeter and remove the tweeter connections. Now connect your non working tweeter to those connection points on the barrier strip. Play some music. If you hear the tweeter the other network has an issue.

Seller was confused. Those are AL-3’s.
HIE is basically a Heresy tapped out like an AA, and uses an 8uF instead of a 13uF.

It’s the right choice because of the drivers you are running. If you want the sound to be a bit more crisp and detailed - replace those 40 year old capacitors. Be sure to use their modern factory equivalents.
-
Nice job.
Sounding pretty good I would imagine.

It’s always a crossover issue.

I read through this entire thread, only to find that no one knows the answer, which is 1 Hz. 🙂

I don’t remember that measurement but I do remember my personal experience. After changing out the diaphragms in my two port phase plug K-55-V’s, I had a hard time pinning down if I was really hearing a difference or just thought I was hearing a difference.
Speaking of the A-55-G, if you have version one, someone should have told you by now that the diaphragms for version two will not work in it (and I presume vice versa).

I've been telling you about these drivers for some time now and I didn't need a graph to verify what my ears were telling me.
I’ve been thinking about this statement for a few days and how to respond to it.I appreciate opinions from people about what they hear, but since everyone hears differently, opinions are largely subjective. I didn’t think you were lying to me, but I now tend to take everything with the proverbial grain of salt.
I have issues with measurements too. Not everyone measures the same and they are usually done in listening areas. How much is the speaker and how much is the room? Microphone placement also varies, and most are not very forthcoming about their test set ups.
I also take issue with the fact that Klipsch isn’t very forthcoming with data. We are all left to scramble, trying to figure out the right way to do a thing with very little input from the professionals who should be providing guidance. It’s like being on a treasure hunt, and the captain has made off with the map. I think it’s sad that someone like you has to track down somebody from Atlas engineering to get an answer about why the new driver is different. By the way, have you put a new diaphragm in an old driver and curved it?
I’ve gone over the Klipsch update sheets you provided me several times. I have very little confidence in what I’m reading. It doesn’t add up. I have found a satisfactory answer, but you won’t like it.
Yeah, I’m cranky.

About 15 years when they were released.
Just don’t know if it’s reasonable to expect a loudspeaker company to keep spare parts indefinitely for discontinued product.
It’s very possible that the manufacturer of that tweeter either still makes or the model that replaced it.

One hits 6kHz, the other one doesn’t.
I’m in distress. Could someone DoorDash a pizza for me?

Actually a “Belle Klipsch”.

I’m over at AK, and if asked there, I would have given the same answer as Heinz (KT88).
