Since it won't, here's a picture of a partial EKlipsch from a few years ago for you. 😂
I'm stealing this (photo credit to Mr. Murg).
Thanks.

Too bad it can't coincide with the EKlipsch
I tried, wasn't in the cards, but that's okay.
As announced during the 2017 Klipsch Museum Transfer Ceremony, the eKlipsch goes over the Museum in Hope, followed shortly after going over Klipsch HQ in Indianapolis.
I know that Matt and his crew will probably have something exciting going on in Indy (weather permitting) and the City of Hope is doing something out at the airport (where the Paul W. Klipsch Education Center is located, sound by the Klipsch Museum of Audio History.

Thanks for the closeup pictures. I have no idea how much you gave for those speakers, but you got burned. Sell them to me and save yourself some frustration.

That's all this place needs more certified Boneheads
Yes, you should come. I will slot you in to talk about the fine attributes of high-dollar capacitors, and expensive cables. Oh wait, that's another dude.
It would be great to see you Craig, and you will have the company of several from the Great State of Michigan.

There is a size limit on photos, you typically need to shrink them down a bit.

@Chief bonehead or @Travis In Austin - Are there any details available yet on the Chief Bonehead class or the rest of the events of the PWK Birthday Bash? I don't haul my butt all the way to Arkansas for just anything. 🙂
More details to follow probably tomorrow.
Roy is going to cook again.
Some never seen/heard before Heritage will be the centerpiece of the Class. @Chief bonehead will run the class portion, assisted by Klipsch Heritage Brand Ambassador, Mike Dyer who will be pounding Dr. Klipsch's Four Fundamental Design Principles and how they have been incorporated into whatever it is Roy has under wraps.
I wanted to auction the opportunity to set fire to a pair of Bose 901's as Museum Fundraiser and now some guy with caller ID of "Hp/Hmstd F. Mshal" is lighting up my phone.
More to follow tomorrow.
Thanks for asking.

The Museum Curator @JRH Jim Hunter will see this and may have some more information on the Short Horns.
Can you post some photos of them?

Hello all,
this is my first post to the forum.
I recently acquired my first set of quality stereo speakers … in an unusual form factor:
klipsch heresy wedge monitors , HIE crossovers. All original.
3743 and 3745k-42-EV
k-55-M
k-77-M
I got them for a deal , one works great… the other worked great for a moment…
it started cutting out at lower volumes , and distorting at higher .
At first I thought it could be failing caps , but I’ve read some good feedback on removing the zener diodes from circuit. I’ll be trying that today unless I am advised not to here .
i am so eager to get these going , I’m sure the information is out there but I thought I’d make this post and see if one of you more knowledgeable people could point me in the right direction and get this going faster than I could researching between jobs.
if I could retain the original caps by removing the zener diodes from circuit that would be ideal. If not I’ll probably recap both speakers and sell the original caps that test in spec. Yes I know it will eventually need to be recapped but they are expensive , especially for the HIE one.
additionally - I want to use these for home stereo use mostly, so the boxes should go. Yes it is sad separating these drivers from their original cases … but to any of the offended I’ll say this : there’s nothing more fitting for these than an act of heresy.
i am 24 and pretty tight w money so I’ll probably use a cheaper wood just to get them going and rehaul the project again in later years .
i see some talk about converting HIE crossovers to AA style . If anyone could speak to the advantages of this - it is unclear to me as of now. I can’t have opinions about what style I prefer since I haven’t heard them. And I am still learning about what a “super heresy” is. Since I’ll be building new boxes for these , anything is possible . I’ll definitely need to implement some more low end eventually , whether that be the traditional separate sub, port, or something more innovative.
I’ll be selling the wedge monitor boxes , if I could do this to fund the materials for building new boxes that would be great… I don’t have much room for storage . If anyone wanted to give any thoughts of what the boxes are worth , or the speakers as a whole , I can’t find much price references within recent years . Inflation moves fast these days .
anyways , I’m normally hesitant to jump into forums but this one seems great from what I’ve seen . Excited to be here hope you have a great day.
@Deang might have some input on the Zeners and crossovers that would be helpful.

I like being able to see the bass horn. It makes it visually appealing and interesting.
Yeah, but his dog didn't seem to fancy it too much
I agree Bruce.

Yup, seems like a bad tweeter. Swapping the tweeter did nothing. However, I also ran a few tests with a multimeter.
1. I Set it to ohms/resistance. Disconnected the wires from the crossover to the tweeter and put meter leads on each wire. I should read some resistance across the tweeter; less than say, 10 ohms. If the meter doesn't read anything, the voicecoil is open and the tweeter is bad. I did not get a reading. So tweeter is bad right? Probably.
Poor pup he clearly thinks you bought him a dog house and he is thinking "if you think I can fit in that you really need to lay of the bourbon."
Looks like you have factory grills. I had 90ish (they didn't have records for the S/N I had due to the merge of computer data it was their best date estimate).
-
I have bought 3 pairs, one for Khorns and they went with the Khorns, another pair for some 1990 LS, this was in '04, I didn't like that batch because it looked like they had white cracks and '90 LS had no grills, so I got a different run. I still have a brand new pair in the box from Klipsch.
But the most recent pair was about 10 years ago so I have no idea other than what I have seen people post.

New years party was with 2 Yamaha MSR 400 speakers and a Yamaha active sub, that was more than enough. But how do the RF62’s + sub compare with such an active system?
As mentioned in an earlier response, RF62 with a sub will excel over the MSR 400 PA system. However, the RF 82 would be breathtaking, as would RF7 III.
What the distance between the L and R Speaker?

Any update (if there is any) about these subs will be apriciate
Um, not since the Bonehead Class in October and those threads.
Roy is doing another Bonehead Class in March as part of the Birthday Bash, and the subwoofers and some other Heritage “advancements” are being discussed as his topics. I expect another round of updates, refinements and announcements at that time.

Hello all, this is my first post. I found a very nice looking pair of 1984 La Scalas for sale nearby. I gaduated high school in 1984, and a buddy of mine back then (much wealthier than I) had a pair of La Scalas at the time. I have wanted La Scalas ever since. So, I was ready to make an offer today, but upon demo one speaker had a silent tweeter and the other had a silent squawker. The crossover is the often maligned AL Network.
Since the speakers are 40 years old.
I was planning to replace the crossovers [Moderator Edit].
But I was hoping to not replace them immediately, and certainly was hoping to not replace any of the drivers. The squawkers are the 55M. The tweeters are K77 but I forgot to take pictures of them. Everything looks original. I think my only option would be to replace the crossovers and all four speakers. Or I could roll the dice and just replace the crossovers and see if that fixes the problem.
Q1: What are the odds that each AL crossover network is to blame for one driver not working?
Q2: If I do replace everything but the woofers, what is the best bang for the buck option for this vintage cabinet, i.e. matching drivers and crossover networks?
Q3: I think a reasonable price offer should be based on needing all four speakers and two crossovers. Any thoughts on if that is north or south of 1K?
Any other tips or advice appreciated.
Mike
Welcome to the forum, I edited the part about unsupported non-authorized networks, left the rest as is.
Q1: One in a million (that it’s a complete failure of a part on the network leading to a different driver not working on each speaker). It’s very, very common to have the problem with loose connections on the crossover networks and/or driver terminals.
You heard a sound in 1984 (same thing for me in ‘78), you are going to want what you heard in ‘84.
Bad connections are very common, so use that to your advantage on the offer.
We can help you isolate the problems when you get them home. If the drivers need new diaphragms, where and how to replace. We will want photos of rear of drivers.
@Deang is an authorized rebuilder of XOs and can tell you the good bad and the ugly on every variation that was used in the LS.
I think you have a bad tweeter diaphragm, and a bad squawker connection. But buy based on needing total replacements. Which as you point out is four drivers.
It probably going to be that you don’t need to replace XO’s right away, you get all drivers working, and then you can figure out what to do on the XOs.
Q3 based on what Dean and others tell you on what would cost of diaphragms, XO build you can judge from there.
looking forward to hearing how this progresses.

Tv is centered on the wall, I marked with violet where the front speakers should be. Couch is either in the center, front of TV or to the side as in the picture.
Wow, that will help!
