You don't need to wait until Spring to find out everything you want to know about the Heritage Subwoofers, @Chief bonehead and the Klipsch Museum of Audio History will be doing a Subfest (A Chief Bonehead Class) on November 10th in the lab and Museum facilities in Hope. More information will be posted in the Museum Section of the Forum in the next couple of days. Save that date, and stay tuned. Travis

If you ship, figure out a way to remove the spindles before shipping, trust me on this. Travis

Cessna 190/195 example.

The Cessna 190 was an extremely difficult airplane to fly. I have about 40 hours in one (my dad’s close friend owned one). The flaps were tiny, essentially had no effect so you really had to plan ahead. Giant radial Jacobs engine, zero visibility while taxing, had to zig zag to see where you were going.

Sorry I didn’t see this until now. Are you in Travis or Hays?

Carry on, or if you want me to lock it I will do whatever you wish. There won’t be any prohibited OT posts going forward so you don’t need to worry about that.

Everything you said was out of line. Purely political, clearly off limits. If this doesn’t meet your low standards, too bad.

Think there are a few things we can check before you are to that point. There are several things that are much more likely than two XOs needing replacement. what is the latest status. Travis

@Rivernuggets

Hi Darrel, welcome to the Forum. Not sure what you will get in the way of responses to your question. The Klipsch Forum isn’t really manned by any Klipsch Customer Service or Tech Support people. It’s pretty much a place for Klipsch Fans to hang out, share experiences, and help with technical issues, but those technical issues tend to be on products that have been out awhile. For a current product you might want to direct you question as a “service ticket” to Klipsch Tech Support. Certainly warranty questions can only be answered directly with Klipsch Customer/Tech. Support.

Me either, certainly not like Andy B. I don’t think they changed the LF cabinet much, if any, from since at least the early 60s up all they way into the 90s. Other than an enclosed back for an anniversary edition here and there, they seem pretty much identical all the way through. The esthetics on the top hat did change with collars, plain, etc. Travis

Welcome to the Forum, I'm not sure how much traction you will get with you question in this older thread. If you want me to move it the technical section where it will get more visibility let me know and I will move it. I have KG-4s, from 1986, and the have always loved them, but I haven't changed the caps. To make sure you get the original sound you are used to you would want to go with JEM Performance who sell the factory-authorized (and tested) caps, or you can have @Deang who installs the factory-authorized kits. Travis

Welcome to the Forum

Hi @Scott Grammer, how is this coming along? Wondering what you decided on the caps. I didn't realize you were neighbors with my good forum friend @Marvel. Travis

@Scott Grammer I believe this is going to be your answer. Fifty posts.

Edit: Misread this, backward. Already answered - that large of a voice coil, as associated disprharm will translate to much, much lower distortion that a 3" or 4" CD. The problem was the directivity of a 3" or 4" CD (it is inherent in the geometry of a CD) until you have a patent pending external extended phase plug that gets around that shortcoming. So you have low distortion (Design Criterial No. 1) and controlled directivity (Design Cirterial No. 2) coupled with flat response (No. 3), in a 2-way.

He is gone now, same in another post. But nice to see @dtel Tiki bar again.

He hasn’t been on in over a year, but you never know

You are asking questions that only a couple of people know the answer to, Roy the current Chief acoustic engineer on the Khorn going back a ways, and Jim Hunter, the former VP of Engineering, Company Historian and curator of the Klipsch Museum. I don’t know that either one of them would be able to discuss the specifics of what you are asking. Real Baltic Birch plywood isn’t cheaper. Everything is about the sound at Klipsch.,

That explains why you were upset, you are a 3d and weld type of guy, not a “super glue and duct tape will do.” On a side note, you’re a good dad in my book.

Surprised no one said to try the Forte IV in a 10 x 10, I have hear them on a 12’ wall in a 12 x 14 and pretty amazing. Travis

Burger-fi, that’s a classic

Doc Sevrenson had LaScalas. I think Klipsch Khorn, and do Jazz Trumpet more like like than any other speaker. However, the recordings have got to be good, they are very unforgiving of poor recordings. Travis
