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.

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

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.

Yes, ever notice the new trend about the news media commenting on asteroid heading towards earth.?
Question is why are sensation about this. Something to just write about would suppose. A miss is as good as a 1000 km.
Or, the boy who cried...Wolf.
Thanks!
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.

Appreciate your input and correction. From my perspective my post is what most people see/hear everyday. You ever catch the news? Nothing I said was out of line. If it doesn’t meet your high standards, tough. I’m sure you will notify the powers that be for removal. It’s good to have forum whistleblowers who are present and alert -Everything you said was out of line. Purely political, clearly off limits.
If this doesn’t meet your low standards, too bad.

Am I missing something here? Any other tests I should do? Should I start looking for some replacement crossovers (116436)?
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.

I just bought this sound bar and reviews say it stops working after a month or so, has this issue been fixed, It has issues with the faulty chip, or should I send it back and get a different kind? And what would the warranty be?
NO #1068777
*600-3 Sound bar NA
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.

I am not the expert on this but '74 and '77 differences? I doubt there are any.
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.

HI just a question i have a pair of KG4s and i noticed when i looked to replace the crossovers that on some models it says 4 ohms on the others its 6 ohms. How hard are these to redo if i buy the Crites kit myself or have them do it for 25 or so more I had a bad tweet and i replaced the diaphragm and they still sounded dull any help
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.

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.

The compression drivers in the KPT Cinema Grandeur look to be much beefier than the Celestion Axi 2050 used with the Heritage Jubilee. I don't see why Klipsch did not go with a more robust 3" or 4" cd with more HF extension for the Heritage Jubillees. For the asking price of the Jubilees, I feel like there could have been better quality components used.
The JBL 4367 and M2 speakers have much beefier cds for almost half the price of the Heritage Jubilees.
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.

Did Klipsch use birch wood because it was cheap and lightweight or because it yielded the best acoustic results?
Or does any other stiff wood do the job as well?
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.,

I plan to 3D print new pegs, sand down the grills, and use plastic welding to attach. First look makes me think the grills are made of ABS which is easy to weld with Acetone. I'll have to test one of the broken pegs to be sure of the plastic material used.
Unless someone already has and can tell me the material used?
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.

played Jazz trumpet for many years, but I could certainly see a rock and roller preferring the bigger brother.
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.
