  1. I did not check, but the woofer / compression slot looks too big. With it going all the way out to the wedg/guide, the edge of the woofer basket will have to seal that point. I am not sure it will.  I noticed this in the drawing. Without that slot the right size, you will not get the right compression ratio and thus not the right output.

    wvu80 I see you mentioned Trey Cannon crossover rebuild service. I looks like he is referring people to Jemperformanceaudio. Has anyone seen photos of Trey Cannon restoration or Jemperformanceaudio restoration? Just curious what the layout looks like. If it were up to I would prefer to find the exact caps that were in there but that is probably not even possible.

    The old oil filled caps were replaced with Poly film caps in about 94 maybe earlier.

  8. KLIPSCH IS NOT OFFERING THIS  TREY CANNON IS. 

    KLIPSCH OFFERED THIS 15 YEARS AGO, WE HAD 10 NETWORKS A YEAR COME IN FOR REPAIR.

    I AM OFFERING THIS NOW BECAUSE MY JOB ALLOWS ME TIME ENOUGH TO DO IT.

    I AM OFFERING THIS FOR FREE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HURT ME TO HELP MY FELLOW MAN.

    I WILL NOT GET INTO A "HE IS DOING THIS OR THAT" OR "HIS WORK IS BETTER" OR ANY SUCH BS.

  9. Yes...Same offer here.    

    If you have or replace your drivers with KLIPSCH STOCK parts and have a network, I will do the work of repairing what you have for free. 

    Ship the nets to me once I have the parts on hand for your unit. I will turn them in a day and ship back out the next day... Replacing parts will take about 30 min for each network. ( I am slower that I use to be)  You pay shipping here and back and pay for any parts used.  My guess is that parts will cost about $30 each, or less. 

    The email to start this is  crossover_repair@gmail.com 

    I have 6 or 7 guys in line. 

    I have parts dept. working up a list of parts and MSRP for them.

    I plan to do a video of how to repair a network so you can follow along and do it your self. 

    I am playing with the idea of a repair kit that ships out with parts, how to and soldiering gun and solder.  not sure how that would go over...

    @Trey Cannon  Still curious on those AB-3 crossovers.  Have you personally ever heard the differences between the AB-2 and later version AB-3's?

    Yes I have heard the difference...there isn't much. I would have to look at time lines, but the change could have been due to a driver change. V to the M mid...or round to sqr. Tw.

    Unless they are side by side, I would be hard pressed to pick one out in a test over the other.

    @Trey Cannon  Would those be the the more original K-77 style or the new Klipschorn style tweeters?  Are there any that go to 20k?

     

    Speaking of buying parts from Klipsch, would you guys happen to have any of the Belle crossovers from the last iteration before they were discontinued in 2005?  I think Roy said they were the AB-3'?  Maybe that was the last one.

     

    I thought I'd read where "Klipsch isn't in the business to sell parts"?

     

    You will have to contact parts for the network...My guess is we have none...We do have a schematic if you want to build one yourself. $30 or so in parts (unless you buy the crazy cost parts.) We use 10% tolerance parts.  The ckt is built to work with that level of part. anything different can be out of spec.

     

    20 kHz....we can't hear that anymore anyway (well, I can't anyway)...sorry, no parts for that.

     

    We carry some replacement parts. You have a speaker and can prove it and we have the part...cool.  You call up wanting to build your own speaker.....no go.

    The new tweeter Klipsch is using looks like a Celestion, and the horn appears to be much bigger than the one on the K-77. Therefore, it cannot be used to replace/upgrade the K-77. Also, unless you have a serial number from a current Heritage loudspeaker that is using the new tweeter, you won't be able to buy the part. So, the only thing you can get from Klipsch is a new K-77 to replace a K-77, which obviously doesn't make any sense.

    Look at that...some one that knows more than a 20 year klipsch employee....how about that.

    You can listen to others or call parts and get the K-77-D Which IS the same driver as you have now (only new) with a different mounting horn on it...remove your horn and put it on the new driver....all done.

    This is a replacement for the old products. Not the new AK-5.  IF you have a bad driver, this will get you working right. I would not replace a working driver with a new working driver...

     

    No you can not get the new driver or use it in an old speaker without work. (Which we can't help with)

  13. They are made to be as close as you can get.  The drivers are from two different vendors. EVERYONE of the vendors for klipsch has a hard time getting the color right. 

    But in the end, the color has no bearing on the sound. Keep the grills on and no one will ever know.  Congrats on the new system.
