I've been using Jriver for about 6 months now and love it. I used a repurposed desktop that I updated from dual to quad core AMD, upped it to 8gb of memory, upgraded video card with hdmi, and have two 2tb drives with RAID 1 for all music and video files that's currently 1100 CDs ripped as lossless FLAC files and also 80 DVDs using MakeMKV. Works like a champ. I re-ripped all of my CDs in and what was already there for itunes files in a 320 or less format, just moved them from my laptop to the desktop over wireless. Wasn't too bad. Also using the coax digital out from the motherboard to a Fiio DAC to my Carver C-1 preamp.

Call Dave Miller at Speakersorks in Tulsa. 918-664-6299 I've known him for almost 30 years. He's top notch on the recones.

Did you swap the drivers from one speaker to the other to better see if it is in fact the tweeters and not the crossover? Or vice versa?

I love my CF-3's and also have a pair of KLF-30's that will finally be here in a week or so. So, no comparison for each of them yet but soon will be. I gave less than the one listing posted for my 3's and about a third of what those 30's are listed at. They aren't perfect, but will be close to it once I'm done with them.

Basically Heresy 2's in a bigger ported cabinet although not as sturdy of cabinets as other series were. But quite decent speakers. http://www.klipsch.com/t-4000/details

$600? Holy crap they've gone up.

I use Solen caps in pretty much all of my "better" speakers and have now for about 25 years. If they're larger uf caps, I'll sometimes use Dayton 5% poly caps, as mentioned, to save a little. I've not heard enough difference in the Sonicaps I've used to substantiate them over Solens for the extra price. Me personally, anyway.

I've had it now for 10 years and it does indeed suck. If I get a headache of any kind, it gets worse. Some days are better than others, too. Mine is from all the concerts from late 70's into the 00's, being in car audio for 20 years, and playing in bands. I even used ear plugs and headsets most all the time but it still crept in. Nothing like hearing that damn tone all of the time and trying to listen to music.

Post What yours have in them if you have a chance. It would be interesting g to see what the differences are.

So did you call and them not have them?

Call Klipsch directly about those. I needed one for my CF-3's and ordered a pair that were exact matches.

Did you delete the CL ad? It showed expired. So what's the price on them....you never posted that.

Ok...gotcha. The inside dimensions of the ports remained the same as they were before as the new tubes just slipped over the existing plastic ports. Believe me, I do have knowledge in cabinet construction and tuning with round, slotted, rectangular, etc ports plus as aperiodic membranes, etc. 30 years of car and home audio did that for me. Plus, I own a Rockford OSC2 tone generator and have access to an Audio Control SA3050a analyzer if I really want to get jiggy. Lol

I wouldn't see where the 1/4" walls on port tubes would have an adverse affect on cabinet volume versus adding multiple wall braces internally. There's next to nothing in the calculated volume in the space that 2 small ports would take up. That would also be like saying that the added "dynamat" to the horns takes up a lot of space. Ports optimally still need to be solid like cabinet walls for no flexing.

This reminds me of why there is such an allure to vinyl versus digital to some. The "act" of taking the record out, playing it, having to flip it over, put it away when done, etc. It's part of the novelty.

Seemed like it said it was a wooden horn?

Audiokarma, thecarversite, and was on the Polk site till it changed.

These are pretty close to me if someone here is interested. If be glad to help out with these if anyone is interested. http://littlerock.craigslist.org/ele/4698154699.html

Now that there's funny...I don't care who ye are.

Sipping on some Red Moscato right now as I'm trying to get my wife into drinking some on occasion. Not my usual Merlot of Pinot Noir but you have to start somewhere with them.

This may already be carnal knowledge but I found that the best fitting tubes for adding length to the Epic CF-3's and 4's is going to your friendly carpet store. They have multiples of sizes of cardboard tubes from rolls that are sometimes 1/4" thickness and fit the thin stock plastic ports tight and snug. Did I mention they were free of charge? Once you get the desired length, just get a dollar can of black spray paint and you're done. So, now my 3's are re-braced, have new caps, resistors and 5.5" port tubes and, if I want to experiment with tuning, I can get more free of charge. I also have a port tuning generator from my car audio days that we used for tuning vented enclosures that will come in handy.

If I were closer, I'd come armed with router and bits, too. Always glad to help out.

I guess I didn't make my thread too exciting, huh? ;-)

Are those the ones like the CF's that have the notch for the adjusting nut for the spike?

Yeah, I hope he'll be able to bring them back in a couple of weeks. They'll be disassembled and braced, sanded down, and restrained something besides the messed up black satin finish.
