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.

Bottle and cork provide the "ambience" and allure to wine.
I was happy when synthetic corks showed up because you still got to remove a cork. But twist tops quickly won over those. Not cool at all for consumers. Processors like systems that preserve the quality..........the box could catch on and does make sense. I don't care for "draught" wine personally.
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.

This weekend my brother in law recommended that I start drinking a few glasses of red wine very night. I agree, I'm sure that it is good for you, if not just that it is good to be relaxed.
So I asked him, "Do you recommend something that comes in a box or in a can?" Sophisticated, I is!!
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?
-
can't wait to see your 30's going under the knife. I'm fine with my polys...
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.
-
Have you called Klipsch direct? I was missing an emblem on one of my CF-3's and they had them in the Hope plant.
-
The sn's are 3T751 and 752
You mean 151 and 152?
-
Yep. There's a jumper soldered in place.

After a couple hours work, my CF-3 crossovers are updated with Solen caps on the high frequency side and Dayton 5% poly caps on the low side. Also, Mills 12 watt 1% resistors replaced the original ones and the 1-ohm resistor across the HF circuit removed which, apparently, makes them closer to the version 1 crossovers. The speakers have been playing for awhile at low volume as not everyone likes it as loud as I do it seems. But my wife spent a week in the hospital and had surgery this past Monday so she's not quite ready for jam time. Next step will be to extend the ports and put some "Fat Mat" on the horns and woofer frame which will probably be as far as I care to go. As soon as my KLF-30's make it here from Austin, TX next month, the process will start over again but I'll most likely change out the Poly diaphragms out for the titanium versions.

You will probably have to use Google search and reference it to the forum. Trying to search for anything in most forums with a short name will give no results to speak of.

Man those look nice. GLWS!
68uf CAP options on CW2 crossover?

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.
