I'm looking for a AA crossovers and ALK crossover second hand. ------------------ Duval

Are you selling a pair of crossovers AA? I'm looking for! Best wishes quote: Originally posted by Q-Man: If anyone wants to buy a pair of stock AA networks, let me know. I'm sure we can work something out. Q. ------------------ Duval

Hello. I'm interesting by your crossovers. Pascal Hello quote: Originally posted by ChemPharma: Hello, I have some LaScala'a 17S801 and 17S802 serial numbers(Late 70's Models)and am selling the AA crossovers. They are in very good shape, electrically and cosmetically. I just installed the ALK engineering units (ser. no 81a and 81b. My cabinets were to stock for my tastes and I had them customized by a furniture maker and trimmed out in birch with a perfectly beveled top (around the top trim edge) to fit and allow a 1/4 " thick piece of glass fit flush at the top just inside the birch trim beveled edge. I can only get the thick glass out when I turn the speakers over. Anyway they look as part of the speaker cabinet. This allows me to put lamps,special plants, or whatever I want on the top of them. Anyway, the are one-of-a-kind and beautiful. I bought a pair of the ALK crossovers and WOW! I love the way they sound, which is simply better (period)I changed the stock squawker transformer setting of 5,2 to 3,0 to suit my taste. I drive the speakers with a pure class A circuitry Nelson Pass 50 wattt/channel amp, which I'm sure helps. But I am very happy with Al's efforts, speaking as a scientist(chemist/chemeng)myself. I never knew electrons could sound so good. ------------------ Duval

I purchased a pair of tweeters T35 Alnico and a crossover type AA (not the AA II) for my Klipschorns. I lived in France near Paris. Thanks. Pascal ------------------ Duval

I need the tweeters in Alnico because the K 77M ceramic are ringing when I play the music loud. Anywhere thanks for your précisions. Best Wishes Pascal ------------------ Duval

Hello! I'm looking for a pair of old Klipschorns, models built before 1983 or 1981.(AA or AA II crossovers, T35 or K77M tweeters, K 55V mid range drivers...). I'm living in France, near Paris.Thanks ------------------ Duval

OK and thanks you. Your information's are very precious for me. So, now I'm looking for a pair of old ones. But in Europe (I lived in France, near Paris) it's very difficult to find!!! By the past I have been in possession of Klipschorns made in 1981, I liked their sound but I finded them few imperfections. Notably in the high frequencies, the K77 could be aggressive and the bass was not too articulate and goes no deeper. Actually I've an old pair of JBL Olympus (after the Voice Of Theater with multicellular horns, and monitoring speakers like JBL 4343), The S8 R with the enormous 2 inches midrange drivers 275, it's very good with Dynaco MKIII or Mc Intosh 2205, but I don't rediscover the Klipsch's magical sound! And have you listening the very last versions, made after 1983? And thanks you one more time. quote: Originally posted by edwardre: Yes Duval, I have listened to both. As close to 'side by side' as it gets for cornerhorns. Had stock '77's at one time in the corners and pre '55's sealed up with 3/4 ply next to. To me, the difference was striking. Both sound tremendous. However, the older ones IMO sound more natural and spacious. The bass is 'better' (as a matter of personal preference) in the older pair. Goes deeper and punches out with far more authority. Chest rumbling bass as opposed to just damn fine bass. The older pair has chest and jaw exciting bass even at low listening volumes, while the newer pair loses this effect as you turn the volume down. The pre '55's came with the Stephens Trusonic 103LX2's for the bass engine. 15" and weighing in at over 25lbs this driver is considered by many as the finest bass driver the Klipsch factory ever mounted in it's folded horn. Exceptionally efficient. We all know of the K-33 bass horn the '77's were equipped with. Fairly efficient, under 10lbs with a short throw which produces a very consistant 'Klipsch bass' sound. I prefer the midrange of the older ones. It is sweet and dispersive. The fiberglass/wood sectoral type horn of the older ones creates a very wide soundstage and all but eliminates the 'sweet spot' that the straight horns are (in)famous for. Mine have the University SAHF midrange driver. This is a very utilitarian driver. Practically indestructable. I've seen these with 2 inch dents in them sound as sweet as a NOS. This driver has a very natural sound that compliments the woofer and tweeter perfectly. I believe that the '77's had the K55V. The ones with the push connectors. This driver is hearty as well. It's shortfalls are well documented on this board. The tweeter in the old Khorns is the 'sleeper' component. It is the University 4401 Mid-T. As with all the components of this era, I believe that this tweeter was selected to represent Klipsch because of it's natural sound and it's seamless coexistance with the bass and midrange. Absolutely no harsh shrillness. Zero. Side by side with the '77's, I would have to say that this single component is easily identified as responsible for the greatest difference in sound. To my ears, the K-77 has a 'ringing' quality that can be very fatigueing to me. Network wise, the '77's had the AA's. The AA's strengths and weakness' are also well documented on this board. The older Khorns have the K-500-5000. With crossover points at 500 and 5Khz, this is a fairly robust unit. Over two feet long and 6 inches wide, it sports 3 inch hand wound chokes and large oil filled caps. Again, and much like the 'B' network of the CW's, this is a basic, natural and warm sounding network. Hope I haven't rambled on too much for you! ------------------ Duval

I'm looking for guys who have listening old and recent Klipschorns so that they give me their opinion. Best midrange, bass register etc. Thanks. ------------------ Duval
