[KSW-15/Chorus II combo.]

Howdy.

Would A pair KSW-15 subwoofers be A good matchup

for A pair of Chorus II's?

Or would one be fine.

They seem to have the same max decibal rating.

(121db)1/8th space,(I think that means in a corner).

Like Bass.

Thanx! Mike Stehr.

[K-48 15' woofer: Tech Data?]

Hello.

does anyone know or have spec info on the

Klipsch K-48 15'' woofer?

I know they are 4 ohm.

Are these made by Electro-voice?

And if so, what would be the cross-reference model #?

Trying to hunt down info for these.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

THANX!

[autoformers for crossovers.]

Thanks for the reply.

I have browsed Al's site, He does use Excellent

Quality parts, His crossover's Have to make a

obvious difference over stock ones.

When I get a schematic if possible, I'll

more than likely leave the stock autoformers

in place when upgrading.

If it does not affect SS performance then it is no

big deal.

But it makes me wonder if a guy can make the

proper bandpass order network for the K-61-K mid-horn,

(Be what ever that would be) and pad down accordingly

using resistors.(Wire wound non-inductive type)?

But then again, there could be major importance

of the use of autoformers, I have no clue.

one of my crossovers have no mid circuit,

Which may be the autoformer, I'll have to check

for possible broken wire/connections.

I may have to source another autoformer.

What a mess.

THANX!

[autoformers for crossovers.]

Hello.

Are the tranformers used on klipsch speakers

used to attentuate the midrange horn with the

rest of the drivers?

I think I read this on a post here somewhere,

mentioning something around 6db's?

They also help amplifier impedence matching,

helping the amp ''see'' a higher load, right?

(Bear with me here, I'm new to Klipsch X-overs).

This makes good sense with valve gear to me,

But does it still make sense with SS gear,

which can work with lower impedences?

(Bear with me).

Would the Exotic brands of transformers such as

Jensen, Piltron, Sowter, etc.. properly matched

and implemented bring any sonic benefits over

the current autoformers used in these X-overs?

(Mine are T5A, for example).

Or would they have to be custom made to match?

Would anyone know what ohm rating/minimum impedence

is for the K-61-K mid-horn?

Is there any websites/pages for Klipsh crossover

design info other than digging through various Forums?

Is there white page archive material on this site?

(I did not notice anything).

I could go on and on....

Your reply's are most appreciated.

THANX! Mike Stehr

[Will klipsch let you obtain crossover schematics?]

Chorus II's in Question.

THANX!

[Chorus II's]

Hello again.

Thanks for the replys.

Will call Klipsh for replacement tweeter or tweeters.

These speakers seem to have mid and tweet horns that

are dated 1995.(Didn't check the woofers).

I did notice today, the the other side has a mid

that doesn't work.

Upon checking out, the mid works fine, but the

midrange circuit on the X-over does not.

I took the working tweeter from the speaker with

the bunk mid circuit in the X-over and installed it

it in the speaker with the fried tweeter.

It's crossover works with all three drivers.

So I could hear one the proper way.

Nice!

So I definitely have a crossover problem as well

as a blown tweeter.

These crossovers may could have been the reason why

the drivers have been replaced in 1995 or so.

or possibly, the last owner of these had a 440 watt yamaha poweramp, with a 35 watt pre-amp, a 30 band e.q, and a sony changer.

(this gear was piled up on the speakers when I bought

them at the thrift store on the airbase I work at).

The guy lost them due to W.A.F.

This 440 watt yamaha had to weigh as much as one of those chorus's, it was heavy.

I've come to the conclusion that this guy was probably

abusive to these speakers with this yamaha gear,

it could be why the drivers were replaced in '95 or so.

Has anyone done any crossover mods to the Chorus II's?

Anyone!?

At least the values to those inductors?

Help!

These are the first 'real' speakers I ever had.

I'm really like these things and can't wait to get

them both going and enjoy the music.

A good speaker deal can be a real pain in the butt

for a guy with limited cash.

I feel real fortunate.

THANX!

[Chorus II's]

Hello.

I just recently purchased a pair of 1989 Chorus II's

for $270 dollars.

Upon returning home, and hooking them up, after a

light clean up, one of them has a bunk tweeter.

(Figures).

Pulled the tweeter out, tried it straight off the

amp,(Thinking maybe X-over problems) nothin'.

Oddly, the horn has a 1995 sticker, with the

model #, (Which I forgot, And I put back in the

cabinet).

I did disassemble the tweeter and noticed no wire

breaks at the dome coil assembly, but the coil

didn't look too great.

Can a guy get replacement diaphram coils for the

tweeters for Chorus II's?

Crossovers:

A couple of questions here.

Why are their transformers in the X-over circuits?

What is their primary purpose?

These are T5a, 5 amp, I guess.

I noticed mine have a metal and a plastic covered

radial caps on the board,(Are these electrolytics? EEK)!

A couple of film caps, then a little iron core

inductor for the mid I guess, and a large inductor

with a big retangular iron core.

These speakers are screaming for a crossover upgrade!

Can anyone help me out?

These speakers serial #'s don't really match,

but the the two same people that inspected and tested them have their signatures on each cabinet.

Strange.

Other than that, I'm really starting to like

these speakers, they're black, great shape,

and make my sansui sp-x9's look like bookshelf speakers.

Can you source replacement tweeters or replacement

coils for these speakers?

Has anyone done any crossover mods to the

Chorus's?

Your reply's are greatly appreciated, for I

want to get these things dialed in and

going a.s.a.p.

Thank you very much,

Mike Stehr.
