    Interesting thread. I was just asking these same questions. From what I've gathered, they say the 19's  

      the Altec Model 19 cant be compared to a Lascala -Khorn or even a Cornwall , it was basically a large 70's studio monitor with veneer and grilles

    Here's the reply from Klipsch Product Support ...  Part number/description:  1000595 - KD-16 (M) (NO STOCK) ,

     " we no longer have stock of that item due to age of the product (as it has been discontinued and/or is no longer in production)  "

    .........................

    I think the KD-15-ST is an option to consider  , previous forum members were impressed with this newer drone 's sound ,  it fits tight , and minor adjustments are needed to make it perfect   with a dremel tool  , it's a tad larger on the outer rim but not by much.   the pictures are from a previous member's Chorus II installation of the Forte III drone .

  3.   it's OO1  , klipsch supplied capacitors  are recommended by klipsch ,  sold by klipsch , and used by klipsch in all their new speakers , klipsch make these products available to Forum members who wish to restore their crossovers at an affordable price .  

    .@JEM Performance    https://jemperformanceaudio.com/capacitor-kits  

     

    - klipsch capacitors restore the original klipsch sound in older crossovers without requiring to replace additional parts  regardless of whether the networks are 40-45-50 years old   .

  4. it's OO1  , some people think ( myth  ) that the older inductors , wiring  ,caps require replacement , while the Original klipsch 40 year old parts actually test better on specs versus new 3rd party parts that do not match klipsch specs  , the result is a speaker that no longer sounds like a klipsch speaker .

      We know the bass bin produces tremendous vibration. This in turn vibrates the upper bin and both horns in the Lascala. (And the side walls, etc.) 

    nope  , the AL-5 / LS II do not produce tremendous vibrations , and I will tell you why  ?   klipsch use anechoic chambers since 1980 to test their designs in order to route out issues such as vibrations  , 1 inch MDF is overkill  , the LS-II / AL-5 do not vibrate , they are over engineered  .
