    Ok I know about that one, 

    if you like old power amps  , you should be looking at the BGW 750 series  or their more recent amps ,  the sonic and build quality of these amps is a lot higher than the DBX BX-1

    Thanks for tip.  I see where the K77M diaphragm is sold in pairs.  That will be easy and I feel better about replacing both.  Much cheaper than "upgrading".  Maybe I do that and then fix the one squawker if needed.  I have done very basic desolder and solder of connections in the past.  Its pretty ugly work but if a simple job that does not require finesse I can probably handle it.

     

    the aftermarket  K-77 diaphragms are pure trash ,  here is klipsch part # 127126  ,there are the quality diaphragms , dont touch the original K-77 diaphragm that's working properly  https://reconingspeakers.com/products-page/klipsch-k77f-127126-diaphragm/

      I'll probably make an offer based on buying two tweets and two mids. Didn't mean to break rules discussing aftermarket, but did not realize I had other options.   is replacing the tweeter diagphragm a challenge?  

     

    the klipsch tweeters a re available with a   kit that uses a  pre-soldered diaphragm ,roughly 10 minutes , no need to solder anything except removing 4 screws.

    -the mids dirver requires soldering  , but it's not hard to do for anyone handy with a soldering iron   .

     

    -the Lascala grilles are in great shape , these are Dealer add-ons , most likely stapled on the added wood  trim ,   very nice grilles ,  expensive fabric + very rare copper badges  is certainly better than none

    Simple question, has anyone measured, with REW, whether tail boards on the Klipschorns, with proper and tight corners, are constructive  

     enclosed backs alike the AK-6 /AK-5 are a plus structurally and sonically even if you have proper corners , since the khorn cabinet's backbone becomes stronger and stiffer by the addition of quite a few  braces to the sides and tail piece  , all of which are  then covered over with 3/4 inch panels resulting in improved bass response ,

    As title says, I'm in need of a DBX BX-1, single or a pair so I can bi Amp my CF-4s and Kappa 9s. I'm in the Florida panhandle in Navarre. If close enough I'll pickup or I'll pay shipping if your willing to box it correctly. Contact me here or e-mail at wildchild2002000@yahoo.com

  6. anytime peak season hits , backlogs are to be expected ,  klipsch implemented a ticket system  a while back that avoids being on hold on the phone  ,

     

    the customer fills the online support form , once the form is received by klipsch CS via email , the request are handled in the order they were received , and CS responds to the email once the person's turn comes around based on that list  ,

    I would not do business with any company that put me on hold for 118 minutes, 

    you'd better get used to it , cause that's the new reality across all North America   and with all industries  , forget the old days , the world has changed , back-orders , supply problems , staff shortages , cies simply cant  find workers to fill jobs

    What do people think about these amps?

    none of these amps rival The Yamaha A-S1200  since it is a proven HIFI amp for the Heresy IV ,with lots of forum members  currently using the amp  with fabulous results  on the Heresy-Forte and Cornwall IV  ,the Heresy IV requires a very low distortion amp ,  with higher damping factor and the highest quality components , the A-S 1200 is basically a vintage Japanese 70's amp with a superb preamp Made in 2024  with the latest parts available , it's on par with the Hegel amps worth 5k$ .
