     . It's possible that during the time of the thread, they might have experienced temporary communication issues or challenges in responding promptly to inquiries.

    Klipsch had staff shortages during the beginning of the pandemic  , but this was pretty much the same in all industries , with the lock down , and people working from home  with less resources , but oddly at the same time as the outbreak and social distancing ,   Klipsch got a boost in sales with products selling out like hotcakes raising the amount of inquiries exponentially .

    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 .

  4.   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   .

  5. 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  .

    Would folks please give some very good reasons in favor of buying Klipsch Heresy's (as opposed to, say  C.... 

    FYI we do not discuss cloned speakers on the Forum ,  the klipsch Heresy 1 is a phenomenal speaker , but so is the Heresy III-IV
