Are there 2 types of metal horns for Heresy cabinets?
OO1 replied to regener8klipsch's topic in Klipsch Pro Audio
as a matter of fact - I always was told that the thicker ones were the best ones - we know hear of the contrary - thanks -
You would want to see a klipsch parts codification number - once you open the speaker and read the parts numbers -model etc - then you can call klipsch parts 800tel number -the guys there will quickly know if it is a counterfit as these guys are trained and know of all the frauds out there - but imho Klipsch has done wonders in protecting their brand from copies and fakes - your speaker has a serial number at the rear of the tag - that serial number can be verified in seconds by klipsch -

amazing for such an inexpensive apt 50 motor - versus Beyma cp21 - yoiu can buy 4 apt 80 tweeters for 115$ -
-
the jeep is the real winter car - these can go anywhere
-
the only way ro really be sure is to unscrew the bezel and remove the speakers - these should be tagged by klipsch to be original -

Used a poly brush for the clear coat (6 coats). not familiar with the spray on clear coat? I'll have to look into that. One day, there's not doubt I'll miss these guys... But getting married this summer and owning 5 some sets of speakers, and moving into a small 2 bedroom apartment, I gotta cut it down to 1! And I've decided to stick with my B&W 803N's... Plus down the road, I really wouldn't mind doing this again! Or even building from scratch. I had a lot of fun with this project, but for now, I'll let someone else enjoy them the spraying of the clear gives it a miror like glass finish -

yeah- I misread Colters remark (you can tell by the K79 tweeter horn)-
-
the k43 is a 4ohms woofer - never heard of a 16ohms k43 - do you have any pictures and did you take a DCR reading with an ohmmeter -
-
- there is no way that you were hitting that high of a level to damage hearing or you would be hurting and feeling pain - - lower than a movie cinema is not that high - -now take a rock show in the 115 - 120 range continuous or more ,for 2-3 hours straight - your ears will ring for a while - that means that your hearing has been affected - as a rule - if you feel discomfort - stop - if you dont - have fun and enjoy it - -
-
by the way - how did you apply the clear coat - did you use a paint brush or a spary - tx

the pictures that were shown are of a Patrician series 1-2-3-4 that all look alike - coffin style cab - mahogany finish -gold lettering Patrician logo -metal grille cloth - Pisces metalwork, grille - scratch out the 800 totally - this is not an 800 -A Patrician 800 did not exist in 1951, the cabinet is totally different looking and much wider by 1.5x the factor - the OP should give us more pictures to validate which series it is - as well , the OP mentions that one can inspect the speaker - can someone in Phoenix Arizona get in touch with the OP and do just that -

was the unit operational -what are the components inside it -are the Aristocrats - Shorthorns similar - how do they sound like -

-I would have thought that the KAPPA C was more like a k43 - less bass -as these need 4x more power -the k33 is a 100 watts woofer versus the Kappa C 's 400 plus - please can you give us your feedback -tx Check out this link: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/149442-lascala-sonic-detail-improvement-for-only-22098/?hl=%2Beminence+%2Bkappa its the thread that peaked my interest in pursuing this mod, theres a ton of technical info shared, as in a to Claude is the man that backs up his reports - I agree

I have a typewriter and I cant do it - the man calculates the strokes and translates them into a picture frame -like a dot matrix would do - pure mathematics -

with the difference that the KG didnt blow -

Gentlemen , I did appreciate the history that Andrea87 has shared with us as to the origin of the speaker and the family connection of a Lady who until 2 years ago was listening to her EV Patrician - she must have been a true musician at heart - - I can imagine the fond memories and would I had been the owner - I would have preferred to pass it on to my family as it is entirely plausible to restore it would any parts fail - -the tweeter diaphragm is available - so are spares -and all the rest of the parts - the crossover caps can be upgraded as well - a speaker such as this can be operative in a few hours or less -

Here is the EV Patrician IV manual - the Patrician series look alike the speaker we are looking at - the question that is yet to be answered by Andrea87 is whether this is a Patrician 1-2-3-4 - the OP mentionned that the speaker was installed around 1951 - 66 years ago , so , if the year is exact that should indicate a series 1 - www.electrovoice.com/downloadfile.php?i=971513

I see 30k plus shipping -that is why most of us have bowed out - a more realistic price may have gathered interest - this is a garage sale after all - less the garage price -

Andrea - Sellers that are looking for an item like yours will be notified when one goes up for sale. The top dollar buyers (and also scammers) will likely be out of country, which may complicate matters for you. Still, eBay will generate the largest possible exposure, which in turn should generate the largest possible profit. If you have a figure that you're willing to sell it for, maybe use that as the reserve. If you're patient, and want the maximum exposure, go for a much longer auction period. the sky is the limit for the right buyer - Agreed sky is the limit but OP did ask for information on pricing the OP really wants 30k - why not start at 30k - if it sells , we would all be very happy -

I second this remark as we all are looking at a speaker that was designed by EV with the original concept that was PWK 's genius - -it is a beautiful speaker - we wish you a good luck with your sale - possibly the EV forum can help in this regards -

from what you are saying - The CW II cabinets dont have the acoustic foam that came in the CW1 from the factory - hence , the MDF resonates as a consequence of this missing in the cabinet - do you know if that applies as well to the CW3 - I am surprised that the tests in the anechoic chamber at Klipsch in Hope Ark didnt show the issue of resonance -
