I am looking for fabric - any color - duracrest black or other for making a pair of Cornwall grilles - Ryanm84 , was very kind to make me a pair of Cornwall grille blanks - thanks -
-
I would have bought these - I have all the components - but pretty far from NY - SAD - VERY SAD -
-
thanks Morey - actually - I have 10 of the old APT 50 tweeters that I never used or even listened to - most have the apt 80 horn - I got these years ago when I read that they were a good replacement of the T35 - I also have T350's That are unused - - now if I could get the CT 125 horn - I could use these but Bob Crites does not sell these seperately-
-
can you be more specific - for the ones who have never heard a Chorus II - That is my case anyway - what does the Chorus II have above the CW or scala
-
120 - what car were you driving -that seems like it must have been a powerful machine -
-
It actually measured 11/16'ths. if I was building a pair of Cornwalls and wanted birch baltic - how many sheets would I need - of the 5x5 or the 4x8 and which is the best one to use in 3/4 inch or 1 inch -can I also glue 2 half inches of baltic birch to make a 1 inch thick panel or is 3/4 sufficient - sorry If I am confused - but my head is spinning reading all this infurmation -
-
great quality for sure
-
that should be covered by the warranty - being up north - let;s say I place an order and have it shipped from PE - It was 20 below last week - any duratech I would receive would be ruined - you would think that they would make a formula for colder climates -

Are there 2 types of metal horns for Heresy cabinets?
OO1 replied to regener8klipsch's topic in Klipsch Pro Audio
fantastic and very informative -
The problem is that most people will use titanium diaphragms with plastic horns , and they will sound very bright and even very harsh , on the other hand if used with a cast metal horn , they blend very well and are smoother -

the sound of the metal diaphragms is definitely different from the Phenolic and some prefer one over the other. I can say that in all the Klipsch which I have installed Titanium diaphragms I can play at much higher levels than I could with the Phenolic diaphragms but please note that all my compression drivers are modified. If you find yourself in the Phenolic camp the Crites CT125 is a superb sounding (tweeter) driver which is Phenolic. I like it every bit as much as the Titanium diaphragms. Further Bob's Phenolic mid diaphragm is to me superior sounding to the stock Klipsch mid range diaphragm. I hope this is of interest to those who enjoy the phenolic sound. Best regards Moray James. HI MOREY - I thought you would have liked to read this thread http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?10252-ElectroVoice-T35-anyone-familiar-with-them/page4 here is a thread about the T35 -k55 and the ct125 by http://www.audioheri...with-them/page4 08-19-2009, 06:40 PM #53 Maron Horonzakz Senior Member Join Date Jul 2003 Location missouri galaxy Posts 1,345 Widget,,When i was young and in my prime... And talking to Paul Klipsch,, The supply of T35 s coming from Electro voice,,, Each was measured for a match to a close tolerence for the Khorns in a stereo pair,,, 30 percent were returned to EV,,as not meeting pauls tests & requirements,, George ashworth,, The scientist helping paul in the early problems of woofer complience,, was trying to get Paul to find a different source of tweeters,,, Paul stated he was getting them so cheap it was worth his time to test them all and return the rest. Later Paul bought the dies and machinery from EV,, Later all this was moved to the Pacific Rim,, Phenaulic diaphrams/voice coils were manufactured with sloppy tolerence in thickness and weight.. Frequency responce was all over the place,,, I have here diaphrams (12) no two match... Over the last three years they have gotten better. I,m sure you found some good T35s,,So did I,, But Bob Crites found the Emmenence APT-50 to be a better tweeter,, and had a copy of the EV T35 tweeter horn made to integrate to the HF driver,,, and now,, the super tweeter is good to 20K.

Best regards Moray James. hi morey - your input as far as the CT 125 in that it is a quality tweeter is interesting as the Ct125 is the eminence apt 50 -30$ the diaphragms cost 15$ - so a relatively cheap Iitem like the selenium super tweeters - the beymas cp21 etc - they are mostly used in car audio but still , they are appreciated by klipsch fans who wish to replace the T35 -k77 which are obsolete - is it the horn design that Bob Crites makes with plastic that is the trick that improves the sound - tx

it you are right - the grilles are definitely a factory klipsch item -the lone laser logo is correct for the year 77 - and these Decorators dont have any logos under the grilles -plus there are no marks to show that there were any logos that were removed - -my understanding back then is that dealers could order the speakers as they wished to bring down the cost - a set of Decorators was maybe cheaper to purchase with a set of grilles than a set of Cornwalls with grilles - -remember the 70's and the high interest rates - every saving counted -we all know Klipsch was producing a high quality -for this point I have a set of Cornwalls I bought in 1980 that came with no logos on the grilles from the factory -why - was the dealer meant to install the logos and never did , was there a saving , or simply an error from the factory - Like you said -anything was possible back then

No that sounds horrible. I love the sound of stereo recordings when I select "Enhanced Stereo" which is my NAD T175HD pre/pro's implementation of "all channel stereo". The sound really envelopes the listener while maintaining spot on imaging with a huge soundstage. The NAD's version is leaps and bounds better than any other brands AllCh.St. that I have ever heard. Bill I started using my "enhanced stereo" setting on my Outlaw Audio preamp. I have Cornwall IIs front, Heresy rears, and Heresy center. I've never heard music sound better. As an example, I recently picked up the Genesis early years (Gabriel-era albums) vinyl box set. I sit in the sweet spot and listen to these albums and pick up nuances of the music I never heard before coming from the various speakers. Sound awesome in regular stereo through just the Cornwalls as well, but that much better from all the speakers. No that sounds horrible.

question 1) - from what I understand ,K79 -k75 does not fit a Heresy 1 -for the H3 - you swapped the tractrix horn in the H3 for a stock H2 k79 horn and it fits - -question 2) - are the magnets of the k79 and the K75 the same size -do they pass through the opening in the H3 motorboard or did you increase the size of the opening , do the magnets rub the MDF top panel in the H3 at all - -question 3) - does the k79-k75 magnet rub the H3 cabinet if used with a k792 tractrix horn - regards

I would again echo Colter's remarks as he is the Pro Klipsch Guru on this forum - the concept of a nightclub normally entails a professional assessment of a balanced , custom made setup in order to produce quality sound in an area not suited for good sound reproduction - I would suggest that you sent Colter a PM and elaborate your project as he may very well have the right answers for your project-

I tried to fit a K79 in a Heresy Cabinet to no avail - the driver would have to be lower in the cabinet to clear which would then interfere with the midrange horn and the woofer - that is why they use the K76 magnet instead which is much smaller - -the K76 has just the right clearance to avoid touching the upper panel of the Heresy cabinet -- if you notice the picture of the Heresy 3 cabinet - the K792 horn is almost flush with the MDF top panel while the K79 is at least 1/2 an inch higher -
