Crite's page says he hopes people will order them as an add on and I won't be ordering anything else at the moment. Does anybody have extras laying around?
If not and they are just rubber.. how thick are they and what is the ID and OD. I could likely just make a pair.
Thanks,
Brad
How many do you need? 2?
What's your address, I have a couple extra I bought from Mr. Crites.

Go to Sams CLUB and ask for the produce boxes, watermelon, potatoe, they have great boxes, triple play cardboard. Be nice and it could be free to you

There are Parasound amps in their place. Just waiting to see if I can find a 5125 to replace the UPA-5.

Where did you locate the Parasounds? And did you get the Belles in the same deal?

Gen II trimmed amp is sold, so the one with the paint trim is all that's left. $600 local pickup, $700 shipped.

Can also order the forte3 passives from klipsch, they say they are functionally ok but they are cosmetically different. Probably cheaper to recone them or if the damage/tear isnt too bad you can repair them using some elmers type glue & thin paper like cig rolling paper, do a search on here for pasive repair, lots of threads about how to do it.
IDK if it was Simply Speakers or the Speaker Exchange, they're both around Tampa, I had a 15 passive reconed and it was $75 round trip to Chicago. One of the two companies wasn't taking any more work on so they were referring customers to their competition down the street.

Thank you

Please contact the OP first.
Not trying to thread jack, just to consolidate requests.
For both of us, is it better to repair or replace the passive radiator? If repair, please point us to a good parts source.
Thanks,
James
I may be parting out a pair of Forte 2 that I have listed in the garage sale. I should know by the weekend

Up for your consideration is a pair of walnut oil 1992 Klipsch Forte II in very good condition. The previous owner updated the tweeters with Crites Ti and built bases to bring the horn up to ear level when sitting. Original bases are also included. Previous owner added grills from Parts Express, the burnt orange actually looks good! Consecutive serial numbers, these could use a good cleaning and oiling, I don't have the time and don't need another pair. Everything works as it should, they need to go to a good home. Located about an hour north of Chicago

Has anyone had any experience with the new S1 buds? They're cheaper at $119 but do they have as many issues as the T5?

Exactly! Now it's going to get interesting, it seems [Moderator Edit, sorry but that one was way, way over, even though true]

"It's hard to pinpoint how many of us are clueless and careless -- maybe half of those who go outside? A third? Some other fraction? -- but it's certainly way too many.
The lack of empathy is jarring. We need a shift.
We need our leaders -- all of them -- to get the message out loud and clear. If you are away from the closed system of your home, the message should say, you must wear a mask. That means, too, employers mandating that workers of all kinds mask up. Do they want the disease spread to subside; do they want business and the economy to eventually come back -- or don't they?" cont...
A leader leads by example, tell the prez to put a mask on instead of shooting up.

The same guy who said no masks were needed.
W+T
Are you referring to the doctor or the man who thinks we should all be shooting up with disinfectant?
The nation's foremost infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said in an interview with CNN on Monday that the decision to reopen states across the country amounted to balancing “how many deaths and how much suffering are you willing to accept to get back to what you want to be, some form of normality, sooner rather than later."'
I think the doctor might be a little more qualified but that would depend on who you ask

Yo! Zeus/Mark there is such a thing as too much corporate greed. You are such a fan boy apparently nothing is too much greed for you. There is a continuum of profit taking. Of course the company needs to make profit to take care of its stakeholders because we want them to continue in business and provide a fair return for investors. I’m flat out saying they charge too much for La Scala AL5s. When the piece parts cost you less than $1000 or two there is no need to charge $12,000. At some point the profit is no longer fair or reasonable. Why not charge $15,000 or $20,0000 for them? Apparently there is no number too high for you to consider obscene. Do you get it now?
Nope

I thought I was clear... I want these speakers. But, I feel Klipsch could have friendlier prices for them. I have no issue with Crutchfield. They are required to sell them at the universal pricing. Crutchfield was great.
Yes you made yourself clear. You have your hand out looking for IDK what, go start a GoFundMe page to help offset the cost of your beautiful LaScalas And the president answered, did you get you stimulus check?

Yes. I just needed to vent. It would be “nice” if Klipsch was more “friendly” with their pricing. I am loving my speakers. They are awesome. I plan to have them forever. Just would have been nice to have such awesomeness for let’s say $8,000 or $9,000?
I would like a Diablo for $40K too but I don't think Lamborghini is going to do that for me. They are in business to make money, if you don't like the price don't buy new. You could of had my pair of 2007 AK-5 Khorns for $4100, I sold them a couple months ago. You could just say you're too lazy to shop for anything and hit the BIN button. That's how companies make more money, people hit the BIN button and then realize they could have realized a better price with patience and a little footwork

Yes I am a stupid loyal Klipsch customer. I am pointing the finger at myself. Buyer beware. Klipsch will rake you over the coals and extract maximum dollars from you if you want their high end. Klipsch deserves not to be called out for this. They could give a crap. It all on me.
Being a loyal Klipsch customer can you please give us a partial list of their gear you've owned? Or even listened to? How long have you been a loyal customer? If you look at the gear a lot of these people have, you need to be pretty large to say you're a loyal customer.

No,I couldn't possibly say that.
It wouldn't be fair to group all AL-5 buyers as idiots, only the ones who buy them and then immediately b+tch about the price. This is probably not the place to piss and moan over your purchase, sympathy is pretty thin here.

Well why are new La Scala IIs $7000. Are the AL5s really a $5000 upgrade?
If you did an A/B comparison BEFORE you bought them you could tell us. It sounds like you went in wanting the latest and greatest and they probably are. I looked at the video of you ordering and I didn't see anyone holding a gun to your head

Hoping someone jumps in here and says that was a political post and I'm close to being banned.....
I just had a friend get a 30 day timeout on FB, I'm sure with the proper language you too can take some more time off too. Looks like you could use a little time off, maybe the gnats will go away. 🙄🙄🙄
