Wow, I have complete trust in you gentlemen, I know your pros. I can't thank you enough, thats what I want, great information, I will copy that statement and save until I can buy it. No more changes until I have the complete list. Can't wait to hear that system. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Soon find my components for sale on this forum in garage sale items.
- As far as the AK-5, no, not unless recommended, I want my next upgrade to be of high line components, seriously maybe a two way.
- Crossover Roadshow networks demo sound great.
- Dave's Fastrac horns and maybe the Eliptrac horns are certainly on my list.
- I just bought Crites CT125's, because I had a blown tweeter, so I upgraded.
- I had Crites freshen my AA's and test run them for me, cheap fix for now, but way better than what I had in my old 1975 Khorns.
Thanks fellows.

I want a 2 inch horn, but I do not really want to remove a top hat support leg like I've seen done, got any ideas gentlemen?

K401 v/s Traxtrix: Hey you guys are right, I just wanted to see what you guys may have to say about my statement that the K401 sounds as good as an expensive wood horn. You answered my curiosity, I need to go buy a nice wooden horn and part out my old Klipsch components. I guess the Khorn is a nice enclosure/starting point for a cabinet, I'll bet PWK is clawing to get out after that. Well, I guess I need to save alot of cash for the next upgrade, 2 inch throat wooden horns, good 2 inch driver, maybe a tweeter.

Thank you all for the insights, very good thoughts and info. I will be studying the document and apply necessary improvements.

John Warren at North Reading Engineering just told me to try something inexpensive to smoothe up the mids and highs on the Type AA Khorn.
- 100uF NP Electrolytic Capacitor bridged over woofer terminals on xover.
- 5.0 mH I-Core Inductor bridged over squawaker terminals on xover.
- 1.5 mH P-Core Inductor inserted in series between speaker supply positive input and the 2.5 mH woofer inductor.
I made a second board to mount the two inductors on as well as a terminal strip to make connections tidy. Turned out rather handsome. Also installed:
- New Klipsch K-401 moulded horns, very nice, no ringing, sounds like a high priced wood horn.
- New Bob Crites CT125 tweets, wow really sounds so nice.
Befor this repair violins and brass instruments made listening uncomfortable to say the least, I can hardly wait to crank these babies up!!!!
Thanks goes out to John Warren and Bob & Mike Crites.

Anyone ever had granite cut for finishing a corner to help a khorn? I think you still need the sealing strips of foam.

I am removing my original k400's to install the later k401's and I presume will be needing a mount gasket between the horns large end to grill frame, am I correct?? I heard/read somewhere that just a little dumdum goo/silly putty will work, any ideas?? Next year I will be installing the complete AK5 update(#1006969), at $752.00 per speaker. This includes a new AK5 crossover!!! BTW if you want to order just the crossover they will sell them for $398.00 per speaker. I can't help but think this should be one hell of a crossover, what do you think?

Need following parts from a late model pair of working Khorns:
1 Pair: K-77-D Tweeters: Need these.
1 Pair: K-55-X Midrange drivers: Need these.
1 Pair: K-401 Midrange horn: Bought it and have it now. -
Great story, better memories I'm sure. Thank you for the knowledge, I'll never forget that example.
-
I have the Khorn with Type AA networks, I read where these protection circuits compound distortion. I have K-77 round tweeter.
Is this true? Should I bypass them? What do you think?

Cool fits you and the place, you got balls, city boys are clueless.
Where you at, lets kill some animals, drink some brews and have some fun!!
Thief proofing veneer, great idea!

Looking for a good pair of Khorn grill frames, cloth not necessary, 401's would be nice as well.
-
If you like it, it's worth it! I am hoping to get there someday soon.
-
How do you like your Eliptracs and would you recommend the change?
-
Khorn's only please(350-400Hz). AP12-350 Low and AP15-6000 Hi or ES5800 Hi only.
-
Looking for ALK - Khorn networks : Universal, AP or ES. Also looking for a used pair of Fastracts, Vtracs, Eliptracs that are ready to just bolt in. I want to buy someones gently used stuff collecting dust.

Thanks again, the Yamaha R-S300 is brand new in box and a gift so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be a happy receiver of the receiver. However, the klipschorns piercing brightness is still the same as with my Nikko running them. For now I just trim them down a little, I can't wait for the new parts.
-
I have read others here say they like very much the Klipschorn A Type crossover modified at 4500hz. I have not been able to find any specific info or instructions on the actual change necessary to make it happen. Can anyone here help me. I currently have all original 1981 Klipschorns with AA-Type crossovers. I have owned them since then and never have abused them at all, nor even played them that much. Seriously I have even gone for more than a year at a time without even turning them on, no kidding! Recently I have been listening to my old LP's and have fallen in love with them for a second time. However, I do notice they are too bright, I mean so bright it was an instant piercing head ache, I even switched receivers by the purchase of a new Yamaha R-S300.
Please help me.

Hello to all;
Thank you, I have been a Klipsch Khorn and Heresy owner since 1980, I never really gave being an owner to them much thought. I do not hang around with the hi-fi crowd and do not have many visitors at my home, so I have just unconsciously lived with great sound most of my life while those around me remain clueless as to the awesome qualities in the room. Maybe though they are just so intimidated by them they are afraid to even want to talk about them, who knows; but I will say that the neighbors know I have something of an unusual nature going on around here sometimes. My favorite two movies to play with all the windows open are: "The ghost and the darkness," with wild lions roaring and horrid attacks on humans, based on fact. "The Edge," with a man eating angry Kodiak bear stalking, hunting and killing city people on location in Alaska, oh my god great stuff!!!!!!!! I love listening to all types of music out of Khorn's, BUT LIONS AND KHORN'S WERE MEANT FOR ONE-ANOTHER. People who have actually heard a lion roaring will tell you that if you are in an area when they let loose you can feel there vocal, the Khorn's will clearly make you understand the awesome power of the lion as well as the Khorn's themselves. When trying out a new system or any system I am a firm believer that one should put a few of mother natures awesome sounds to the test as well as various music. Good to be here, abby2011
John Warren updat to Type AA xovers is nice sounding!
