I have a Yamaha receiver from that era, stereo only and similar power to the 570. It sounds excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to try it.

I have an R-115 and it's great sounding. As with the 117, it will probably need maintenance however. I had to replace the relays in mine. I'm a big vintage Sansui fan also, if you come across any of them. Good luck! Keep us updated

Wow yikes! Sorry, that's a cheap piezo tweeter where your stock driver should be. Can you contact the seller?

https://critesspeakers.com/k-55-replacement-the-new-a.html Very interesting! Anyone try the new version? No affiliation.

Wow that's impressive

Lucky new owner! Congrats

I'm sure there are plenty of people interested here! Good luck with your sale

Yes, a midrange control is nice too!

Nice! I look for bass, treble, and loudness functions on a preamp, which usually means more vintage type for me. I'd be interested to know how it sounds!

That looks interesting! I've never seen that one before. Are they getting good buzz?

Lol!

Yes, those are really nice sounding amps! Congrats

Congrats! Those look awesome. I like vintage Marantz too 👍. Honestly, I liked the AK2 crossovers that were in my '89. The original Monster cable in mine was all green, however. I replaced it all with Monoprice oxygen-free 12 gauge. https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=2747

Anybody else have any experience with these? Thanks

Maybe they don't look great, but they're good speakers and heavy cabinets. Cast frame drivers, Audax dome in the horn believe (its been a while since I used a pair)

There's a set of three locally for a grand. Look pretty cool! How do they fare for music with a sub? I am listening to KLF 30s with Crites Ti diaphragms. Thanks

I didn't think those would last long! 👏

I don't think the midranges on these ever had ferrofluid. I've never seen it in any Klipsch home midrange compression drivers. Tweeters yes, midrange no. Cool speakers! Sounds like a fun project.

Good luck with your search! I just hooked up my rebuilt 2230 with the KLF 30s, and wow, what a great sound. I think there is something to the retro cap-coupled amps and Klipsch/horn speakers.

You can find some really nice small tables, often with welded steel frames, at discount clothing stores like Marshall's or TJ Maxx. I bought a couple that work great for wider speakers like these.

Looks like they have the larger, rarer EV T-350 mounted vertically on the side of the the midrange horn. Those are pretty valuable, and sound excellent. Not sure if they have those horizontal K77 hooked up too? Lol lotta hf output there. Good luck, let us know more!

My T-5000s have ribbed cones, not smooth. Are you sure these aren't T-500? I checked mine when I recapped them. Billybob is correct. Maybe they used two different cones? Could be!

I have the 15 inch PA version, they are great! These have a much nicer cabinet too. Worth checking out!

As others have mentioned, it looks very fixable. Keep us updated! I enjoy my KLF 30s very much.

Off topic here, are these substantially better sounding compared to K33 for midrange? Is the bass that much different? My mid-80s home lascalas came with K43. I left them in there. I did pick up a pair of K33s from here, that I might try swapping in some day. I haven't been in a big hurry, there are sooo many screws on the bottom plates and it's generally a pain for me at least. Thanks, good luck to OP! Looks like he found what he needed. 👍
