[F/S MWM DIY bins $400 for 4]

Kg4guy has the MWM build thread for these bins on the forum, if I could only find it. 

[Horn to pair with K55s]

Looks like I will need the Binford 6 inch driver when its all said and done. 

[8 ohm mid driver on A type crossover]

Take a look at the PRV Audio D3220Ph or the PRV Audio D4260Ph.  The look to fit your needs.

[Horn to pair with K55s]

I did try a 2 inch driver, and I did like it very much...not going back. 

[How to recone a K-33 woofer]

The speaker cone has 3 small sags about halfway up from the voice coil cover in the same horizontal plane.  It looks like the driver cone got wet or was in a very humid area while being played. It almost looks like the paper tried to fold up on itself. Tried to take a photo but the photo did not show what I am trying to describe.   

[Newbie looking to upgrade crossovers on my Reference RF-3 ii]

Contrary to what some say, especially around here -- soldering is not "easy". Even some of my joints are suspect from time to time, and I have to struggle with redoing the joint or moving on. I know it's not a cold or dry joint, but it just doesn't look right. So I'm tempted to redo it, which is a pain.

  

[How to recone a K-33 woofer]

After discussion with some of the "old hands", Trey has indicated the recone kits I received will not work with the 1976 high basket, large square magnet K33.  The kits I received are for current production round magnet K-33-E.    

 

Any ideas as to a product to apply to stiffen the soft sagging paper cone?

 

Or just get new drivers?

[OMG..OMFG....Khorns obtained!]

Very nice.  Enjoy.

[Drivers for sale]

The 2404H is (was) a good, high output tweeter but there are better units available today.

   John, what tweeters would you consider better?  

[Who's selling Klipschorns local to NJ?]

Agreed.  I have driven no less than10 hours round trip to get the Klipsch speakers sets I own, but then again I do not have as many sets as Earl. 

[Test Driving Used Khorns....What to do?]

After your listening tests, take a screwdriver and an ohmmeter, remove both leads for each speaker connected at the crossover and take a resistance measurement. Put the leads back.  Measure both tweeters, both squawkers and both woofers.  Write the resistance readings down for each set and compare.  The resistance readings for each pair of drivers should close within 1 ohm or so, if not most likely a replacement speaker was used.  Opening the doghouse should be only done if there is an issue with the woofers.  Depending on the vintage, removing the doghouse door can get tricky and messy depending on the type of material used on the door seal.

Can you say Klipschaholic.

Gil,

 

Here you go http://www.audiotubes.com/mullcode.htm.

[How to recone a K-33 woofer]

Agree with all you have mentioned. Thanks. I am waiting to hear back from Trey on the basket height difference, then to work. 

[Vintage Tube gear, Horns]

That would make a great home theater setup.  

[Acid Etched Codes on Mullard Tubes]

Gil,  I was on a website that gave information on the etchings but at the moment I can't remember which site.  If I come across it I will post the link on this thread.  

[Original EV Brand K-77 diaphrams]

duder, thanks for taking the time to inquire. There is no harm in asking. 

[How to recone a K-33 woofer]

A few others,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[How to recone a K-33 woofer]

OK, it took me awhile to get the photos loaded but here they are;

 

 

 

 

The surround is cloth without any of the butyl coating and there are eyelets in the cone which I believe the voice coil leads get threaded through to the terminals.  When I received the parts the cones very dusty, as if they had set around for some time. 

[Woodworker question (router & table)]

I would recommend a shaper and a plunge router.  The shaper is much easier to work with and more stable than a router mounted in a table.  Look at Grizzly Industrial to get an idea.  Of course gothoovers computer controlled router would be a dream. 

[How to recone a K-33 woofer]

MikeRam,

 

The Klipsch part number sent to me was 151162.  However I have a pair of the older high basket K33 and this kit may not fit. I am working with CS to make that determination. The paper cone in this kit is very thin and light with no butyl on folds of the surround. 

[Room Modes Calculator]

Red and Pink are bad, Greens are OK, Yellow is simply in the middle. edit: I will add that white is no mode at that frequency. See piano keyboard to the right...

 

I was joking, this program has shown my room to be good and I am very surprised. 

[Room Modes Calculator]

If the green is ok, then I something isn't right, because my listening room is all green but 23.3 and 62.6 hz which is yellow.  I am never in the green.
