    NOS Klipsch K-33E Woofers?

    If you have a pair of Klipsch speakers that came with K33's they will sell you replacements. You just have to provide them the serial numbers.

     

    They're parts aren't that badly priced either... The last thing I had to buy was a replacement grill for my CWIII and it was only like $100-110 shipped?

    As "opus" stated, patience.  Please don't part out those beauties!!! 

     

    It was just a thought... 

     

    I've also considered throwing them back in storage and relisting in January/February, after the impending holidays?

     

    One way or the other, I know by Nov I won't have time to deal with the whole random prospect buyer thing.

    K107TI vs K77M

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted

    Ok, I ran through a couple quick tests... and I was quite surprised by how much quieter the K107 is compared to the K77?!

     

    Basically, without completely modifying the crossover this swap is not possible. Both the mid and low range filters in the B3 are tuned, even if only slightly to the output of the K77 (-3db) . Were I to convert over to a Chorus / CWII crossover I'm quiet positive everything would be hunky dory but I don't really think I feel like doing all of that right now...

     

    I will say that, from what little I did do, the frequency response on the K107 is significantly smoother and extended so it is likely that a completely new crossover (and this swap) will happen in the future. For now though, my Cornwalls are very fun to listen to just the way they are.

    the CW are great where they are now with k77's... why the change is the question?

     

    I'm not necessarily against the K77/T35 but I'm also not necessarily for it either...

     

    In absolutely every other application I've come across, I have preferred the Ti diaphragm material over the stock phenolic or poly. So, even though with this application we are just talking about a simple diaphragm swap, I figured I might just try this little switcheroo out? It also didn't hurt that I hard a pair of 107's just lying around and I am prone to doing stuff like this any way...

    In case anyone was curious how they look mounted...

    Obviously black on black isn't all that easy to photograph but hopefully it helps?

    And with any luck, some time in the next couple days, I'll have time to throw together a little daughter board and actually listen to them...

    I assume they are medium oak?

     

    I've actually always wondered what the difference was between the "light" and "medium" oak finishes was?

     

    I don't remember what the tag lists them as off the top of my head... but in person the finish looks just like the oak finish I had on my old KG's? I wouldn't call it a blonde finish so I'm guessing it's a medium?

     

    I was actually planning on taking some better pictures this last weekend but we had family over and I got stuck cleaning... I will see about accomplishing this within the next day or 2 though.

    Eventually I'll have to time to actually compare them myself but in the mean time I figured I would ask for others opinions...

     

     

    I currently have a pair of unmodified late Series I Cornwalls with B3's (K33/K57/K77) and I have a pair of K107TI's lying around. I once saw a guy who rear mounted a K107 in a Heresy with pretty decent results and was debating on trying the same thing? 

     

     

    What are your thoughts?

    Has anyone built a Cornwall clone without using expensive drivers and crossovers?

    I actually had enough spare parts lying around my house to build a pair of Cornwalls/Chorus and still ended up just buying a pair... time and resale value were the 2 biggest factors in my decision.

     

    I would also note that you really aren't going to save that much trying to go with "cheaper" parts... If you do go DIY just be patient and you can find almost everything for your project on this site or ebay.

    Front and rear panels have been removed, braced and resecured. I've also installed new feet, replaced the tweeter diaphragms, as well as rebuilt the crossover networks with new caps & coils. 

     

    I've owned them for about 3-5yrs but they've spent a good chunk of that time in storage with much of my other equipment. I would say they are in "Very Good" or better shape overall, having only a hand full of fairly minor cosmetic issues. Overall I think they are great performers, I just don't have the room to hold onto them.

     

    My house is a mess right now (under never ending construction) so they are currently set up in my garage. In my experience room and placement can have a significant affect on their sound, so please keep that in mind if you do come to check them out. I really wish I could display them properly for you but my garage is the best I can do for right now... 

     

     

    If you have any questions just ask and I will do my best.
