  1. I made the trip and picked up a beautiful pair of 1 owner 1981 vintage khorns,They have the AA crossovers and I am thinking of getting the ALK Super AA mods to the crossovers.I am using a pair of his universal crossovers on a pair of walnut belles with fastrac DE-120 tweeters.I am going out of town and I will not be able to do anything until next week.Thanks for the info.
  2. I am going to pick up pair of khorns and I am trying to find size of khorns cabinets once speakers are separated in 2 pcs.I have a sienna mini van and will remove middle seats.
  3. Looking to buy pair of Khorns with AK-4 or AK-5 crossovers,could trade pair of Klipsch Belles walnut with ALK cornscalla/Unerversal crossovers with fastrac DE-120 tweeters.East coast or southern US.

  5. I am looking for a center channel for Klipsch Belles,I do not have room floor standing center speaker.
  6. I have had 2 positive transactions with John,he buys and resell all types of audio pcs and is trustworthy and I would gladly deal with again.
  7. My Belles have the AB crossovers,so I replaced them with ALK Corn Scalla Universal crossovers and I am very happy with the results,top end not as harsh and better detail.I also replaced tweeters with DE -120 with trachorn also from ALK.
  8. Did you receive your missing top section today.
  9. How did the speaker sound as a center channel.
  10. What a mess,did both speakers receive damage? The nightmare is not over you are still waiting on the top sections to be delivered,who know what they will look like,save all packing ,boxes etc... to show UPS rep when they come out to inspect damage.Good luck will you claim ,only health care claims are paid slower than shipping company claims.

    Klipsch Belles

    Pics of belles
  12. From the album: Klipsch Belles

    Finished with my Klipsch Belles,new ALK cornscala universal crossovers,replacing trim on tops ,new DE -120 tweeters from ALK.I am using the speakers with an Aloia 30 power amp with inductive power supply and the combo sounds great.
  13. Finally finished with my Klipsch Belles speakers,I bought them from the original owner and due to a couple of moves they needed a little TLC. These had the AB crossovers and 1 tweeter was not working,after doing some searching here and a couple of other sites I decided to replace the crossovers with ALK universal/cornscala crossovers and ALK tweeters with Eliptrac horn tweeters.While waiting for the crossovers I did a light sanding and refinish to cabinets and I also replaced the walnut trim along top front and sides,then added 12ga copper wires to all drivers.I had a small chip on back top right corner and I used some of the original trim from the pcs I removed from sides. I was able to get a close match to the grain and it turned out ok.I will try and post some pictures.
  14. Yes,I replaced all wires with 12 gauge wire solder to drivers and I will order spades that will work with new crossovers.
  15. Thanks to the members who gave advice with my questions,I have removed grills,side panels and middle and floor risers to be able to steel wool and use Howard's Restore- Finish to all cabinets,replaced trim that had pieces missing with walnut trim that and everything looks great,waiting on new crossovers from ALK.My speakers had the AB crossovers and was recommended that they be replaced,so I ordered a pair of ALK universal crossovers.I will try and post pictures when finish,crossovers are at least 4 weeks from delivery.Thanks again for everyone's help.
