  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
