  1. Mark, I have a sale pending and I am already thinking what am I doing.These crossovers are over the top build and sound great I am downsizing and figured the speakers would sell better with original crossovers and other parts..
  2. ALK-5800 & ES-400 crossovers, the 5800 was built by Al and the ES-400 were built by a Klipsch forum expert Mark1101 and he went all out with auricaps taking this great sounding crossovers to the next level. When I first put these in my Klipschorns I had to make a couple of adjustments to my liking, the bass is deep and the sound from the top hats is crystal clear without any edge or brightness.I am downsizing and I have put my Klipschorns up for sale locally and thought they would sell better without the upgrades.Al now charges 1800+ for his crossovers and they don’t have the auricaps.1000.00 plus shipping the 4 pieces are heavy and they will not be cheap to ship. I will be glad to email more pictures
  3. Is there a link to a website to find some information about these cables
  4. I have decided I am never going to sell my Klipschorns that I have modded with Volti horns,BMS mid, ALK crossovers and B&C tweeters so I am going to list these parts from my AK-4 Klipschorns. The AK-4 crossovers with monster cable wires klipsch k-55-m midranges klipsch k-77-m tweeters the Klipsch midrange horns the orange gaskets are missing. tophat grills and frames with Klipsch badge I am the second owner owner and I bought these from an estate that was listed on the forum a few years ago and they are from a pet free smoke free home. 1500.00 and must pick up in Sevierville,Tn . The crossovers are still in the cabinets and will be remove when buyer picks up. I have posted a picture of the back of the speakers to show the condition.If anybody ever wanted to upgrade their Klipschorns without breaking the bank here is the chance.
  5. I private message asking for pictures of the jubilees and I have not received a response .
  6. I had a dealer send me a power cord priority mail 1 day service,I told him why pay for 1 day service that the power cord was shipping from East Tennessee to East Tennessee 84 miles from my home.USPS took 6 days to deliver.
  7. Fido if you change tubes and get it right the first time let me know,I can’t leave well enough alone. I have he same amp as you and I have tried gold lion kt-66’s,factory el-34’s and gold lion kt-88’s and they all sound great in the amp. KT-66 tubes have a tad more bass with a smooth top end The bass on the factory tubes is not as deep as the kt-66 I settled on kt-88’s as to me they do everything right and when I listen with these tubes on my Klipschorns it like the artist is right in front of me. I swapped out the 12au7’s with different types of British tubes, ge 5 star and my dealer sent me 6 sylvania 6189 made in 1967 and after a couple of weeks of break in they are my favorites.15.00 a piece and they are giant killers.
  8. I am selling off some of my Emerald Physics speakers I bought during last year’s close out .I have made a deal on a large system and I am trying to clear out some room.All of mine are A stock none of the b/c stock .All of my speakers have the crossovers that allows you to be able to use them with one amp.I may be interested in trades but I would not want any speakers.I can email pictures if interested.Local pick up or meet if within driving distance.I am lucky enough to have room for 2 systems and I plan on always having a system with open baffle speakers.
  9. The amp was delivered today and one channel on source 1 was dead and the other sources had a bad hum that got louder as turn up the volume. I bought it off eBay and I am returning it,I was willing to send it to Raven for repairs but the seller wanted me to return it.
  10. I am waiting on delivery of a like new Raven Osprey mk3 Int amp,I have been reading great reviews and I am looking forward to hearing it on my Klipschorns and Emerald Physics open baffle speakers.
  11. What I have are a pair of Klipschorns that I have painstaking modded with no expense spared below is a list up upgrades Volti 2” horns ALK-5800/ES400 crossovers with ES400 audience caps upgrades built by well know Mark from the forum BMS-4592nd midranges DE-120-8 tweeters with fastrac horns I ordered current model Klipsch badges ( Lascala II type) Western Electric approved 14ga wires I have owned many pairs of Klipschorns and these are by far the best sounding Klipschorns I have ever owned. I bought these from the estate of the original owner that listed them here .and they are a solid 8.5 condition with only very lite marks on the top that you have to look at with a light to see. I will post a picture of the fronts and if anyone wants more pictures I can email them. The sound of these speakers are crystal clear and solid deep bass.Sound great with single end triode,push pull tube amps and dynamic and lifelike with solid state.Must pick up in Sevierville,Tennessee

  17. I had the pleasure to meet Bob and Teresa when I picked up his closed back Klipschorns both were very nice and even with his health issues he wanted to help with the loading of those very heavy speakers.He told me he was having trouble hearing and that is why he sold off all of his equipment, I still have a Yamaha PF-800 I bought from him and I play it everyday.Rest In Peace Bob and thoughts and prayers to Teresa
  18. Joe I am still playing with them and I plan on trying to dial them in today.
