  1. RB-35s are one of the best buys Klipsch had other than the Heresy. They do kick ***.
  2. I dont believe it unless its double blind tested in the Himalayan mountains with 5000 dollar cables with virgins holding the power cords up off the floor....lol. HAAAAAAA
  3. Well we all could be wrong also.......but i could see the flat one when i looked into the horn so i figured it would be better NOT to stick into horn path. But why doesn't someone test it and see. I would bet its better not to stick into horn path. But much like Paul Thorns song.....''you could be wrong'' I could be wrong. lol
  4. I used an O-ring on my mid drivers. Seems to fit better the old type flat washer sticks out into sound path....cant be good.
  5. I put a seal on the back panel and also made a smaller second layer brace of plywood on panel on inside to strengthen it . It does vibrate in stock form. Loosen and retighten all connections on crossover.
  6. Crites will rebuild yours or make you brand new crossovers. Or you could go old school route and just make the plain type A crossover fewer parts. I have those in mine they came with AA in 1980. I like the type A because less is more rule. Easy to build and they both should have same one in them.
  7. I have found that pool noodles work better than pipe foam for sealing into corners. Pipe foam eventually compresses and leaves a gap. I also use the type A network with Bobs can type or parts express capacitors. You might look into the ones recommended by Klipsch from JEM also. Check all connections on crossover...make sure all are correct polarity also. Welcome to forum.
  8. Buy the AK-6 and run home with them. I have heard both and make sure you still seal them into the corners no matter what some people say. Dont do what youtuber audio police did he is and idiot. He still has his in a bad set up and still complaining. You just cant fix stupid huh???
  9. I have tested those CAN type caps. before with my cheap meter. The UF were off on all of them. If the UF is off the sound will be off ,,,right???
  10. I used woodworker supply.......They have the regular contact cement kind and also the iron on type. I have used both and both work good. Im buying hickory veneer from amazon currently for my kitchen cabs. im veneering. To trim excess i have found that using razor blade knife and scoring it from back side works best. Sometimes if you try to cut it it follows the grain and takes to much off. Get a package of those wooden skewers from grocery store to lay down. So you can lay the veneer on them and pull one out at time to use roller to press veneer down.
  11. Something is wrong....phase.....woofer....room.....amp. I would get a 70s reciever and hook up see if it is still the same.
  12. I dont think they were stained. Looks factory stain just like mine did. I would just put some screws in the side panels and counter sink them then veneer them. That will stop the flex of the side panels I know cause I did it.
  13. The only thing is the port in the back so need to have breathing room. Contrary to putting into corners as Paul would say I guess. I got series 1 and they sound awesome cant imagine them being better but I would hope they are. I just cant get past the price though...lol Welcome though glad you got some.

    Welcome.....what you got in your system?
  15. If those were close they would be mine......Always wanted a pair of these or the same ones with the metal corners.
  16. That slot looks to big to me and you dont have to worry about the woofer hitting the panel. I made a plexiglass cover for my K Horns to show someone that the woofer hardly moves. Even at pretty loud volumes it was moving maybe 1/8 of an inch...lol In fact the plexiglass Khorn in hope has little ruler mounted on it just to show that very thing.
  17. You should contact Andy he has built many of these.. I also dont agree with bracing since when i put screws and veneer on the side of mine you cant budge the side panels at all. Before i did that i could flex them easily. You might be to far along to contact Andy now. I cant believe he didn't chime in here and give you some tips. He can probably build LaScalas with out plans at all...lol.
  18. I think the K77 will not go that low, You will have to get the tweeter from Bob.
  19. You can get that transformer from Bob. Autotransformers | Critesspeakers.com
  20. I think we all have had something like this happen to us. Kudos to JIM. Several members have helped me out over the years. Stuff happens and just be up front and I think most will understand. To bad you didnt get your old ones back or did you???
  21. I would also put seal on the back panel also check the washer on mid driver. Can get those from Crites. If you want to get Lambs wool for the grills you can get that here. Wichelt 18 Count Lambswool Linen Fabric 27x36 - 123Stitch
  22. You can get new capacitors from BOB Crites or JEM i think here. I think JEM are Klipsch certified but a little high priced for me. Check all crossover screws loosen and retighten them. I would put a foam seal on the back panel to seal them better. I used O ring on my mid driver instead of that flat washer. 1 x 1 1/4 x 1/8. Most likely those capacitors are way off spec.
