OK I will post them later.

OK today I take this pair of pristine MTM's to the shop to check for ohms and frequency sweep before listing them and I can't get an ohm reading and the frequency generator barely makes a noise when hooked up. So I pull the back cover off and try the frequency sweep on just one disconnected tweeter and it will run you out of the room. Both behave this way so I am figuring there is a crossover routing problem and I would like to get input on how to trouble shoot this or even better yet a schematic.

I see you OD 🤣 Bookshelf speakers next to your MWM's?

Well I am back to square one. Marvels suggestion is 1.3" and the old klipsch are 1.875". Cliff products in England makes the old style Klipsch used from what I see as they are exact duplicates. However they want basically a $1,000 minimum order and FedEx is another $145.00 and they have dealers in the USA but none handle this. Guess they have no interest in USA sales. Almost all the corners and extrusions I get are beat up and I won't put them back on fixed and refinished cabinets. I would however like to put new back on if I could just find them. Small world as I am working on a set of 320's + 115's.

I guess I am a wimp since I like my Costa Rican coffee with a twist of milk. Helps me to remember where I was yesterday today and with no headache.

Really killed the sidewall resonance. I still have some weird things going on but when I run a DBX driverack eq with pink noise it goes away. I don't like the sound as it gets a little muddy but it tells me that I should be able to solve this with a DBX EQ thingy which can then be sold on with the LSI's. I guess these La Scalas are famous for a hump somewhere and I will have to look around for that info. This set has given me fits from self induce stupidity to frequency problems I am not used to having. At least I can see the way to solve it now.

I don't know what I was thinking the other day. I can send you my xdat file for the 402 and 1132. It might be Monday before I get to it but they are sounding pretty good right now so it should be a nice place to start. My bass bin data will however be useless. I am guessing the onln things of value will be the PEQ's for the 402-1132.

Here is the LSI set with braces and all that lovely Duratex.

That would be Rewyahreeng.

Emile what are you looking for? Are you serious about an MCM 1900 type setup? There is one here in Tennessee that has the 402 horns and four single MWM's all with individual crossovers in good shape.

Emile this is for the MTM only. The two are smaller than the box a Heresy would ship in. I am thinking about the price and really having trouble since this is of little use to most but extremely rare in this shape for those that can use it. $450 is what keeps coming to me though and just see what it does on EBay if not here.

I picked up a pair of MTM's for the MCM 1900 systems this week built in 1980 and I don't think it was ever hooked up. Belonged to an audiophile of some sort in Birmingham,AL and it is perfect. Not one scratch anywhere and it looks like it just came fresh out of a Klipsch shipping box. I know the piezos had a bad rep but these have not been used and if someone is doing a restoration should be in top shape. I will get pictures up later. This thing looks like it came out of a time capsule. While loading pictures I see that two of the Klipsch logos do have minor scratches but nothing else I can see.

I was thinking hard about this topic of rewiring this morning. It dawned on me that there should be headers based on regional dialect. For instance in Detroit it would be "Rewyering" and in the south it would be "Rewaaring". I wonder what it would be in say Missouri?

Don't forget hose pipe.

Ding Ding Ding Marvel wins the finders award!

I am having a tough time finding those plastic corners used on Klipsch Pro gear. The extruded pieces that run front to back. There is a company in England that has them but no one else I can find and they want gobs of money per meter with a 100 meter minimum and then Fedex charges on top of all that. Any suggestions?

8G wire short.

RT channel is two of them probably 25" long and sometimes they even loop over each other on the floor. The LT channel is maybe 15" and the surplus is coiled on the gear rack handle. The runs are suspended by gravity adjacent to my concrete floor where I don't care about electron puddling. I also let them get dirty and have been known to let carts roll across them. Is this enough information for you?

Say wasn't this thread supposed to go for 100 pages?

Single fold bass horns rule the audio world. You can get much deeper but you can't get better quality of sound.

Nah you need to buy a cnc milled foam thingy from me.

Like it says I have one of each and either need to sell them as center channels or find mates.

That's for sure. I have been following some threads at Audiogon and it is amazing the nonsense many of those guys who have never heard a good horn system have to say about things they apparently have not heard. Not saying the OP is guilty of that just observing the penchant to repeat things with no basis in reality until they become gospel for those who don't really have experience to know better. Some absurd things just have more lives than a cat. I think some of the Heritage speakers are very nice and for the most better than the competition at similar prices. For me though it is Klipsch pro that is the real stellar heaveyweight.

I can't believe you have black tweeters. I think I would drink by the glassful too if I did though.

It is and I wish they would stop.
