The added bonus to 1981 is that you should have soldered lug K-55-V drivers which are the best of all the K-55's Klipsch used.

Scotchrite ? LOL. never heard of that. "scotchbrite" was a early morning typo/brainfart. i will go ahead & edit the post for you though, just like you do to some many of yours...
It would be nice if there was a time limit on edits here and people had to live with what they posted. Make a second post perhaps to clarify or correct but the original post would stay after perhaps a 10 minute window of opportunity to correct for bad grammar and spelling.

I was going to say visqueen and a staple gun, but okay.
But stainless steel staples only, right?

Scotchgard ........easy enough
So I see you went back and removed your reference to the Parts Express water proofing compound. Why did you do this? I came here to mention that it looked somewhat interesting and POOF it was gone.

im sure scotch guard would work too, but the stuff i have always used is just shoe/leather/fabric water protector. i bought a bottle from foot locker that was $5 years ago when i bought a new pair of shoes but i have used other brands like this one as well on a leather coat & suede type hiking boots.

I think I will trust the company that makes many of the woofers for Klipsch. Other things might work but why risk it?

Courtesy of Bill Hendrix, he reminded me that Eminence recommends Scotchgard for this purpose.

HA HA you are right! Respond first and check date later I guess.

I have a Xilica 3060 on my main system and Win 10 works just fine with it as does my Furman power conditioner. You do not need a stand alone power conditioner just for the Xilica. I feed my two amps and the Xilica from the Furman and my setup is dead quiet. I am at the end of a rural electrical co-op's service and everything that effects the power I see and so far no problems.
Westcoast gave you good advice on hooking it up. Ask around for someone who is close to you with a Xilica who may be willing to come over and walk you through it. It has been a few years since I set mine up but help from another forum member solved my woes.

I see you went back and edited your reply. Did you happen to have that price list or quote you reference? I might be interested in getting a set next time around and you could save me some time here by not waiting on email support.

Do you have an official quote you can show on this? I would like to see proof of your claim. Now IF you are right that is a good deal.

peaker as I'd like to try them out as PA speakers although I've become pretty protective of them and am not sure I'd want to unleash the fury of a beer fueled crowd on these babies
As long as you have good grilles and keep the drunken hands OFF your amp you should be OK. Now if the DJ gets drunk and lets the crowd talk him into louder and louder he will get what he deserves.

Like the title says does anyone have experience doing this in a way that will not change the parameters of the speaker?

Always take a bunch of stickers to replenish those removed like on that pump. The paper ones are best and hard to get completely removed as you can see here.

I'm not a genius but I think the complaint is less than 2 years ago it was 1/3 the price in some places and at least 1/2 everywhere.
Precisely right and completely unnecessary on top of that.

But unlike old cars the market niche specifically for vintage klipsch is very tiny.
You can not have supply and demand without the 'demand' part...
Well I don't know the niche size but I do know prices have gone through the roof on Klipsch this past couple of years which tells me that there is more demand then there are parts to feed demand.

You can say that again! I try to pick up “odd” klipsch stuff whenever I find it, whether I need it or not. It all comes around sometime
I bought a pristine set of piezo MCM-1900 tweets a few years back just because they were there with other gear I was getting. They went to a guy from Dallas who was putting together a set and that was all he lacked. I get things like that because I want those Klipsch sets restored and put to good use by somebody.

I can't say that the people that visit me don't know things, they do. Newbies are not the people who come to see and hear at my place. I never pester the people who made claims about things that would improve my setup asking where is your proof in hand on this trip. I don't KNOW why they don't bring their gizmo's and have my suspicions as to why.
I enjoy having people stop in and encourage visits and if they want to bring their toys badly enough to show up with them I would make the time to fiddle with them. I don't turn away new things to hear I just don't expect anything of real merit to justify expense any more.

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said you don't have a great system or that you don't care how things sound.
As a matter of fact, impressive systems like yours are exactly the candidates for better front end components, tweaks, and cables. A good system can sound good with zip cord. Attention to detail will make it sound even better. Some people don't care about incremental improvements and that may be you. I don't know.
I guess I am in the position where what I have is good enough that I no longer seek improvement at my expense. I have had people here who tell me various things would sound better then what I have and I always invite them to bring those things on their next visit. For some reason they never do.

and "cryo'ed breakers. Cryo'ed seemed to make a more relaxed presentation of the music. "
Why hasn't the Forum pointed all this out to me?

Have you used the green felt pen on the edges of your CDs? And those little dots that you stick on your components to make them sound better? Can you still get those? Oh, and who could forget the Clever Little Clock? You could call up and have the spell sent to your system over the phone line. That had to be one of the best.
Tweaks like that can be described in one of two ways, depending on how you pay for them: plastic squeezers or wallet lighteners, with little or no audible change, never mind improvement, in your system. Call me a skeptic.
Yes that guy was so bad even Audiogon finally ran him off. MachinaDynamica.com for those of you wondering about telepathic tweaks.

I never felt any desire to go above around 80 watts on my amps with my MCM-1900's and at that point they were to loud for more then short time frames. The Super MWM's less then that.
