  1. @jbohlscheid Yes you can brush on a thin layer of glue and apply pressure. Place some wax or parchment paper between the cone and the form fitting clamp, so the clamp doesn't stick to any glue.
  2. I can relate to that situation. Let us know when you eventually solve the puzzle.
  3. Glad to learn that everything is good with your speakers and they are playing music again.
  4. Any progress? My next question is not about the problem discussed in this thread, but when you replaced your AK-2 network with the aftermarket x-over network, how did you bypass the components inside the woofer chamber, between the binding posts and the woofer?
  5. I have some AA network Klipschorns with no fuses and I have some AK network Klipschorns with 4 amp woofer fuses. I am curious which K-horns came with 1.25 amp woofer fuses?
  6. Auto parts store should have suitable fuses. They don't need to be exact, considering that most loudspeakers don't even have fuses.
  7. Nice that you kept them all these years. I would loosen and re-tighten the screws holding the speaker wires to the crossover board. Also give the K-55-V midrange driver a gentle twist to make sure it is snug against the horn gasket. Then I would play some music sort of loud, as a test, to make sure everything sounds clear and trouble-free at normal volumes.
  8. No lawn grass at my place, so no riding mower, but I have trees that need trimming and I really like my cordless electric chainsaws.
  9. I still wonder if your complaint may be caused by the room acoustics. Is it possible to aim a speaker at an open doorway, turn up the music and listen from the other room, for comparison?
  10. Were you able to adjust the EQ and/or speaker placement to help your loudspeakers sound quality at your listening position?
  11. Yes, the Celestion could work well on your existing horn, but I wonder if your situation might be caused by room acoustics. You mentioned using a 7db shelf filter. Can you instead try a narrow PEQ filter?
  12. It is good for me to learn from your experience with that device. I can't find a schematic during a quick search, but I do see pictures of somebody's switch that has resistors inside the case. The switching devices with resistors appear to make for a safe design.
  13. A switch between your tube amp and the speakers is not recommended. An unintended momentary open circuit while powered is bad for tubes. Safer to buy a second pair of speakers, if you have the funds and the space.
  14. Good question, above. Klipsch announces the Sevens and Nines as Powered Speakers, not active speakers.
  15. Marantz AV8801 and MM7705 powering one pair of active bi-amped Klipschorns. Pioneer Elite SC-LX 901 powering the 5 KPT home theater passive biamped speakers.
  16. You will probably need to drill holes in the top of the La Scala cabinet and insert T-nuts from the inside, or use L-brackets that screw onto the backside of the La Scala and hold down the K-402 assembly. The La Scala will take up more floor space than your Klipschorn footprint.
  17. You might have heard the extended live version of In A Gadda Da Vida, and lost track of time!
