Word was you were in town visiting you daughter any way. All the cash was gravy. And you stole a license plate off our parking lot while there too.
I thinks @Shaun K ended up with those Chorus.
Yup, still have them here. Not currently in use, been thinking of selling them...but I just picked up a nice Denon amp so I want to hear them again before I make any rash decisions

Yes sir, on a daily basis!
Jubes in Rockford, I'd love to hear them some day! (I'm in St. Michael)

Glad to see those Heresies are still getting put to good use! I sold the original cabs earlier this year, I wonder if the guy did anything with them.

Can anyone tell me what type of thread is needed for the feet of CF4's? Mine came with no feet, just the inserts to thread feet or spikes into.
Thanks in advance.
The spikes on my CF-3's are 1/4-20, verified with a thread checker
I've also used these on some CF-2's since I bought the speakers without any spikes: https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-DSS3-SN-Satin-Nickel-Spike-Set-4-Pcs.-240-678

Just in case anyone is looking for some Epics locally. I already have 3 pair and I like living at home, so I'll be passing on these.

Not surprised really...but I still wonder who the other Klipsch fan is, living in such a small town

I love the feet, I may need to do the same thing since a few have "walked off" my CF's

Haven't heard to much on the rebuild of these. I know Bob has a replacement set.
If I remember correctly, these are stack built on the input cup. I am not sure how easy this is to recap or if replace is a better option.
Call Bob, he can steer you in the right direction.
Dean is not currently making cross overs, I think. You can check with him too.
Good luck
I'll call Bob, but last time he yelled at me so I'll tread lightly :). I thought I saw Dean posting recently, so I'll at least ask him if he's available before I make a decision.

What are these DaveA tweeters you speak of?

Glad you still have them. I knew you had gone the CF3 & 4 route and was afraid these would have to move on again. Hope they work out in your office. I would definitely do a cross over refresh first and go from there. It is time.They aren't any fun to get out of that cabinet though. Good luck.
I've been lucky enough to keep them around, even after picking up many more speakers since then. Time to start shopping for crossovers I think. What my options these days? Crites, Deang, and DIY I guess?

Oh, this I didn't know about. You sold them once after they were rebuilt, and then I was the second buyer?

Are those the ones @Shaun K has now? If so, I saw them when I bought my Heresys from him. Didn't get a chance to listen to them but they sure looked nice.
Yep, that was me...as evidenced here:
I've never put them up for sale though, they're still here in my basement waiting to go into my office once the construction is done. I think they need a crossover refresh and maybe some new diaphragms, because (and don't hate me) I've never liked the way they sound. I've tried all kinds of amps but they haven't measured up to my CF-3's and CF-4's. I'm not giving up though, they look amazing thanks to the work that you and MookieStl put into them. The build for them is documented here, if anyone is interested:

Just came across this review from 1995.
https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Archive-Audio/90s/Audio-1995-07.pdf
New to CF3 ownership and the hobby in general but thought the impedance curve was interesting. If I'm understanding this correctly this means the amplifier needs to be able to handle loads as low as 2.9 ohms for short periods of time?
Thus far on my old Optonica SA5405 amplifier (65w /channel) I've hit the protection circuit twice, while at high volume (12 o clock on the volume knob, but I could tell it was at max power - speakers were not distorting) and when the bass was heavy. Perhaps the old amplifier was struggling with the impedance dropping so low.
Learning new stuff everyday! I'm still shopping for a more capable amplifier but the old Optonica is keeping a smile on my face as the journey unfolds.
Interesting...I haven't run into any clipping or protection issues and I've used 4-5 different amps now. I also have an Optonica SA-5206 here but I've never hooked it up to my CF's, might have to give that a shot this weekend.

Finally broke 70 today. Took the hardtop off the wife's Wrangler and went for a nice drive before we put the soft top on for the season.
hit 78 here yesterday, pretty nice. we were out on the front porch until 2am, enjoying the mild weather before the skeeters come out.

it's all relative. After -25`, +25` IS warm. No coat, a flannel shirt is fine
Exactly...25 feels lovely after the last few months up here, and come November, 25 will feel frigid for a few days until we adjust. Meanwhile in the summer, we'll still have 90+ days with high humidity and lots of thunderstorms. Actually looking forward to that adjustment

My ears popped earlier then the gray sky and 35 made me tell her it looked like snow outside.
We had about 40 minutes of these big goose feather flakes. The saying goes "Big snow, little snow" and conversely yep even with twenties in the early am nothing will stick, but its fun to see in the lower latitudes. I can hear Charlie Daniels peaceful "Carolina" right now!
Funny, a few of my wife's coworkers are in SC and all they could talk about today was the snow. She was tempted to show them the 3-4" we got this morning but figured that this was a novelty down there, no reason to rain (or snow) on their parade.

Yeah. My home town. WooHoo.
I can dress for cold and colder but I can only undress so far for hot. Seems that sooner or later we are all prisoners to heating or air conditioning.
On the other hand I don't worry about earth quakes, hurricanes, tornado's, forest fires, tsunami's etc. I live on the largest chunk of granite on earth
(the Canadian Shield) so things are pretty solid. Also the best Walleye and Northern Pike (Muskie) fishing in NA both summer and winter (F**k Golf) never mind
the CC, VO and beer and the most hrs. of sunshine per year in Canada.
No, I don't like the cold but I sure hate the hot, muggy.
GO Bombers.
I love visiting my inlaws on their lakefront cabin up in MB, but you can keep the beer :D. OK, I do admit I'll have a Labatt Blue when it's 32 and we're out on the boat, but I always end up bring a case of my own beer up with me.
And Go Bombers! We watched the Grey Cup down here in MN and the whole family was ecstatic.

Do you folks ever get used to that extreme cold? I see photos of people at outdoor christmas events and it’s super-duper cold. Guys wearing baseball caps and what appear to be regular old coats instead of extreme cold foul-weather stuff.
I once worked on an Ice-breaking ship. When it hit 40, we were outside with short-sleeved shirts, but when it was 26 below -- we were real cold and didn’t want to be outside. So, is all a mental thing--this is what it is and i’m still going to go out and do stuff with my friends regardless of the weather?
Yeah you get used to it for sure. I lived in California and Arizona for ~30 years and while I was used to the CA heat, AZ was a new level and it took me about a year to really adapt. It's been the same with the cold up here in the north; you adapt and learn to dress properly. I will go outside in shorts when it's -26, but only to get the mail

Got a look under them again. There's rubber caps over some metal feet with a 1/4"-20 thread up the middle. OK, time to get some spikes. I like @moray james's idea of the ramset spikes, but really don't feel like picking up a box of 200 to do it. Then again, some goober on eBay is selling that exact thing in a set of 8, with stop-nuts, for the price of the 200-pack. What a world...
I probably still have the extra 7 originals from my CF-2's, if you're interested...

Maybe I'll try to unscrew them one day. Didn't pay much attention inside the cabinets when I was bracing.
My CF-2's had screw-in spikes. One was broken when I bought them, so I replaced all 8 with generic spikes from PE: https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-dss3-sn-satin-nickel-speaker-spike-set-4-pcs--240-678

Hi,
Just joined the Epic club.
I scored a set of CF3 version 1.
Thanks for this thread, excellent information here.
These need to be completely refurbed, so I will post pics on their journey back to OEM.

Congrats! Are you the one who was debating between these and the Forte II's this week?
