It's the Selenium HM25-25: https://www.parts-express.com/selenium-hm25-25-1-exponential-horn-90x60-1-3-8-18-tpi--264-312 Specifications: • Horn type: Exponential • Minimum frequency: 1,200 Hz • Nominal dispersion: 90° H x 60° V • Throat diameter: 1.0" • Mounting type: 1-3/8"-18 TPI • Dimensions: 10.79" W x 6.46" H x 5.94" D • Cabinet cutout: 4-5/8" H x 9-1/4" W • Selenium #HM25-25. I was planning to go with either the Eminence Delta-12LFA or the Crites CW1228. These are empty cabs so I don't have any drivers or crossovers to work with.

Wow, that's really kind of you. I'll knock out one of the boards ASAP and get all the measurements once I have the new horns here (they're out of stock at PE until March 30, so it'll be a couple weeks)

So just tap it out gently, cut, and then glue/screw it back in? Or am I missing something there? Now that you mention cutting motorboards, I'm thinking that just buying new ones would be a good route...then I could preserve the original boards if I ever wanted to go back. How much would that set me back?

Thanks, that's good to hear. Did you cut the existing motorboard to fit the new horn, or build a new one?

woof....this is tempting, but I already picked up some empty cabs today

About 18 months ago I picked up some Heresy I in raw birch. The cabinets are pretty ratty, but they sound great and the drivers/crossovers are in good shape. This week I bought some empty Heresy cabs in black that are very nice. I think I'm going to swap all the components over to the HFB cabs, which leaves me with some ugly old cabs to play with. I'm thinking a CS-1 project is in order, but I need to decide on woofers (among other things). Are the K22/K24 preferable, or is the K28 a better choice? Then there's also other options like this: https://www.parts-express.com/eminence-beta-12a-ii-12-driver--290-408. I'm hoping to just cut the existing motorboard to fit the larger horn, but if that's a bad idea I'm all ears. Any other recommendations or tips for a project like this?

Just picked up a very clean pair of empty Heresy HFB cabinets, so I'm thinking about converting my old beat up HBR pair into some Crites CS-1's. Anyone have some K22/K24/K28 woofers available? Risers would be nice as well, although I know I can get those from Crites directly too.

Hey, I just bought a house in Saint Michael! We're almost sorta kinda neighbors now Probably too late now, I'm guessing you sold your house right? Yeah I'm looking forward to meeting with others locally as well. I'd love to hear more gear! Damn, would have loved to hear those..I guess I missed out BTW...sorry for the latergram on this thread. Been out of the loop for many months here, just getting back into things.

Yeah definitely a good price. I still have a pair of these myself and I paid $200 for them back in 2014. Probably overpaid, but they fit my needs at the time.

Oh yeah, it's fun just playing out all the possibilities in my head; I just hope I have enough gear for now since I probably won't be able to spend on much of anything else for a while. Your house is great, I love that neighborhood and if we didn't have to be close to Winnipeg I think we'd consider Madison. Looks like a really fun town. Glad to be posting here again...the job stuff took a lot out of me last year so I just didn't have any extra time. Hopefully that's all done now though. OK, end of thread crap

well something's gotta pay the bills

I appreciate your tracking of this data! It's helped me make a purchase decision several times, and I'm sure it will come in handy again soon. Ah man, it wasn't a humblebrag or anything. I've spent the last 2 years living in a tiny house (in a place I'm not too fond of ) and that in some way has allowed me to get into a decently large house, although it's on the outskirts of the city so I'll have a hell of a commute if I ever have to work downtown. But now I do have 4 rooms I need to decide on, in terms of speakers and gear. At least I have full reign in 2 of those rooms! The rest of them will be up to The Powers That Be They're fantastic, thanks for your work on them! Can't wait to get them into a space where they can really shine. I wish you were closer so I could collaborate on something, that's assuming you're still CNC'ing cool stuff like this.

That's how the Chorus I was designed; no port tubes or flares. You can tune them by adding these things, just depends on what you're after. My Chorus have flared port tubes, but to be honest I haven't listened without them so I couldn't tell you what difference they make.

I need some of those $800 Cornwalls in the new house, if only to hear them for a little while before I settle on what works for the room(s). Speaking of which, I need to make a post in the HT forum for some advice on my oddly-sized basement.

Yeah, wasn't going to get into the price since there are several intangibles there, not the least of which is the walnut finish. I do know I paid just over half this asking price for my own pair of Chorus, and those were completely rebuilt with new cabinets but with no internal upgrades. Just thought I'd throw them out here since I know they don't come up often.

Damn, I should have picked these up when I came through last June! BTW the KG 4.5's are fantastic, I love them in my office...thanks for the deal

I'd love to :). I know it's kind of an odd request given that we don't know each other, but I have yet to find any other local members of this forum since I moved to MN 18 months ago. And to find someone who has a couple nice theater setups...well that's just what I'm hoping to experience before I make any decisions

Completely off topic, but wow your home theater(s) look very interesting! I'd love to hear them some day since I'm planning out our system once we buy a new house on the north end of town next year, and you are using a lot of the gear I'm thinking about.

Thanks...you know, the more I look at them the more I think they're worth picking up, at that price. They seem to be in great condition.

No affiliation to seller, just thought I'd post them here since this is an uncommon finish. If they were 20's or 30's I'd have jumped on them by now https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/ele/d/klipsch-klf-10-mahogany/6348472218.html

wow, what are the odds? I hope it works out for you!

hmm...it's in my state, but not really close by. my wife is headed up to that area in about 9 days, but that brings its own complications since I won't be with her.

I was in Chicago for the last couple days, but I'm actually kind of glad I didn't see these while I was there. I'd be taking 2 pairs of speakers home and that would be even more explaining I'd have to do
