I am just staring down the barrel of my LSIs as I read this, and remember someone else pointing something out in another thread…
The “Klipsch” logo on their speakers uses a small “k”.
Now I don’t own anything current, so I don’t know if that’s changed, just passing on what little I am aware of at the moment.But thanks for your contributions nonetheless!

Hifishark is a good reference.
I think they're worth more than Cornwalls for their sound, but the aesthetics aren't as nice, to some. I don't mind the serious industrial look. They mean business.
In decent shape with everything working I wouldn't take less than a grand. If they have the pro version of the K-48 woofers, the woofers alone would be worth half of that.

Hi Scott, and welcome to the forum.
Do the speakers still have the crossovers in them?
They would be on one of the side walls in the middle.

I don’t think $2500 is out of line one way or the other.
2G would be a steal.

I also killed an original diaphragm coil. Be delicate.
I came here to issue the same caveat. I’m guilty of murder too…
There was some debris down in the voice coil gap and it crushed the voice coil when installing.
Another excommunicated vendor of aftermarket parts used to suggest folding over a Post-It note and cleaning the gap.
It’s a game of Operation, lol.

Can someone explain why chorus ii amp recommendations are always super high powered amps, while they are 101 (according to the spec sheet) db efficient, while something like a forte IV (99 db) often recommended lower powered tubes. What explains the difference?
in a word, headroom
in two words, dynamic power
in my limited experience, the woofer ALWAYS knows what to do with the watts and it ALWAYS results in tighter, cleaner bass that makes the -3dB point shine
even -10dB bass in a 101dB efficient speaker is 91dB!
…no sub needed

…11 x 17” ?

47uF is the value for a 400Hz cross from the woofer.
But, as I understand it, it is an acoustic crossover determined by the combination of everything going on in your speaker.If it sounds nice your DE85s aren’t unloaded. At least not at the levels you enjoy.
Someone turning it to “11” may get them barking, or fry them.
-
A 39uF cap would cross around 500hz.
Does the squawker get a little “crackley” sometimes? That’s when I know I’ve pushed it too far.

put the H3 kit in them
sell the woofers and tweeters, maybe even the crossovers, for half of what the kit costs
if you like what you hear, and you will,
never look on another audio forum

I’m in the 50 hours for a woofer to “get down” camp.
I had been using a pair of Kappa 15Cs in my FH-1 bins for a couple years downstairs. I took them out to play around with them in a Cornscala build upstairs, which I quite liked the midbass on, so I kept them there. Bought a new pair to put back in the FH-1s. Thought I had wired something out of phase, opened them up to check it out, reefed down on all the bolts (8 spiky pests in an FH-1 bin), even wound up stripping one, sigh. I even rechecked the specs online to see if there were production differences. Fast forward about a month of typical listening and POW!
It seemed almost immediate to me when they “broke in”.
I too also find my amp to sound better after it’s been on for at least 20 minutes, but THAT might be my ears/brain putting everything back into phase compared to what I have heard all day at work. I often leave the amp on but muted overnight and the next day it’s 50/50 whether it gels after unmuting. The quality of the recording I’ve randomly chosen no doubt plays a role in all this.
But after 20 minutes, either I’m less critical or more appreciative, lol.

I live in Canada and know where DFW is, lol… anyone I have ever met that has been to Texas would live there in a heartbeat!
I had a pair of CF-3s, they pounded, can’t imagine how awesome CF-4s must sound.

If it is a good deal just buy them. It is that easy.
Yes! If you think you could sell them for what you bought them for, it’s free rent to find out if you like them.-
