Claude ran all the tests. His conclusions were the DE120 is best for the K-77 dropins and the DE10 is the best for K-79 etal dropins.
...
So does the DE10 just bolt on to the K-79 lens? And is the stock crossover good to go with this? Just how much better is this pairing?
...and where’s those curves alluded to earlier?
Show us your curves! Lol!

...this is interesting!

This has turned into (another) very insightful post.
Thanks to everyone who has chimed in here!

Ok, I’ll take the hit on this one...
What is “the sub crawl”?

@alexanderfa welcome to the forum!
Some solid advice by some very, correction VERY, knowledgeable individuals here.
Replace the old capacitors if you are able. Lots of discussion on here about that.
Titanium tweeters - YES ! This is almost not optional, especially if yours have those “black shiny poly diaphragms”.
Titanium midrange - not so much, lol.
Amp and source are huge to this equation, as stated, too. Klipsch are very revealing speakers.
The thing about Klipsch is that even though they don’t require many watts to sing, those dual woofers WILL know what to do with the extra watts. The difference between MOST lower powered amps and their higher powered siblings has been day and night in the bass department from my experience.
With more authority in the bass and better high frequency response, the midrange will mellow out in comparison.

Ginger hot or Mary Ann?
I asked that once at a bar I was in for a service call and someone piped up with “Gilligan!”...
I have been a toaster oven convert for decades now.
It toasts, reheats a pizza slice or chinese food without steaming it to death, and makes a perfect Reuben, Philly cheesesteak or garlic bread.
AND you can watch the food cook safely or without stooping.

If I have been reading previous posts correctly, I think Al designs his circuits to take into account the load the woofer introduces into the circuit...?

Tiz, I would like to see the look on your face when you fire up those FH-1’s with the Kappa 15C’s for the first time!
If you are interested, I am using a pair of Bob’s CS-500 (Cornscala crossovers) in a similar setup.
Shoot me a PM and you can come up and borrow them to see how they sound on your tops in your own listening environment. I have a pair of Bob’s A-4500’s you can try on the LaScalas too...
Cheers to the journey!

Regarding the anti-EQ philosophy...
unless I have the EXACT same studio monitors, all ancillary equipment (amps, pre-amps, MIXERS - which have EQ..., recording devices and media), not to mention cables (!), I cannot expect to hear the music as recorded WITHOUT EQ
oh, and I need an acoustically perfect room too...

I love it! It’s not a speaker if you don’t have to pop a ceiling tile!
As for the bass issue in the FH-1...
I was blown away by how low the K33 “sounds” in these bins. Actually checked to see if my sub was on.
K43’s left me very flat.
Kappa 15C’s “sound” as low as the K33’s but MAN do they KICK like none of the others.
I don’t know if it is the higher efficiency of the Kappa 15C, but it blows the cobwebs out of everything I try it in AND the midrange punches hard.

Interesting... at what distance?

The “best” Cornwall hasn’t been built yet...
If you are the sort of person that can leave well enough alone, you WILL enjoy the latest iteration available from Klipsch.
If however, you are only too aware that tastes evolve and technology does too, grab a pair of used Cornwall 1’s or 2’s and enjoy them as is while you peel the onion in search of a peach of a mod!
But once you cut ‘em and stuff ‘em how you please they aren’t “Cornwalls” anymore and any increased expense is a wash as far as resale goes. They will sound better though, and you don’t HAVE to spend a lot.
I still think a two-way would make an excellent Cornwall IV...

150 bucks!
Too cool. I would have ‘em hooked up by now if it was within a two hour drive! How do you think an EV DH1A would sound on these? LOL!
This kind of stuff will be on the antiques roadshow our grandkids will watch, er stream...

....psssst...
If the speaker still has the label with the serial number on the back Klipsch will sell you anything you need to “fix” it:
Another (wicked) mid horn and driver, another tweeter, another crossover...
You could turn your Chorus II’s into what might very well be the Chorus III prototype! And it would be overdue at that!
You are nonetheless on your way to the centre channel deal of the year.
Way to go!

Reading these deals that are so far away is a form of masochism.
