Here is the product you are looking for. It will bring your Klipsch black lacquer speakers to within 5% sheen of the original.
DAL1608 on the back label. I buy mine at O'reilly Auto.

I did not see Klipsch on the exhibitors list.
There are still rooms available. Are there any Klipsch marketing insiders looking into it?
Moderators... here is your chance to forward this to corporate. Would be a shame to launch Corwall IV's without hitting all of the whistle stops.

Will the @Chief bonehead be in attendance? How about @Trey Cannon?
Probably the only reasons I would go, to me a lot of it was like an expensive flea market.

Not sure. Last year was Klipsch's first and handled poorly by Saturday Audio.
It is a big show so one could easily get lost in the commercialism. Most of this stuff a mortal human could never afford, but there are deals to be found. For example HSU was selling subs for 30% less than anywhere.
I remember having a great learning interactive experience at some of the seminars. Last year Matthew Poes (now on the Audiohaulics Youtube channel) presented a how-to REW seminar and later at the after-party with AV Nirvana and JTR speakers featuring subwoofer integration in a home theater, all while watching a movie on a $5000 screen with $3000 masking and a $40,000 projector. I went for the free food.

Since I’m so close to Schaumburg, and have never attended Axpona, I’m just looking forward to checking out the event. Klipsch will definitely be a must stop.

How do the crites crossovers compare to the ALK crossovers?
🤔 good question.

Sold! Locally

Back when you could still buy this stuff, now discontinued, I purchased 2 cases of this for all of my future projects. I still have 1 case left. I use it for all kinds of sound dampening. Works great inside a PC case too.
-
I will include four 2" wide X 10" long black Velcro strips to firmly secure the crossovers to the bottom of the speaker cabinets. No soldering. Easy install.
I will also include an electrical schematic to help with the wiring. Mark sure you mark the + terminal of each speaker before doing anything. Also check the polarity of each speakers wiring before disconnecting anything.
The factory crossovers are most likely attached to the terminal cup. Those can easily be removed with a nut driver or ratchet.
-
Will be making a drill press table with backstop and sacrificial insert for this drill later. No changing of belt pulleys, as it is variable speed with the pull of a lever. The vice is a huge upgrade over the last one.

Very cool. BTW, I hope to have my amp gone tomorrow. I have 2 serious buyers, one local.

Sometimes it is difficult to keep my garage/workshop above 60 degrees for certain wood working and finishing jobs. This should help out on the coldest of days. I have an LP hose long enough to keep the propane tank outside, just have to remember to shut off the gas before spraying anything.
-
Bought this for one reason only. Tone mapping via HDR optimizer function. Looking forward to better looking 4K spinners on my 106" Stewart StudioTek FilmScreen and less projector settings roulette. Will absolutely be keeping my OPPO-203 for all other purposes though.

The two K-25-K woofers I have are best suited for someone who only wants ORIGINAL parts for a Forte II restoration. I Probably have the only 2 available in the country at the moment. No one in the current market is scraping Forte II's for parts and all of the original replacement K-25-K's have been gone for 15 years.

- great I bought a new pair of K28K , steel baskets they don't seem to be made by Eminence USA /good size magnet ,and the surround is neat looking -
For what project?
-
Yes, different in some parameters and manufacturing technicalities, such as a much smaller magnet, but sonically adequate enough for original crossovers and cabinets and most importantly your ears. The K-28-K is/was recommended as the drop in replacement for K-25-K due to the lack of OEM replacement parts for the K-25-K.
-
Oh well. Don't mind hanging on to them myself for when a forum member needs them for something more than profit. oops, did I just say that? I meant good luck.

Which sounds better, BT or Wi-Fi?
There is no debate to be had there. Everyone should now be aware of the fact that WiFi is better SQ over BT. The Zen Blue series is all about lower cost, higher performance. For those that want higher SQ than BT can provide, while still maintaining an ultra low price point, check out the following link
stretching the budget and you could have a better dac with this...

What have you compared BT to? I'm not certain it would better wi-fi. https://www.lifewire.com/what-to-know-about-bluetooth-3134591
quoting from the article above
"Most Bluetooth audio products are built not by the company whose employees wear their brand, but by an original design manufacturer you've never heard of. And the Bluetooth receiver used in an audio product probably wasn't made by the ODM, but by yet another manufacturer. The more complex a digital product is, and if there are more engineers working on it, the more likely it is that no one knows everything about what's really going on inside the device. One format could easily be transcoded into another, and you'd never know it because almost no Bluetooth receiving device will tell you what the incoming format is."
The last phrase intrigues me enough to go further into detail here. I happen to know that the new IFI Zen Blue wireless streamer is indeed a device that does tell you what the incoming format is. It is also the ONLY bluetooth receiver on the market that supports all codecs including the new LDAC and HWA codecs
Per manual:
Codec The colour of the ‘iFi’ logo in the centre of the front display represents the file format received:
Format LED
AAC Yellow
aptX Blue
aptX HD Magenta
LDAC* Cyan
HWA* White
SBC Green
*Available via future firmware update

PS: I also have a pair of Crites crossovers on wood boards for Forte II's if interested
