    The network is definitely B-3.  It will say so on a plate on the side below the terminals. IT DOES

    By the way, the crossover components look awfully clean, despite being 30+ years old.   YES THEY DO!

    You appear to have a late 1983 Cornwalls, which has the exact same setup as my late 1984 Cornwalls, see below;

    B-3 crossover network
    K-33-E woofer
    K-57-K midrange (K-52-K driver with K-601 composite horn)
    K-77-M tweeter (K-77-M square magnet driver with K-77 composite horn)

     

    To my ears, they are wonderful.  I've yet to upgrade anything in mine.  Good luck!

     

    P.S. How do the cabinets look?  Feel free to post pix. The cabinets are a little beat up, some of the front oak has peeled off. I am going to fix them after I go through the rest of the speaker 1st. The cane speaker grills are shot. I will use the old speaker grill as a template to make a new one. Not sure what I will cover it with, not a fan of the cane but not sure I want black either.

  2. I have a pair of Cornwalls from 1983 and I am trying to identify all of the speakers it came with and the crossover network it is using. I am going to rebuild or replace the crossovers soon.

     

    I have attached some pictures.

     

    From reading the Klipsch History Guide found on here I have concluded the following. Let me know if you see any errors.

     

    The Tweeter is an Electro Voice

    The Woofer is An Eminecne K33

    The Horn/Midrange has no markings. so I need help on this one.

     

    Also on the crossover there are some numbers but I cant find anything about them.

     

    Thanks for the help.

    When I left in 1983, I think they were already using the copper-colored rectangular one with "Klipsch" spelled out and in a square at the end was the "PWK" logo.

    Like this?

  4. Maynard and anyone else who has built The Ultimate Gem, I have attached a breakdown of yhe parts needed to build it. (I think I got everything correct),

     

    What I would like to know is if I have identified all of the parts correctly. If I did not let me know and I will update it or add anything that is missing. I am very close to pulling the trigger on purchasing the parts for this build and want to make sure I have them identified correctly.

    Thanks

    I will also be using my desktop pc (Realtek ALC887) is the motherboard sound chip will this work.

     

    Here is the voltage information on the Audio portion of the Motherboard.

    Full-Scale Output Voltage                                         Min     Typical     Max      Units
    DAC                                                                           -           1.2          -           Vrms           
    Headphone Amplifier Output@32Ω Load                  -           1.2          -           Vrms

    Not sure if that is what you were looking for or not. Will I be able to play music from my phone?

     

    That's funny that you recommended Mark, I emailed him and got a reply from him yesterday :)

     

    The reason I was asking about the diy kits is because I was getting frustrated trying to figure out what all the parts are on your (and others) schematics.

     

    But I am going to persevere and keep reading and asking questions.

     

    On the Ultimate Gem schematic, are the following assumptions correct?

     

    R1 R2 R3 etc. are these Resistors?

    C1 C2 C3 etc. are the Capacitors?

    RS407L  is this a Bridge  Rectifier?

    Thanks everyone, have a Happy and SAFE New Year! 

     

     

     

     

     

  6. Thanks for the reply Maynard!

     

    I will be using it at work with my cell phone.

     

    I am going to build the Ultimate Gem. I think I might gave found a few local ham radio clubs to go check out.

     

     

     

    Are there some electronic tools I need other than a soldering iron & multi meter?

    And is it better to buy a big kit of various caps or just what you need for 1 build?

  7. Maynard thanks for your replies (checks in the mail) :o and for the safety link (I do have all my hair, it's not going anywhere for a long time). I will review and also still looking for someone local that can give me some hands on help.

     

    Yes I do want to build it from total scratch.

     

    I will review your builds, I have seen the following, are there more?

     

    The little Smoothie

    The little Tater

     

  8. OK Maynard I am going to listen to you and others advice and start out with a "safer" build.

    What I would like to build is a tube amp set or pp you tell me. To drive a pair of Cerwin Vega 5-W bookshelf speakers. They are rated at 89 db. Here is a link to the dpecs. http://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/cerwin-vega/v-5m.shtml

    I will use this as a desktop system at work, speakers will be right in front of me. (2 feet) away.

    This will also be a learning time for me b4 I tackle the FRANKENSET300B for my Cornwalls.

    So if anyone has an idea of what I should build let me know.
