Congratulations for these beautiful Khorn, they are beautiful in this livery If I had to clean these Khorn, I'd already dust off with a vacuum cleaner and pay attention to the speakers. First gently sand with iron wool grade 0000, again suck the dust. Then I will try to feed the wood with linseed oil, do not put a lot of oil, then wipe the oil that does not penetrate the wood with a soft cloth. http://www.steelwool.biz/Steel_Wool_Grades_Uses.htm https://ardec.ca/en/blog/22/linseed-oil-a-natural-solution-for-wood-finishing For fabric covers if they can disassemble and there is no speaker behind, you can try gently with a small steam cleaner! Good restoration

Thank dtel Yes !!! Cornwall has Cornwalls and La Scala at the theater Last pictures with other camera and more sharper

Here are more beautiful pictures of the plates. They are polished brass and engraved and the letters are painted black. The edges are bevelled, it's beautiful on the Klipsch!

I will try to put a picture of the plates sharper later!

Thank men

Hello ! after almost two years of happiness, some news from my Cornwall III. I really liked Amy's project : https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/150513-custom-plaques-for-heritage-speakers/ But as I am far from the US I have made here in France, by a craftsman my plates of Heritage. I think Klipsch will not mind if I did not go through them for manufacturing because it was complicated because of the distance and because Amy does not work at home anymore, so I did not have the new one contact. Then, for the position on the cabinet, I hesitated a long time and then I chose this place discreet because invisible, when the fabric cover is in place and high enough so that one can read the text without lying down On the ground. Do you like that? I will try to put a sharper picture later!

I use a very good TEAC TN550 with a very good Jelco arm, cartridge Ortofon 2M bronze it is replaced by Stanton 881S ViVidLine LPGear

Nice unboxing

Your CW are beautiful, good repair !

Very nice installation, I love your furniture and the LS are superbly integrated and the right color

Bravo, j'adore

Hello ! Ro60, I'm really sorry about what's happening to you. Fortunately Klipsch is a serious undertaking and she will repair your pair of Forte III and especially try to understand what is this problem of collage !!! My Cornwall III arrived from Germany in summer 2016 in a truck on a pallet and transport was impeccable, the speakers were in perfect condition. However I do not remember if there was a small bag of silicate in the package. Your tape recorders are superb, I myself have a Tascam 34 and a Revox B77 MKII full track master in 38cm/s: splendid

Bravo! to Klipsch and to your seller

I do exactly the same thing with my C504

Very nice pics

You put resistors in L pad on the tweeter, as we talked about on the other post?

Hello, wdecho, look at my signature, I'm French and my english is not optimum. So sometimes we understand the opposite of what I mean and it's my fault 167/5000

Yes I agree with you, to be rigorous and to respect the law of ohm it is necessary a network of resistances in parallel series. This is quite possible at the tweeter level to mount an L-pad Attenuator by making a removable mount with lugs. http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-Lpad.htm Otherwise, when the values are weak, we can neglect the ohm's law and do without, even if it is not very correct at the theoretical level. Anyway everything is removable and it is to make listening tests and satisfy the ears of Speedy6963

Super

Without touching the filter of your FIII, you can test a reduction of the tweeter. Just insert a resistor with lugs between the wire + tweeter and the lug + the speaker. The advantage and you do not need to modify and solder the filter or the speakers of your FIII. In case of resale you can remove the resistance and return the FIII as at the exit of the factory. For the reduction of the sound, you can do progressive tests, until you find the sound you like: test with resistances of 10 w and 1, 1.2, 1.8, 2.2, 3, ... ohms. To do the success tests no need to dismantle the entire FIII, you will just need to unscrew and screw back the tweeter. Good listening The position of resistance

Yes, in my case the boxes were sealed by Klipsch and were never opened by the distributor. So, if the boxes have been opened by someone else you may have the explanation!

The wood of my CWIII manufactured in 2015 has no defect: no hole, no bump. Just perfect ! Klipsch should pay attention to the aesthetic quality of its products, it's a shame to ruin a reputation with so little. Klipsch should make an effort to satisfy you, with either a reduction or a remplacement of the product. Maybe he could realign the horns of the first pair, right?

Someone here asked if it was possible to see the interior of the Forte III. A store selling on the net in France did this test: In english http://blog.son-video.com/en/2017/08/review-klipsch-forte-iii/ In french http://blog.son-video.com/2017/08/test-klipsch-forte-iii/

I just watch my 2 CWIII in my living room, I have since 18 months and I never looked if she had this fault. They have a bit the same defect but much less marked than on your picture. The top of the horn is very slightly embedded in the wood of a few tenth of a millimeter (0.01 inch) and the bottom left slightly exceeds a millimeter (0.0393701 inch) of wood. Bottom right is at zero right on the wood. A few months ago I calmly tightened all the screws of the speakers, because with the vibrations they tend to unscrew a little. I did about a quarter turn on almost every screw. The speakers did not move.
