Yes i seen this ad previously and wondered whats the difference between the plastic horn and the aluminum?
Dave's lens are heavy will not need damping like plastic might. Don't think there is an elliptical horn made in plastic that will fit in your speakers. Claude did some testing on Dave's mahn with some very good results.

No.4 is selling a pair of ct 125's and an a/4500 crossovers in for sale sec. Not sure if crossovers would work but you could buy the ct 125's and easily sell them if you don't like them.

What lens did you use? Is it absolutely mandatory to use the MAHL lens with it? Whats the difference?
Do a search for road show, should be able to find thread on mahl ( machine alu. horn lens) I believe claude uses this combo on new super heresy. Bob crites sites will explain the ct 120 and ct125 to you better than I can. In each case the horn lens is matched to get the most out of tweeter according to speaker - crossover etc used. De10 could be used but may be more trouble than its worth given other choice's.

I currently have the Super Heresy using The pro12 driver with K55m mids and K77 tweets. Looking to update the tweets and am curious to what sounds best in them. Looking at the CT125 and the B&C DE10. What are the pro's and con's with these tweeters in the Super's? Thanks
I had Dave A's mahl with de120 in my chorus I and they sounded fantastic. Also had de10 on my chorus on k79 horn lens. ( pain to get de10 in , had to make special clamps to attach to horn and install from inside thur mid range opening. Both sounded good, de 120 more klipsch like, had a slightly more metal sound, very detailed and more extended highs. The de 120 liked power and sound better the more you give it.
De10 a little more laid back, more like a soft dome but still detailed and a little less klipsch like. I did notice a little harshness with de10 on some material but could be because of the k 79 horn. Been playing with zxpc 17 by 11 and for grins I cut a 1 inch hole and attached the de10 to outside of horn ( danley kind of). Work great, slight harshness I heard was gone. ( think point source)[
Never owned ct 125 but reviews I read make it sound a little less klipsch like and more laid back.
Which one to go with? I think that would depend if you like the upfront more klipsch sound or a more laid back sound. The de10 can be used but a pain to work with. Hope this helps!

1000 bucks, look for a pair of lascalas. There is a guy on Atlanta CLs with a pair of chorus II speakers for sale 1200, bet he could be talked down. Good luck!
Just looked on Atlanta CLs pair of ind. lascalas for 1400 with crites upgrades. Again bet he could be talked down.
I believe the guy with the chorus II trades, buys and sells equipment.

Just what I needed, good price too! Next time.

Curious if you gents are replacing your old/original ferrofluid in your k-79-k tweeters, or are you just cleaning them and running without - aka k-75-k?
Cleaned out chorus I's and replaced diaphragm with crites ti. Did not replace fluid, no problems so far.

Hey for anyone interested the K-79 larger tweeter road show setup is back and available. The next guy who had asked for them has not responded to emails so they are ready for the net inquiring mind. Yes Dave says they sound really good but what does he know right? Find out for yourself as hearing is believing.
I was first on the list and really enjoyed the tweeters, big change compared to my stock k 79 with Ti upgrade. They were well machined and a perfect fit for my chorus I's, could even use orginal screws. ( No going to the hardware store! ) Dave supplied 2 sets of speaker wire with aligator clips which made connecting the tweeters a breeze.
Found them to be very smooth and detailed, the harshness I heard on some material was gone. ( I listen to mostly CD's) I tried everything in past to get rid of harshness from open cell form to felt in the horns and even rebuild crossovers with bob's kit. The tweeters where the only upgrade that got rid of it. If you have speakers that uses a k 79 tweeter I highly recommend this upgrade! They are definely worth a try and I think you will be glad you did.
Forgot to mention they still keep that klipsch sound that so many like.

Thanks gents, figured they were different drivers used. Just trying to open up options. Considering building a set of klf-30's to avoid/correct the known cabinet quality issues.Keep us informed, just finished repairing one klf 10 cabinet and have to do the other. Leaning towards selling when finished but might upgrade and keep if not to expensive. Good luck!

Do you have pictures? A DE10 will not work in a space designed to use my K-77 dropins. The K-77 horn lens is far different than the K-79. What do you mean the horn lens is the same size?
Your lens compared to a k 79 is exactly the same size - perfect fit. Was not sure if the de10 driver on your lens would be too big to correctly fit in a chorus speaker.

Dave do these fit La Scala IIs ?
Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk
The horn lens itself is the same size - fit as a klipsch k 79, my concern is the size of the de10 driver.
Looked at pics Dave posted again, top pair is k79 guessing bottom pics are for k 77 replacement?

I am thinking of adding a set of DE10's to the road show set of tweeters. It sounds at least as good as the DE120's and perhaps even better as I sit here listening and it does so at $60 less per pair than the DE120's cost. These larger tweeters and the larger space to work with make a LOT of options available but these DE10's have got to be the best bang for the buck I have heard. Which reminds me if you want your name on the tester list and the idea of having two sets of drivers accompany the testing kit appeals to you let me know.
Which speakers are you using these in, will they fit (work) in a chorus speaker?

Let an accomplished wood worker do the repair
++ I have sanded out scratches and had good and bad luck. Not trying to offend just if you don't the the experience it is to easy to make a mistake. Start out with the wrong grit, said in the wrong direction and you could be in trouble. If your an experienced woodwork you have a feel and the knowledge to do it right, if not it can be to easy to get in trouble. IMO

if you dont want to sand them with oil, take a walnut and rub it on the scratches. it works well
Do a search on the net for repairing scratches in wood, some good ideas. The walnut trick was one of the methods, I would sand as a last resort if not careful you easily do more harm than good. Would post a link but clipboard is still lost since my tablet upgraded.

Depending on the year of the Chorus II's you might find the same exact black shiny plastic looking diaphragm as what's already in the 10's. A decent pair of KLF-10's in working condition are easily worth a couple hundred bucks, I've seen them sell for upwards of $500 in really nice condition. Anyway nice score, congrats!
Yea turns out exact same part as chorus II's. Did notice the cabinet was loose when I took a horn out, guess I'll have to spend the next few days re-gluing the cabinet. ( klf glue blues) Might have to deaden inside cabinet and horns while apart. Once back together decide to sale or keep and upgrade. Thanks for the help!

Yes, same part but would really recommend the Crites titanium for both.
Have the ti in chorus speakers. Got klf 10's for free the other day from a customer, trying to smooth out the high/mids on a budget till I decide to sale or keep. The bass is nice and the imaging is good, hoping the old chorus diaphgram will smooth things out a little on top end. If they do I mostl likely keep and upgrade to ti.
Will put them in tonight and post results, thanks.

Have a pair of original chorus II diaphgrams. Looks like they fit in klf10's was wondering spec wise if they will work, thanks.

Rebuilding a pair of klf10 crossover's. One the old capacitors is 1.75uf, would a 2uf be close enough to work correctly?

8 foot ceiling, I'd like to keep to TV where it's at. I'm a proficient woodworker but need to figure out the math prior, the top cabinet will be straight forward. The woofers would be separated from each other.
I would figure out the box size first. Since you want to keep tv a present height I would measure first and then figure out depth and width available. Once you get box diminesions I think it would easier to look at different bass bin available. Quarter pies are flat at 17 inches high, bigger across the front but some people have cut them down from 48 inches. Are you running a sub?
Might have to make some compromise's. I have a diy chorus 2 center and had to raise the tv up some but it was worth it.

Just got a free pair klf 10`s in good shape except for 4 small bubbles in the veneer. (Bubbles are about 1 inch long and 1/4 inch wide)
Did a search and found 2 ideas - 1 use a syringe and inject glue into bubble, put wax paper over bubbles and weight to hold down bubbles till glue dries. 2- cut open bubble with a razor blade and put in glue with tooth pick or syringe. Place a damp towel over bubbles, weight and wait for the glue to dry.
Has anyone tried anyone of these methods? I think one would be better, razor blade cut might create to big an open and a damp towel I would think would be bad for the veneer? Thoughts!
Also was wondering about price point on these, nice but they don`t keep up with my chorus I' or II's. Been thinking about some ct120's for a project I am doing.

Are the k 48 e woofers 4 ohm in chorus I and 8 ohm in the chorus II, thanks.

Will not happen again.

There's still some RF-62's around with warranty, I saw a few on eBay even. You might try that. There's also a pair of RF-83's in Atlanta right now on Craigslist that would be killer, but probably won't work with the footprint.
Ok thanks I will check them out and let him know.
