Hi all,
Is there any consensus on the best vintage or modern woofer for the Klipschorn (assuming ideal motor boards)?
Thanks!
-
Wish I could... but living in Boston means I only have room for my Klipschorns (barely)...

Good find. I really like the new grill cloth on the Khorns and LaScala's, looks like a metal/fabric hybrid of some sort. Would love some of that stuff.
Check this thread. Looking at the suppliers website they may not be offered any longer, though.

I love my Dan Sachs 6SN7 linestage. The remote control and Khozmo attenuation are a plus. I inherited tons of 6SN7 tubes so that definitely influenced my choice but I have zero regrets or concerns about upgrades.

Location?

I wish they’d just re-run these - plenty of demand!

Thanks for the tip but I'm up to my ears with a pair of Klipschorns..

I guess my question is, you have two fabrics in the picture that looks loose. Are they the 9000 and 2000 option ?
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYes, that is P9000 on the left and P2000 on the right...

Hey Otis so the question is, is that factory 70th grill fabric ?
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI'm not 100% positive (not having seen the 70th anniversary in person) but all the details look right.
-
The P9000 at the above link looks to be the 70th Anniversary cloth. I had a swatch delivered last week and it looks exactly the same on close inspection.
(The P9000 is on the left in my pic)

Hey all,
With the purchase of my '64 Khorns I was given the original woofers - Jensen P15LLs. They both have coils rubbing it seems.
Would these be any improvement over the Crites cast frame woofers?
Thanks!

Would you know if your 2a3 amp can be swapped to 807 on the fly? Or does it need to be rewired? I haven't heard of any 2a3 thus I am leaning on the 807 side. Do you have photo of the said amps?
2A3 cannot swap for 807... the only thing you would be able to reuse between the amps is the chassis (and maybe the vintage components if that's your fetish).

I'll take the tweets..

Hey all, I know this is a long shot for unobtainium but maybe there's someone who's upgraded their mid horn with a cane wrapped motorboard(s) kicking around or you have a spare piece maybe?
Thanks!
-
I think there's a couple on the 'bay... for what it's worth...
-
I've traded with and bought from TubeWorld... they seem to be completely legit - if not for this somewhat hokey cryo treatment for tubes being a selling point...

Thanks, are you referring to the filament on the 807?
No, the wire running to the top of the tube terminated in a ceramic or bakelite cap is connected to the plate of the tube and carries dangerous high voltage..

Be VERY careful around those top caps - those are the plate connections and at several hundred volts... nice blue glow!

These may be worthwhile to make Greg an offer. (If they fit your production year)
So, those as pictured do look like cane grills (as mine are) but the text of the ad mentions Klipsch cloth #7 which is a textured black grill cloth.
If at all possible, I'd like to stay with the original cane but it seems like that will be a major pain to source.
Thanks for the link!

Hey Otis...how did they come out????
You got your Ks set up and in use yet?
I'm sad to say I haven't gotten them up and running yet. "Up" involves five short flights of stairs to my man-cave. I have a buddy coming over sometime this week to help...
In the meantime, I'm investigating grill cloth replacement and whether or not to that end should I just go with a replacement midrange unit such as the Volti V-Trac or the Fastrac-K/ALK xover and not bother with a grill cloth repair on the stock motorboard.
I'd still like to find some of the old cane grill cloth to replace the single damaged tophat grill but I understand that might be a tough one to fulfill..
I'll probably replace the crossover caps and live with the shabby grill for a little while before going the horn upgrade route.
