As soon as I posted the offer for the CW1526s it occurred to me that you need 12 inchers. Since Ill not get around to using the CW1526s any time soon, the offer to lend them still stands.
FWIW, in my past life I defended med mal cases. Now as a small business owner I avoid lawyers as much as possible. Thanks for the reassurance regarding the lingering pain. Normally free advice is worth what you pay for it, but in this case its comforting to hear that its not an unheard of situation. If I werent getting slightly better every day Id be concerned.
When it became necessary to involve a Urologist to manage the kidney stone problem, my internist suggested the practice of Drs . Peters & Gonzales. When Dr. Gonzales first met with me in the hospital I was somewhat confused . . . there was nothing wrong with my Gonzales. :-)

Bruce-
All I did was modify the networks based upon the collective advice of Bob, Dean and Dennis as reflected in the following excerpt from a thread started by Belleman:
Belleman,
You can just move the squawker from tap 4 to tap 3 on the autotransformer. That will attenuate the midrange 3 more dB. It will also move the midrange crossover point a bit, but you can just give it a try to see if it puts you where you want to be for output. If you like what that does for you, you can then remove the 6.2 cap you put in and just leave in the 6.8 uF cap.
A lot of people prefer the midrange attenuated a bit more than the factory spec.
Bob Crites<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />What Bob said. Drop from tap 4 to tap 3. I would go ahead and make the cap change from 13uF to 6.8uF.
Dean
"Drop from tap 4 to tap 3. I would go ahead and make the cap change from 13uF to 6.8uF"
If you add a 15 ohm resistor in parallel with the mid driver it will keep the crossover frequency the same and smooth out the impedance peaks, no cap value change needed.

jc said, "Mike. Don't forget, I'm a Urologist . . . "
jc is that true? If so, is it normal to still wake up with back (kidney) pain every morning three weeks after that hideous 10" pigtailed stent was removed?
BTW, I heard that the uertal stent was invented by that guy who flew the kite with the key in the rain. It's known as a Urethra Franklin.
But seriously, I've followed your project with great interest. When time, money and residual kidney stone pain permit, I plan to do something similar. Until then I've got two NIB Crites CW1526 woofers that you could try. To satisfy my curiosity, Id be willing to pay the freight one way if you pay to return them when done.
Regards,

Did you build them? If so, what did you decide about stuffing?
I liked the results without any, but, I must confess, I never tried it with any. If I ever get the time I plan to build, or get, another pair and repeat the mod. Then I'll try some acoustic stuffing, but my suspicion is that it's unnecessary.

Bob has always been courteous and helpful, a true gentleman, as I modified a pair of La Scalas for the local high school. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
He is simultaneously knowledgeable, not afraid to express an opinion, diplomatic and not thin skinned. I cant recall a harsh word directed at anyone. Hes a credit to the hobby and the forum. If only all forum members could be so helpful and civil.
Its not everyone who gets to proofread his eulogies prior to the fact. May there be time for many more drafts before theyre needed.
Thanks Bob

Several forum members, yours truly included, have posted photos of the modification in its various forms. The link below has some photos and the first post includes links to other threads with more photos.

Re: I have Ported the La Scalas!

Good luck. Its a good thing. I would do it again to any La Scalas that I ever own. Feel free to email or PM if you have specific questions.

I agree with Def Leper. More than $500 for a pair of used Heresies (pre H-II) is too much. I would pay even less for H-IIs.

"WHOOFDEAL as good as Beaus from Clips Horn!"
The sad thing is that the sellers probably don't know any better and neither do their customers.
Again Bob, you've got your finger on eBay's pulse. Thanks for the amusing finds.

This comparison of Presbyterians to Episcopalians is interesting but somewhat lost on a lapsed Christian Scientist.[1] When I was growing up I thought Presbyterians were about as bland as Protestants could get. After reading How the Scots Invented the Modern World by Arthur Herman I have a whole new understanding of the more complex side of Presbyterianism, but I'm not certain that I get the joke. I assume it has something to do with predestination. Is he commenting upon the fact that it was predestined that he'd experience that fall, so now he's glad it's over? If so, do Presbyterians drive as if everything is predestined and beyond their influence? If so, we need to put stickers on their cars.

As some might recall, I recently had a bout with a kidney stone. Thats not an experience I would have wanted to endure without modern medicine and serious pain killers.
FYI, the landscape is riddled with former Christian Scientists: my three siblings (save our bi-polar sister), Robert Duval, Alan B. Shepard and Ellen Degeneres, to name a few. When Christian Science was founded in 1876 it advised avoiding three things: alcohol, tobacco and doctors. In 1876 all three were good advice. Today its just two out of three, but 2 out 3 will get you inducted at <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Cooperstown.

Yes DRBILL, that's exactly what I wanted to know. It seemed improbable that you would have unilaterally discovered Klipsch speakers and then coincidentally found yourself in Hope.
What became of the '57 Khorns?
Thank you.
-
The vault remains available. Ask Gilbert and Audible Nectar about its value for the shipment of pristine Cornwalls.
As always, any beater empty Heritage (other than Heresy) enclosures are of interest.
-
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Now, if you recall, some time ago you indicated that you would share some non-privileged information regarding your relationship with PWK. While anything you'd be willing to share would be of interest, I'm specifically interested in whether your knowledge and ownership of Klipsch speakers preceded your acquaintance with Paul W. Klipsch.

"Looking forward to join this furum"
Lech,
You are already a welcomed member. We look forward to hearing about your experience with your Khorns.
Your "Swenglich" is much better than my Swedish.

dtel,
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
I agree with Oldbuckster in principle, but would substitute a NordicTrack for the treadmill. Ive used a NT regularly for more than a decade. I supplement the NT with free weights, pushups and sit-ups.
Due to an old knee injury (water skiing), the NT works better for me than a treadmill. It also has the advantage of simultaneously exercising the arms. They seem tricky at first, but after a few minutes, youll feel like an Olympic cross-country skier, and Ive never cross country skied.
Like most home exercise equipment, dust catching NTs and treadmills are readily available used for a fraction of their cost new.
Exercise is boring, but with treadmills, including NT, you can watch TV while you exercise.
Good luck.

Thanks for the pictures! You can still shoot your Heresies and the EICO ST70 and post those. I'll testify to their presence, appearance and great sound.

Glenn and Verna,<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O />
Scott and I really enjoyed the company and the food at your BBQ. It was a pleasure meeting other Klipschophiles and sharing their appreciation of your home theater.
Scott and Doug were especially impressed by your home theater demonstration. Scott is enjoying retelling the experiences to his mother and brother.
Thanks to Michael Hurd and friend for bringing half a cow all the way from Thunder Bay, Ontario to Allen Park, MI. The prime rib was fabulous.
I look forward to seeing some of the pictures. Thank you for your generous hospitality.

Glenn,
I emailed that my 23 year-old son would like to meet you and to see and hear your home theater. If it's OK, put us down as 2 for certain. We'll bring food.
-
Glenn,
I'm still planning to be there. I'll bring a crab dip and chips or crackers to dip into it.
You need not figure any alcohol for me, as I'll still be medicated following a recent bout with a kidney stone that required surgery. All the horror stories you might have heard about kidney stones are true. It is extremely painful. I'll bring bottled H2O; got to keep flushing the system.
Looking forward to seeing you and Verna again.

Bump.
The vault's still available for use by forum members, and I'm still looking for beater enclosures.
