Pair of KLF-20's I refinished. I used the above stain and sprayed with Satin Lacquer for a KLF "light Oak" (same look as Oak Clear) finish. You can also use the same stain and apply a finishing oil for "Oak Oil" If you can post a pic of the rear tag, we can verify your finish.

Hello
i just picked these up recently, not the most perfect shape but I’m planning to touch up the cabinets and probably do the simply speakers recone kit on the KD16 passive radiators. I know there are a few chips on the edges but plan to do a light sand to clean up the finish. What could I use for a light stain to replicate the original oak?
Also, I cannot find any factory risers, so I bought some feet to get them off the ground at least.
thanks in advance for your replies.
Light Oak.

I bought a pair new from a local dealer back in 1999,set them up took off the grills and noticed 1 broken mid range horn. called the dealer
and he brought a new pair with matching numbers. Still have them today with no more problems.
That sucks but I am glad the dealer took care of you. It seems the thin plastic on the Mid horn is no match for the heavy driver, even when new.

Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando TapatalkIt is a gasket that belongs between the mid-range driver and the plastic horn to seal it.

That looks like an easy fix little bit of superglue and you're good to go.
Those horns are ridiculously flimsy compared to older forte II and Chorus II horns and would likely benefit from added damping material
I have found that out the hard way. Cheap plastic and 30 years of age are not a good combination.
I think I will go for a 2 part epoxy, they broke in a good spot compared to others I have seen. The epoxy should hold until I find a replacement.

If I replace the diaphragm from Bob would it still sound the same as the other two tweeters?
I would check with Bob to see if you would want to change them all out.
Here is his link.

how did they break off - that's really odd - were they hit hard while on the road -------horns just do not break off that easily -
I don't know. I bought them off a guy that had them in a storage unit. He transported them from Florida in a moving van. The one thing I did not do during the inspection and will do in the future is shine a flashlight in the mid horn to verify the magnet is still attached. The could have been broke when I bought them. They definitely were not bumped during the ride home in my wife's SUV. I was bummed but got a great deal. Moving on, just looking for another horn.
Also, if you search, it happens a lot more often than you think.

There is a guy in Delaware parting out klf30's. No affiliation and don't know if he is selling horns. Here is a link to one of his CL ads.

Thank you for the link, I messaged him.

The 30's sound better than I thought they would. I have had the KLF-20's in the past but the 30's are on a whole different level. I was gonna flip these but after I heard them, I decided to keep them. I will try and glue them back together but it would be temporary at best. I'll find another horn soon.
As noted above, I did have one good spare and a second spare that has a small corner crack that will work for now.

I found some 30's yesterday...
During transport both the Mid-range drivers cracked off the horns. I had them on a blanket in the wife's SUV, laying on the backs. Needless to say, I am quite bummed. I did have one spare in stock but I am still in need of one plastic horn. There are others that will fit the K-52 driver such as a KLF-20.
If anyone has one, please PM me. (Chorus II behind the 30 for size comparison. The 30's are big)
Thanks.

I would suggest try to make a Heresy work by turning it on its side if it's too tall.

I recall, not too many years ago, how $400 would have had original Forte I change hands.
I hear ya, the last couple years has the used market going crazy with high prices. Hard to find anything cheap now.

They are in great shape but $1400 is way high. $750 -$800 would be a realistic price.

Not mine.. No grills.

$500 - $800 depending on location.
