    Maybe I'll try to unscrew them one day. Didn't pay much attention inside the cabinets when I was bracing.

    Maybe the CF2's are different. These carpet spikes for the CF3's are definitely metal. I would guess that at some point in their lives they had the plastic covers for floors other than carpet but those are long gone.

    BTW, my CF2 won't accept spikes, the feet are just hard rubber nubs.

     

    Nice score on those CF3!

    Hi DirtyErnie,

    Thanks! I have the CF3's all sanded down and ready for stain now. The feet on the CF3's just screw into the bottom of the cabinets, I am surprised Klipsch didn't use metal inserts like they did on other models.

    My guess would be that the one w/o the screen is likely just a very early production model? Possibly a different supplier/vendor???

     

    The old spec sheets have the CF series produced from 94-96... it's hard to believe there was so much variation in  such a short amount of time?

    The CF3 and CF4 with the K-63-KN were produced 1994 - 1996. The CF2 with the K-64-KN was produced 1994-1996.  The  KV4 with the K-64-KN was produced 1996 - 1997. I wonder if anyone has the CF2 with the silver K-64-KN? Did Klipsch have an excess of K-64-KN's they needed to unload for a year and produced the KV4? The high end of the KV4 is the same as the CF2 36Hz-20kHz(+-)3dB vs KV4 65Hz-20kHz(+-)3dB. ? The CF3 is 35Hz-20kHz(+-)3dB and the CF4 is 34Hz-20kHz(+-)3dB.

    1. What do you mean by "silver (not black)"? If it's just painted vs unpainted then I wouldn't worry about but if there are other, more extreme, physical differences then I would maybe hold off?

    2. The screen is basically a bug/dust shield. It isn't needed but I have never seen one of these drivers without it? I have seen the K52H with and without a screen though. The difference is audible but not drastic and only really affects the very top end.

    3. I have never seen any released specs for the driver but I also have never seen a part number for the driver on it's own. 

    Hi CANT,

    Thank you for your reply.

    1) & 2)..The K-63 & K-64 are identical other than the color and the screen over the driver throat on the K-64-KN.

    I snagged the K-64-KN due to the rarity of the tweeter drivers and lack of new diaphragms after I saw one for sale. I also read the thread with you mentioning they were the same driver.

    I am hoping the K-63 & the K-64 are the same but the screen has me stumped. I am hoping that Roy Delgado will see this this thread and confirm if it will work or not. I am wondering if the K-63 and K-64 will get along or should I find another K-64 so they match?

    I have attached a couple pictures for those that have never seen both together, The K-64-KN is on the left.

    I've updated the post... only one left now

    Hi CANT,

    Old thread but I just recently acquired a set of CF3 version 1 with the K-63-KN tweeter diaphragms. Unfortunately, 1 of the tweeters is blown.

    I have a couple questions for you.

    You had mentioned the K-64-KN is the same tweeter as the K-63-KN but re-labeled for other horn assemblies. (CF2, KV4)

    I found a K-64-KN tweeter and would like to use it for my CF3. There are a couple differences, the K-64 is silver (not black) and the driver throat has a silver screen under the gasket. Do you know why the screen is there? Is it necessary? The K-63 does not have one.

    Did you or anyone ever see the specs of the drivers to see if the frequency response was different?

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the link billybob. I have a roll of that that I used on my Ultimax sub build. This is a foam tape.

    The stuff used on the CF3's is a putty tape. I have some Butyl tape from my RV repairs and it seems very similar. Just trying to confirm if anyone that has removed the front motor board reapplied new sealant. I would just glue it back on but it would take quite a bit of time to remove it from the groove on the motor board.

    Steaks prepared inside

    Cast iron is the preferred method to cook steaks at our house too.

    I use a jaccard tenderizer on all my meat (steak, chicken, pork ect..) prior to cooking, makes things very tender. I like to season steaks with black pepper and Garlic salt.

    Preheat the pan on the burner at med high heat to almost smoking, add a teaspoon of Avocado oil and heat the oil until it shimmers.

    2 1/2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare perfection.

    Love my cast iron pan, even though the smoke detector usually goes off. lol

    Congrats!  Are you the one who was debating between these and the Forte II's this week?

    Hi Shaun K,

    Thanks for the congrats. Not me debating, different guy.

    I have had Klipsch for years. I bought my Walnut Oil Chorus II's new back in 1992 (front channel) I also have 2 sets of Walnut Oil Forte II's (one set for rears), A set of KLF-20's in Black Satin (for sale) , a  KLF-C7 Black Satin (center), and a set of black KG 4.5's. Also a groove for the camper.

    WTB: CF-3 K-63-KN tweeter

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    Hi, 

    I acquired a set of CF-3 version 1's today for a great deal. One speaker is fine, the other has issues. ( K-63-KN tweeter is blown.)

    Would anyone happen to have any parts?

     Bob Crites is unable to get the diaphragms anymore as I just checked with him.

    Thanks in advance for any replies.
