Sorry I couldn't sell you my pair last month, but I'm glad you at least got my KV4. That's gonna be a kickass system. Congrats on finding those ones in Monroe, wild that another pair popped up so quick.

Sold.

Thanks for the heads up. Truth be told, I was getting pretty medium responses so I let the craigslist ad lapse, but I'm meeting a buyer tonight for the CF4's and will possibly post the KV4 under it's own thread after the holidays.

Bump for price drop. $1500 for the CF4's, $1750 with the KV4.

Hi All. Selling a pair of CF-4's in Cherry, serial numbers from October 1994. Have owned these for about 3 years now. Since owning them I've replaced the woofer circuit electrolytics with big Solen caps, changed the tweeter padding resistors for Mundorf MResist Classics, and added store-brand Dynamat to the back of the horns. They sound and look fantastic, but my new house can only handle so many different pairs of speakers, so I've got to thin out the herd. I'll link photos here later, but for now I can post my local Craigslist link. https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ele/d/seattle-klipsch-epic-cf4-cherry/7404842625.html I'm asking $1800, but if you also buy my KV4 center channel you can have the set for $2000. Here's the ad for the KV4: https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ele/d/seattle-klipsch-kv-center-channel/7411951046.html Speakers are in Seattle, WA. I'm not willing to ship at this time due to size and handling risk, but I may be convinced to drive a fair distance (<100 miles) to meet serious buyers. Any delivery arrangement will include a substantial deposit up front, as I have been burned too many times. *edit: price drop* *edit 2: CF4 Pending, will make new post for KV4*

I won't say that I can hear the difference between the electrolytic caps and the film caps I put in there, but I'm glad to be rid of 25+ year old electrolytics. Also, the tweeter caps were all film with black bodies and yellow ends. I think they look like the Bennic XPP line. These appear to be original based on the solder joints and the installation.

I recently did a partial rebuild of my CF-4 crossovers. I ran into the same budget constraints that you talked about. All I ended up doing was the two large caps in the woofer circuit with cheapish Solen film caps, and replacing the resistor in series with the tweeter with a mundorf classic. That added up to about $175 if I remember correctly. I also used some low-value Auricaps to get the capacitance back to spec since I couldn't get the Solens in the exact values I needed. I would definitely replace that resistor, and leave some air-gap between it and the board.

I know this thread is >6 months old, but if you're still looking for CF-4s in the Puget Sound I just listed some on Craigslist in Seattle. PM me here or on craigslist. Here's the link: https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ele/d/seattle-klipsch-epic-cf-cherry/7404842625.html

Someone didn't mind the number of the beast.

Selling a pair of Epic CF-2 speakers with the cherry veneer. I bought these to build a 5.1 home theater with my CF4's as fronts and a KV4 as the center. My new apartment doesn't really allow for surround speakers, so I'm selling these and I'll be proceeding with a 3.1 HT setup instead. These are not sequentially numbered, but were built within 30 units of each other. This has led, in part, to a slight difference in color between the two units. Asking for $300 OBO, located in Seattle.

Nice homemade stands. I ran into the same problem. All the commercially available speaker stands were either 1) too tall; 2) too small platform area; or 3) too dang expensive, or any combination of all three options. So I went to my local architectural salvage looking for some sturdy wood and ended up leaving with a large slab of 2" thick plywood. I cut them into what resemble small end tables and put some thick hairpin legs on them. I kind of like the way it looks with the layers of the plywood exposed, and I could always go back and trim them out for aesthetics.

I think you were comparing different caps from the different boards. The purple one in the foreground is 20uF, but you can see the purple cap in the background ends in a 3. They look like the exact same crossover, except they used a higher voltage rating on the KV4. Tons of reasons to do this, like maybe the supplier ran out of 100V caps and they went up to the next rating, or there's common parts that use 150V caps so it makes sense from a stockroom standpoint to only keep inventory for 150V caps and use them everywhere.

What are your plans for that horn? Or are you trying to find an aftermarket replacement?

CF2 owner. Yes, the flange on the horn is 10x6.75 inches.

I don't think that's how it works. Area of a circle is pi times the radius squared. Two 12 inch woofers have a combined area of 226 square inches, which is equivalent to a single 17 inch woofer. A single 18 inch woofer has 254 square inches. Every time a speaker doubles in diameter, the area quadruples.
