[AK3 crossover recaped]

well was is the most important think about these Khorn ????

It is that the sound is now getting much better....

Is it the  caps running ????

Is me enjoying them more and more ????

I do not know but I am not changing anything more for the moment.....I will just appreciate them.....

Until...................who knows.............we will see.......

Cheers to you all.

 as you say......the jacket became gooey sticky.......well this is not at all the case with my cables......

[AK3 crossover recaped]

well you all seems very anxious about that.....

If the soldering is properly done as I am sure it was well done at the factory....there must not be any corrosion......so the connection is just fine      no ?

 

BY the way what cable did you choose to make the replacement ?

 

[AK3 crossover recaped]

maybe or maybe not......

[AK3 crossover recaped]

Well I had the same situation  on other monster cable I  used to connect other speakers and it never went further...so as it is only a very tiny portion close to the end and as the conection is just perfect...i will not touch anything yet. I do not think this is a problem.

My wire in fine all the long.

@ Rodolpk6

Well i tried both but I didn't find a difference in quality......

@ mark1101

it is very very small and only at the beginning of the cable where there maybe a slight oxygenation  the plastic of all the cable  is strong...so no I do not have that problem.

This problem is happening when the cable plastique protection is falling apart....it is not my case.

great congrats !

[AK3 crossover recaped]

well obviously as one tweeter was dead and that most of the caps were out of original specification because too old.......I can say that now my Khorns are working correctly.

I am now using them to see slowly how they can fit at the best in the room and also maybe waiting a bit for the caps running in....

Hi Rodolpk6

Nice job.

How do you feel with them compared to your Belles ?

You bought them from Serge from Le forum bleue ? 

 

[Klipsch speaker Impedance curves]

How this thread is very technical.....sorry too much for me. 

So for my 1990 Khorns what impedance should i choose ? 4 or 8 ohms ? on my Almarro 318 B ?

Thank you for your help

HI,

I just finished to recap my Khorn AK3 from 1991 with Bob Crites kit.

I also change the diaphragm on one K77M

@Milk

Well as we did for me maybe you should check the serial number of the Woofer 

[new Klipschorn owner]

I have put them on the 19 ft wall with the false corner. I am only changing caps not the crossover.

 

[new Klipschorn owner]

@ Shakey my room is 5.20X5.90x3.00 m so it is something like 17ftX19.36ft and the hight is 9.84 ft so i think it is correct.

[new Klipschorn owner]

ok folks.......mistery is solved !

Thank you.

I am now waiting for the K77M diaphragm and the Crossover Repair Kits from Bob Crites.

Does anyone have done that ?

@ mustang_flht

Thank you or your help but as you can see it doesn't fit with the document you use.....

@ Skelt

Thank you for that so I am the second one to get a "special" unknown serial number......

@ RandyH000

Thank you for the info...i cannot find stamped or marked on the tweeter or the midrange; but there is a lable on the woofer . I think I read : K33 13162 or 15162 4ohms and below 67- 711601350G2

see the picture

@ Seadog

Yes I know all that and of course this is why I am working on the Khorn.......

 

 

[new Klipschorn owner]

I think my CW3 are fanstastic.

Well i am not very happy with the horns yet...but one tweeter is dead so I need to change the diaphragm and I have ordered new caps for the AK3...

So I hope to improve them

[new Klipschorn owner]

the speakers are K77M square magnet, K55M and K33.

They have been bought new in Saudi Arabia in 1995 from the offical Klisch dealer.

To Budman why do you say 1990 ?

Thank you for your help

Hi every one,

I am happy to have bought on Ebay old Khorn Ak3

I am still using a pair of Cornwall 3 and the idea was to improve my listening by this update.

First-of all I could not "read" the serial number to learn about the date of production. 

Can you help me ?
