  1. Thanks for the replies. I'll continue to keep them.
  2. I have a 40 year old pair of Klipschorn's (original owner). How would their sound compare to a new pair of Forte IV's? Thanks.
  3. I had a question a few weeks ago that I sent in via email and it was answered via email the next day. With all the virus issues actual human response will be slowed down when contacting most any company. I haven't called Klipsch in over 20 years prior to this and always got through to a human (good old days).
  4. I agree. I don't see name listed in original post.
  5. I'm also confused. If the poster bought them from the original owner and doesn't plan to sell them what is he purpose? He knows who he bought from, but he wants to confirm who he bought from?
  6. If you're the original owner of the speakers simply call Klipsch and give them the serial numbers. If registered they can tell you (or at least they used to be able). I called them a few years after my purchase and had a question about the top box horns. They asked for the serial # and then could tell me how they were built. Quality service. I believe all Heritage Series speakers had sequential serial numbers as Klipsch used to build them and test them as a pair (at least when PWK was alive).
  7. Thanks for the responses. This sounds like a winter project to tackle. Lookin through my old Dope From Hope sheets they should have Type AA crossovers. I'm handy with a soldering iron - built an old Dynaco 400 amp many years ago. Will the above listed dealer ship specific components or do they only do the repair in house? Do you have to remove the crossover from the top box or can the changeout be done with crossover in place? How many capacitors involved and approximate cost. Has anyone done this? What is the audio impact with new caps? I'm 71 so my ears aren't as golden compared to my youth but I still know good sound when I hear it. Again thanks for any help. New to this forum and its very helpful.
  8. I ordered my Klipschorns new back in 1981. It took about one month for then to arrive at my dealer. Included in each box was a warranty sheet I filled out giving my name address, etc. So unless the original owner registered the speakers in a like manner Klipsch wont have a name on record. I know my dealer has since gone out of business and your speakers are four years older so they might be gone as well. Best wishes.
  9. Brand new member here. First post. I am the original owner of a pair of Klipschorns that were made in March 1981. They still sound great but I was wondering how long the speaker crossovers last. They will be 40 years old in a few months. I've never abused the speakers or had any electrical thumps, pops, etc. hit the speakers. The only thing different on them is I changed out the the internal wiring with Monster Cable. I also stapled vinyl floorboard molding to the back of the speaker to get good corner sealing. Thanks for any help.
