I was looking at the KLF 30 schematic. The KLF 20 schematic is tiny in the crosssover thread.
Just leave it alone, they do not need to be the same brand. Electrolytics are usually made by a different manufacturer anyway. In that position you can use an electrolytic, this is per the guy that designs these.
Got it. I'll leave the caps as is.

Why do you want to change caps if you said this?
"I think they are a wonderful speaker with the mods done. The bass is not to over bearing but punchy enough for me. Highs are smooth and almost silk feel."
The 80 uf should be paralleled with the Daytons to equal 97uf per the schematic.
Per Roy, the Chorus and Fortes can use electrolytics parallel to the woofers. Others claim to hear a difference, but I will go with the person who designed the networks.
The 80uf is not a Dayton cap. I checked the schematic it says 80uf. Not 97uf. Wondering if I should match it with a Dayton? I don't want to change anything unless it makes them better.

Hey guys, I took off the woofer to see what was done on the crossover. He replaced the caps with Dayton Audio except the 80uf (MDL) one as you see in the pictures. Should I replace them with Sonicaps or change the 80uf only?

I'd take the 20's over Heresy's any day you did good look to KLF-30's or Chorus II's if you want to "move up" from there without getting into the large footprint models.
If given the chance to obtain some KLF30s and some Heresys plus the Chorus to try them all out at the same time,that would be something else.

Congrats! I hope they work out for you.
I finally got to listen to a few tracks on them. I think they are a wonderful speaker with the mods done. The bass is not to over bearing but punchy enough for me. Highs are smooth and almost silk feel. I will get some more hrs in tonight and enjoy them. Good call by everyone to get them.

Way to carp that diem!
...there is no worse feeling than “what if?”
Exactly what I thinking the night before, "whait if they are good and I miss out".

Just to let everyone know, I picked them up. Tough 11 hour commute both ways for these bad boys. They are in excellent condition. I will comment on them tomorrow when I hook them up for a session. Im burnt right now.

That is the key. Takes time. Also, if you find a pair do not sell them again. I sold some beautiful JBL Centurys that I fixed up. Bought a pair in much worse shape last year and put a lot of time into fixing them up, should have kept the prior pair.
Do you have a back wall where you can lien up the speakers that are not in use?
That was a picture just show what I had at the time. The Reference 6 Infinitys are sold. The small bookshelfs are in another room. I'm only using the 1030s as of now. I have a pair of Mirage upstairs too for HT.

@John kal, there are usually some pretty sweet audio deals to be had around Montreal and Quebec City.
I have contemplated the same drive as you several times over the years.
But just when I am about to commit to a day long journey something equal or better comes up in Sudbury, Ottawa, or Windsor and saves me a few hours.
"There is no replacement for displacement."
The biggest horns and the largest woofer(s) are where you will wind up.
300 watts will bring out the best of those KLF 20s in terms of bass.
When I switched from a 150w/channel NAD C370 to a 300w/channel Emotiva XPA-2 the difference in the bass of my Chorus 2s was anything but subtle.
As I said, that is a very fair price on those 20s, if everything else is good. You could probably sell them for at least that in a year if/when you find something bigger. Free rent, minus the gas...
Thanks for the kind words. I'm happy that most of the people agree that they're good speakers. It's up to me now to decide to go or not.

You seem to already have a collection of speakers.
OK, so you like bass but have a subwoofer. The other characteristic is clarity of the highs. You will probably like Klipsch speakers, but the flooring might make them a little bright.
Chorus II or La Scalas would be nice in that room but somewhat pricey.
The other issue is to find a good used pair. Not ready to dish out for new ones yet.

Since nobody has asked, what do you like about the Koss 1030s?
Can you describe the sound?
Also, you room. How big, dimensions, carpeted, etc?
The room is a 20x24 approx. Tv wall has wood paneling, floors are tiles but I have a carpet in front of the system. I sit about 8 feet away. I like the clarity of the highs on these speakers. They're not to bassy but I use a sub to help out.

Hmm, those KLFs will probably blow your mind then.
That's the feedback I like. Thanks.

I just looked up the Koss 1030. Pretty sure it won't be too hard to best those.
The funny thing is that these 1030s have beat out some others I've brought home. LOL!

you have the money , buy the new RP-8000F , they are not too expensive , not even comparable , heck even the KLF-20 will blow the Koss 1030-
That's the comment I want to hear. That they will blow the Koss 1030s away.

I am doing the same thing.
The key is to collect a few pair and rotate them in and out and appreciate each speaker for what they are. I just finished some JBL Century's and and enjoying playing with them, but they definitely do not sound ad good as what is normally in the spot.
I've done that many times. Then I keep saying to myself, if these are not as good why bother. Time to sell. I hate collecting audio equipment if I don't use it.

Will never work. You have some fine equipment already. I went overboard on a two channel system years ago, realized that it was overkill and sold most of it off and I am now happy with something that is not quite as crazy.
I'm happy with the equipment. I always want to try better speakers. lol. It's always speakers. I'm always on the look out for the higher end 80s,90s 2000s speakers.

Sounds like you will change them out if you rotate out that quickly. Not a criticism as most of us here own at least 7 or 8 sets of speakers. Just make sure the drive is OK and you can get your money back out of them.
Otherwise, if you are in or near a big city, finding local deals is the way to go.
As an aside, concentrating on another hobby seems to make me not want to change speakers.
The problem is I read to much online. Too many opionions and I want to see if they're right. Chasing that sound that I'm problably never going to find unless I have 250K in a system. At least the hunt for the right speaker is kind of fun.
-
It seems as of now I've been through 7 or 8 sets of speakers in the last few years. Maybe I'm buying ones that are not to my taste. It's always the same thing. Not the right sound. I've never tried Klipsch so again I'm trying something just to see. I have a pair of Koss 1030s that I do enjoy.

yeah , Quebec to Ontario via the 401 is terrible .
The drive is fine, not worried about that. I'm thinking are they good enough or worth the hassle to go that far. Will I want to change them next year like I do with all the rest.

Which amplifiers do you like to power KLF-30's?
in 2-Channel Home Audio
Posted
I have the KLF 20s and powering them with a Yamaha M80 which has plenty of power for whatever I'm playing. But when I'm listening to jazz or funk I use the Willsenton R8 that sounds fabulous with the KLFs. Tubes and Klipsch go hand in hand with great sonics.
