  1. Oh me bad -- Xovers both are good, a tweeter is dead. After precise checking. Sticker says Klipsch K-76-K Should I search for exact K76 diaphragm or there are the same specs but different model name, interchangebles?
  2. No I didn't measure tweeter only Хover. When visiting technician I had to but didn't take tweeter with me. Guy said buy a meter it's cheap or use 1,5 V AA When I interchange tweeters they both work on one speaker or both don't on another. I mean I don't have multimeter, yet to obtain...
  3. not yet. technician checked crossover with meter and other driver - works ok. I don't know which next steps should I do. Anyway I would rewire - maybe it would solve possible connection issue, I rather doubt. Tried to check tweeter with AA battery - no effect or sound or what I should notice...
  4. Yes I know) I used those for building full-range project (Coral flat 8). It was from scratch making cabinets and setting driver so I could reach indepth for damping or so. Fo these Klipsches likely to keep intact as much as possible) Manufacturer's plate bears lesser info, signatures faded. Horn stickers say 1997.
  5. Oh really? Thanks! The problem is cabinet material seems too fragile for multiple in/out screwing times..
  6. Hi, owning a good pair of HII, bought from another guy. Removed crossover for tests and puzzeld about connecting drivers. Tweeter has '+' mark but woofer and squawker don't. Honestly I was almost sure it must be marked. Yes I did write down +/- position for woofer not for skuawker... Skuawker position in cabinet is exact because of horn form but the woofer can be rotated and left/right contact pins become right/left when facing down. I see some hand written marks on drivers - a pink dot and golden stroke. I suppose they are not pointing out a plus though... Should I mount woofer pins up and connect all +'s right pins (looking from back)? Why should I put out crossover? One tweeter dosn't work. Actually it does, both tweeters work on one speaker and no one doesn't on another. Crossover passed tested well... Hi-freq section works well but tweeters don't...
  7. Salutes! I love my new RB-61 but seems I need some 'bigger' sound of Klipsch family. Heard commercial KP-201 that my friend owns, it's too powerfull and 'open' for 20 sq. m room, after all I love RB's more smooth and wide sound signature. Since room is limited I'm considering big bookshelf with front port. Wondering if 75's are really significantly ahead of 81's. They are quite rare, so what do I miss if buying 81? Would it be a compromise? Cannot audition both though, so had to purchase blindly.... Is there a big gap between those two? I mean a pleasure of listening to, not just bass/treble quantity.
  8. Hi all! I'm looking for advices to find proper amplifier for my Klipsch R-14M for movies in a rather small room. I was using budget Pioneer 515 - okay but 1) I got rid of multichannel 2) this receiver is kind of 'lifeless' so I wish to have a good stereo rig (watching mostly vintage classics stereo/mono with more dialogues and music, less FX. I'm unconcerned about sound effects). Since room is small, I'm close to projection screen and speakers, R-14M are more than enough. So I'd love to have better vintage sound. Amplifier alone or with radio (Marantz receiver?) perhaps up to $500 used... but with magic in sound and proper wattage. Sweet, fat, detailed and powerful enough. (I just have not a clue what would be 'enough' for R-14M - 50W? 100?) From 70's Sugden or 90's like Rotels or Adcom...
