Thread resurrection. There is a project cabinet here and I was going to ask you or someone (c/o @MicroMara) what is the right way to: 1. or s there a way to change color from black to natural color that originally has a textured or grainy finish like what's in the picture. 2. change from originally an 8 inch woofer driver to a 7 inch in the best way I can. I just don't want to use a filler like the one they use for a car that I might crack in long term. I want to maintain that acoustic natural sound as close as can to original. 3. My other driver option is changing the original klipsch 8" poly cone woofer to a paper cone woofer for personal sound preference. I was looking at this driver since the klipsch woofer has a DC resistance of 3.4 ohms. Dayton Audio RS225P-4A 8" Reference Paper Woofer 4 Ohm Upon removing and measuring everything to change the woofer, it is not just a drop-in and there will be a lot of modification to install the new 8" woofer due to its incompatibility of the klipsch's non standard woofer cut out. As I previously mentioned, I can also go down to a 7 inch woofer, in fact prefer the sound of this more and I found a promising woofer in this size. Dayton Audio RS180P-4 7" Reference Paper Woofer 4 Ohm 3. Another option question is if the original polypropylene woofer can be recone to a paper or any paper treated cone? In this way, I have the same cut-out and performance or of the original woofer with the difference of a paper cone. Please advise and thank you.

Bump.. Anyone for sale?

Hi, I live in Oregon (36 miles south of Portland) and looking for a pair in clean and excellent working condition. Looks like in the picture. I prefer the red cabinet (which is this color). Pick up or ship it to me and I'll pay for everything. If you have it let me know and thanks. CCG

Hi, This might be a hit and miss. Do you still have those ksf-8.5 tower speakers? Thanks, CCG

There's nothing like buying your very first mid or hifi in a store back 'like in the 80's. Bought my very first Nakamichi BX-125 in 1983 saving money for 5 months off of my 2 part time jobs and a college student. Maybe the internet nowadays have lots more selection. But the missing ingredients is being there and sharing it with people you know, friends and family. By earning and purchasing my first deck, I was able to learn so much techniques in recording and up to know I still do and own lots of analog music library that became a holy grail in sound collections. Really memorable and like something that money cant buy. Today I still get that old school excitement being in a hi-end hi fi store while enjoying with family and friends. Me and the wife are heading to Japan in October for the hi fidelity districts and the mecca food bazaar. It should be a fun trip!

Very nice pictures. Have you been there before? If you haven't and your'e planning to go, you can visit Adelphi and you're in for a treat on Hi Fidelity.

I am so truly sorry for your lost. Its a family and it will never go away. Just remember, you did everything you can and most important he knows you love him. That's the best gift you can ever have. My condolences.

That will give me wider view on my next approach of future speaker cab in my home outside the states. I just want to use the simplest like 1 cabinet per channel and no subs. In my living room its 625 sq. ft. and I'm using a klipsch 8 inch tower and its just perfect for my listening. I like the speakers to work at its full potential so it works out on low and high volumes. In my home overseas my listening area is 985 sq ft. its kind of long ways. I'm not so sure if its a toss between a 12 or 15 inch speakers. The reason why I said 15 inch, because in my younger days, I use to make custom boxes and install car stereo. I have made maybe over 400 boxes. The one that I really like the sound the most is either 8 or a 15". I was thinking if the the 15 inch is too big for a 1000 sq ft, I might have to design a band pass box or a different order. I think I remember now the sound of a passive radiator. I just havent made one since the late 80's. Anyways thank you for the follow-up. CCG

Love the selections. The time when Kool and the Gang are making real classic albums. #3 song brings out the 300b sound.

It might be personal preference.

I read pretty much all your postings. I want to ask you what is your room size? Is your forte has passive radiator? Just want to get an idea on referring to my future purchase. Thanks CCG.

Congrats. Looks very nice!

Congrats. Looks very neat.

I use this on my car. It rocks! https://rumble.com/embed/v29n2ja/?pub=1kdc9m
