  1. At this time would only sell if it would cover the expenses of buying or building new cabinets for them .
  2. Type e seems great because I’ll just have to take the 4uf caps out of circut and leave in the 2uf
  3. Thanks for all of this info, it’s always been my intention to sit with them working for a bit before doing any work. I have managed to fix them and have been listening to them. It does seem that they are not voiced for indoor home use but I will wait longer so do more research
  4. I’m definitely in this journey for the learning experience , and achieving what I want for personal use w my current means. not for klipsch purity
  5. I suppose I could do what your suggesting and I will seriously consider that. I guess I just had a diy mindset about getting them where I wanted them instead of reselling them, because I am excited about them. also thought that people did not want the wedges, so I would be giving them a new life. The repairs for my job are not what I am here to talk about , confused about why you are questioning that.
  6. i understand the concern of flipping for profit but I’m really just trying to make these work for me in a daily use application. The seller I am considering owns a stereo showroom and would replace with what he said were the correct drivers . I suppose I could suggest just a trade + cash to keep the these original The wedges are preferred over the living room speakers ? I’ve never heard this opinion. I just want to be able to not have my living room look like the pro audio section of guitar center . Anyways , your in a position of working klipsch ownership and have heard lots of models, I am just trying to get these going so I can hear my first set. I’ll have them fixed before I have the cabs sold and I’ll be able to sit with them
  7. I feel like I am “getting a part to make them right”. using components from an undesirable (not functional- crackling and cut outs) pro audio setup to convert them to speakers that are will be used every day for personal use bothers you? And so does selling them in the alternative scenario that they aren’t right for me ….? (Spoke about this in another thread) . Advice is appreciated but this logic is hard to follow with the information I have now
  8. Hey ! I have 2 local offers on the gutted cabinets and I just listed them this morning but I understand the concern and appreciate the advice. i am interested in using the money and either making new cabinets to spec , or ordering the living room models cabs online (there’s a set online right now I am negotiating with) seems like converting to AA would be ideal for my application in that case
  9. Yes I do audio repair professionally and also take issue with that practice . I wasn’t feeling attacked , just wanted to say what was up. i think that’s fair game if buying broken gear , repairing , and turning profit . But that’s different … although one of these does need repair …
  10. Thanks for the opportunity to grab these drivers at a price I could achieve! I am really so excited about getting these going. Have a nice day
  11. Hello , it was me. I am restoring the crossover/ connections and have plans to build more tasteful boxes for traditional heresy use . I will probably be selling the unloaded cabs , and maybe any original capacitors that test in spec if I end up doing a recap. I did not purchase these speakers to flip them, they are for personal use. hope that eases your mind
