thanx for the reply.from the back both look the same color.wonder if one was just left in the sun ungrilled and the sun bleaced it.just a thought

there is a pair of k22s on ebay that i am thinking about getting.does anyone see a problem with the cones being different colors?i mean what does this mean ,do you think one was reconed?i need them only because i bought an old pair of heresys that never sounded right.i finally looked inside to find 12" marked "made in japan" 100 watt 4ohm speakers in both of them.all the other drivers are klipsch anyway im hoping these k22s might sound better thanx

hi again all tones are set flat, bass and treble at high noon.also they make the same cracking noise with two different amps.this has been going on for a while ,i just found this forum to ask the question ,which is why i am asking. believe it or not i prefer the sound of properly sounding klipschs to anything .i am a pro musician and use nothing but jbl s in that . so if anyone knows of someone in the nyc area that might be able to get at least one pair of klipschs working right it would make me happy the caps in the crossover idea sounds interesting i wonder if anyone else thinks that sounds like it might be that. thanx again alll dc

thank you all for your input the speakers (all four) are about 20 years old maybe older all four make the noise the noise is identical from both pairs of speakers i would call it more of a crack sound but you could call it popping i have also tryed an soild state kenwood amp too and it also makes the noise the noise is only at high volume the amp usually used is an old macintosh i am in nyc area anyone know of a knowlegeable tech nearby please let me know i have tryed asking a few techs and most(you can tell sometimes)dont have a clue what they are doing.so i dont want someone like that again thanx for all your help dc

i have a pair of old hereseys and also an old pair of cornwalls that both make a very loud popping sound that sounds like it is coming from the mid range section,especially during bassier parts of a tune if i play the same amp thru a pair of old jbl s they sound fine so i dont think it is the amp. anyone have any ideas? thanx i appreciate any help dc
