hel-stampes Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Is asked Duelund for an upgrade for my K-Horns (year2003). They asked me this : Can you determine if any cap, resistor or inductors are placed in series with the drivers. And what value is printed on them. How can I get these informations ? Thanks to all Johan F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Contact Bob Crites (BEC on this Forum). He will be able to help you with that information, and can offer advice regarding the caps, inductors, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I asked Duelund for an upgrade for my K-Horns (year2003). As you can see, the network has a rather high part count, and some of the values are fairly large -- you will have to mortgage your home to have the networks rebuilt with their capacitors. I think you should replace the capacitors and resistors in the midrange and tweeter sections with Audience Auricaps -- which would be a monumental improvement over the mylars those networks currently employ.

hel-stampes Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Thank you, Dean. As I'm not an expert, I would need to find someone in the know to do the job. What improvements may I expect from such a replacement ? Yours Johan F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Cleaner, smoother -- more relaxed and open sounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc-Fin Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Dean: Do you happen to have a similar schematic for an AA crossover with the inductance and dcr values? TNX CUL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The midrange stll has a 30 and 100 uF caps. Kind of pricy with Audience isn't it? Do you suggest using a 1 or 3 uF Audience bypassing a cheaper cap to make up the difference? In the alternative, would Clarity Caps be an upgrade to the caps that Klipsch uses? Their PX are very reasonable and their SA are not that expensive for their performance.

Deang Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I've used a lot of different capacitors. Of the metallized polypropylenes I've tried, and I think I've tried just about all of them -- the Auricaps and Kimbers produce the best results. I'm OEM with Audience, which takes some of the sting out of the pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
