Redpackman Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Thanks for the tip, Moray. What, if some damping material is to be used, would you recommend, some sort of fiber-fill, like they use in pillows? I assume that's totally safe. I assume too that leaving the fiberglass or rock wool in sealed speaker cabinets is OK ( AR, KLH, Advent etc. etc.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivervalleymgb Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Found the patent application for the pair I have. From what I can find out, the cabinet was changed when Klipsch threatened legal action against Beta Sound. http://pdfpiw.uspto.gov/.piw?PageNum=0&docid=D0253649&IDKey=B7DAA316EF42&HomeUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fpatft.uspto.gov%2Fnetacgi%2Fnph-Parser%3FSect2%3DPTO1%2526Sect2%3DHITOFF%2526p%3D1%2526u%3D%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html%2526r%3D1%2526f%3DG%2526l%3D50%2526d%3DPALL%2526S1%3DD253649.PN.%2526OS%3DPN%2FD253649%2526RS%3DPN%2FD253649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Looks nothing like any Klipsch model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivervalleymgb Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Beta Sound made almost a clone of the Heresy. Klipsch forced them to change the desing. Mine is the changed design. redpackman has the earlier version. Beta Sound also made the first Cornscala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 "Beta Sound made almost a clone of the Heresy" What? A two cu ft box with a 12 in it? So Ford should sue GM for making a car with four wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivervalleymgb Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 You have to remember that the early 045 were an exact copy of the Heresy. Dealers in the late 70's that couldn't become a Klipsch dealer sold Beta Sound. I am going off 40 year-old memories of conversations with Bob Moers and PWK. I know they were in legal conversations with the two owners of Beta Sound over ripping off Klipsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
