longdrive03 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Members 73 444 posts Location: Little Rock , AR Posted August 11 · Report post These were originally birch plywood with exposed layer plywood cabinets. After sanding smooth and cutting out the corner trim notches I installed quartered figured eucalyptus veneer and solid teak corner trim and install side to side and back internal bracing and made new slanted risers with matching veneer. I installed neo magnets under the front board veneer and made new 1/2" grill frames and installed banana plug terminals. Redid the E2 xovers with Solen 400VDC caps and bypass cap on parallel woofer cap. First time using this veneer and I'm spraying with satin lacquer and rub down with finishing wax. I listed the redo/build thread in technical modification forum. Also has matching 2" angled risers which are not screwed into the speaker bottoms. Will finish the grill frame tonight which uses neo magnets for attachment and post soon. Shipping is extra. Thanks. $625.00 to forum members . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longdrive03 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Thanks Schu. I like the veneer. Not too dark, not too light. It's just right said the bear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longdrive03 Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 SOLD!!!!!! Thanks for all the compliments guys!! I appreciate it. Just sold them to a forum member. I've got one more set of cabinets and tweeters but need some K22 woofers, mid drivers and crossovers to get a complete set. I used the woofers and crossover for a larger Heresy build for a forum member in Chicago. Need to decide what veneer to use this time. Maybe quartered figured etimoe, birdseye maple, rosewood or something else??? Love doing the redos and building from scratch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwakula Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 These are more beautiful in person. Shipping was super quick and ZERO issues with forum member or FedEx. Ecstatic for my 1st set of heritage Klipsch. I've been lurking for over a year and finally pulled the trigger. Thanks longdrive03! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
