Dave1291 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Ok, now that I've seen the rest of the scroll I'll throw this in for ya @AndreG. Prolly 5-6 years ago I picked up a pair of 4.5's for I think for 300 w/200 shipping also in ash black. Posted a couple pics cause I picked them up at auction and wondered what they were since the tags didn't show in the o/l pics. Some of the guys chipped in with their thoughts but we really weren't sure til I got them. TBH I didn't have space in here w/my LS and Heresy so they've taken up residence in my garage w/a lil 100w Yahama receiver and cheapo CD player. Those things ROCK! I sit outside and have it cranked a bit w/a CD in and turn heads when the neighbors walk by and hear it. A few have even stopped to listen. If they only knew what I had inside. hahaha You're gonna love 'em brother cause they cook! Let's see... Bottoms... Hey @001 what's your take on bottom speakers for 'em. Give the man the skinny. Klipsch parts shipped to Germany??? Or??? The other thing you can do is a WTB the bottoms over in the garage sale section. Cross your fingers but ya never know in here. Someone might have a pair laying around that will ship to ya. They might even trade ya one of those 17 turntables you have sittin around. 😂 😂 😂 I HAD too! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 @AndreG maybe we're related? You grab a pair of LS and go thru them and you're gonna have the same Klipsch gear as I do. In the meantime keep workin on that lp collection cause I wanna see your line array when it's done. lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroMara Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 @AndreG. sorry for of topic in this thread now , but we need to solve some problems here Moinsens André ,open the speaker and check out which woofer ( model & branch ) is installed instead of the K 1005 K , I think that this one sounds different because he doesn´t fit the needed x-over values or there is a problem with the old resisiors or caps after 30 years in the x-over network, the coils should be okay. I had the same issues with my KG´s 3.5 last winter . It might be neccessary to solder new ones inside. About the not origin spikes ....you may remember that you installed the Dynavoxx under your RF´3´s , so why don´t you consider the same with the KG 4.5´s ? Here is the x-over schematic for the KG 4.5 These´re my first quick ideas so far ... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way ahead of you George, that will be the first "tuning" I´ll do. I´m also pretty sure the woofer "doesn´t fit in". I only notice the difference when I go close to the cabinet. I´m planing to get a replacement, if I can find one. I found a K-1001-K on Ebay. That was supposedly pulled from a KG4.5, but per specs it was originaly installed in the 4.2. I contacted Chief Bonehead (Roy Delgado) if the two are interchangeable. Maybe He will find the time to answer. Also I plan to get titanium diaphragms for the tweeters. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreG. Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I´m hi-jacking this thread... @Chad Maybe we could move everything KG 4.5 related here to a new thread called "Reviving KG4.5" for example, over in the restaurations-forums please? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Sir brother, nothing like going right to the top of the food chain in a nano second. Ya get @Chief bonehead in here it's gonna get pricey. About the only thing that might draw his interest is the fact we're just a gaggle of red-headed step-brothers in here and he's always been a bonehead. Never know though. We could see a unicorn magically appear! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreG. Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Na, I´m not to worried about it, just want to know if K-1001/1005-k can be interchanged, or not. Though I wonder, what does the Chief spin...? The Black or the Silver? I say He´s old fashioned, black with tubes and Jubs. Pricey? You think He´s got an NOS k-1005-k up his sleeve? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might just leave it all there when he walks outta the office like most people. I would. He's more than paid his debt to society.
