You will be listening in no time. I'm thinking since you don't have mid horns with Atlas drivers, there may be a different taps and caps for them than in the original thread. We can measure and see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you can get a used B Network, it can easily be modified to a B2 if need be. The important portion is you get the wire strip, 2 chokes, and 2 T2A Autoformers, which are worth over $100 in parts alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeJ1 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 But if you prefer, you can get Autoformers from Bob Crites at Crites Speakers. These are very high quality and allow midrange tweaks in 1 db steps instead of the crude 3 db steps of the Klipsch T2A autoformer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If necessary, I'll buy the B2 for sale on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babadono Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Autotransformers, price is for one, a pair would be double that price. Shipping for a pair of these in the US would be $13.00 by Priority Mail. I will ship worldwide. Foreign customers contact me for a shipping quote. Model 3654 $32.00 Model 3619 Discontinued Model 3636 $36.00 Looks like a whole $85 for a pair shipped to your door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 They're here. My wife informed me, "They delivered your coffin." Now that I reflect on it, that storm door doesn't look so good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 The unboxing. Not the greatest packing job ever, but then again, they weren't shipping valuable antiques. Too bad @Schu's La Scalas didn't fare as well as the Frankensmurfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Of course I hooked them up to my Wiener TPA3118 and played Brubeck's Take Five They sounded pretty good, despite the fact that one tweeter has an open VC. After the brief audition. I began the autopsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 They were stuffed with the nasty looking grey foam. The networks were not screwed to the cabinets, but were wedged in place by the foam. Despite the fact these probably started life as 2-ways, the Klipsch network is 3-way. It's labeled KP-2.0A. Unfortunately, not much in the networks to be used in the Super Heresy.

DizRotus Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 After recording the dimensions, the empty cabinets are at the curb. They're so beat up, it would be easier to start over if I decide to use the woofer and tweeter in a small 2-way to pair with my son's DIY TH sub. The K53s work and the K701 horns are intact. I got my money's worth on just those to be used in the Super Heresys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
