I know, another topic in itself......... Quite right. It is a 120+ mile drive each way for me to a Klipsch dealer that has anything but Best Buy quality Klipsch on the floor to listen to. I have to think that Bowers and Wilkins works with Hi Fi buys in Nashville to have their junk there to listen to. I have a set of Chorus speakers that came from that same store in 1990 but not a Klipsch to be seen today. Marketing is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own CNC equipment and I assume whoever is doing Klipsch cabinets does to. I would have screw holes done with pilot holes and full sized chamfers via cnc on all flat surfaces excluding edge faces. It would take very little time to program in and next to nothing time wise to physically do. The reality is that the slight increase in cutting time is offset by decreased assembly time and it would be cheaper to build them this way.

Dave A Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 As in flexible? I wondered what it was because it shows the same bend types as actual made from wire cloth. I have some here with a 1/2 inch pattern and have wondered what it would look like as grille material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave A Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Well wire cloth offers more open area than most perforated metal does and being round I have to wonder if it would not be more neutral in interfering with the sound. SS wire cloth is forever and will never tarnish rip or otherwise change it's appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
