I have Crites Ti's in klf-30's but thinking of doing the same to the matching klf-c7 center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickFL Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Good to see another Klipsch lover in south florida. I recently upgraded the tweeters on my Klipchorns from Mr. Crites. Bored to death stuck here at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC39693 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 @RickFL and others who are "bored to death", try making your own speaker cables out of Cat6 or higher Ethernet data cable. I've made these using three runs, that is 24 strands x 22 awg wire, per + or - segment. Stripping the wire out of outer cover, straightening, stripping copper wires, then braiding (my preferred cable layout 3 strands of 8 conductors, braided with simple 3 way braid into a nearly flat cable). It takes about 4 hours per segment, or nearly 8 per speaker. It yields an effective gauge of about 6 awg. Pretty cheap, nice looking and fun... well, a bit hard on the fingers. Some folks use a drill to twist the 3 or whatever number of 8 conductor sets together, but I like the look of braiding. Also, get a really good wire stripper! Enjoy! Or, just listen to some music with a good Scotch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC39693 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Wow, guilty. I should restate that to “after some time you may find the tips of your fingers are exhibiting signs of being over worked.” And I used to edit highly complex corporate strategy documents! My bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkemyst Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 The bass level now with the new x-overs is insane compared to before. I don't need a sub really in this 12x12/15ish room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
