Dave A Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 THAT got your attention didn't it! Well now here is the sordid truth behind this remarkable offer. I have five that need reconing. The local Nashville guy who used to do these has become so unreliable that reconing is no longer an option around here. Pick up only or I could bring to SWAG. Soon if no reply I will add the magnets to my growing wall collection of magnets. I figure if the strange people who wear magnets are on to something if I sit next to a bunch of these babies I ought to be cured or fixed or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Hunter was the transducer engineer they poached from Rolla, he could probably use those for a class on how to re-cone speakers, you might end up with two pristine ones out of the deal. I can ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 I can sure save them for that even if I don't get any back. I will bring them in Sept and add to the list any others I accumulate by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch hired Jim Hunter as a transducer engineer in Hope, Arkansas. Never one to stay still, Hunter has since served as a design engineer, production engineer, engineering manager, director of design engineering, VP of design engineering and company historian who is also in charge of The Klipsch Museum of Audio History. His audio career began in 1974, working for the Rola Company, an OEM driver manufacturing company. He and PWK co-authored U.S. Patent #4,387,786, an anechoic chamber featuring a multi-functional revolving door. Throughout his career at Klipsch, Hunter has been a key contributor to more than 150 Klipsch loudspeakers sold in specialty audio retail stores around the world. Hunter has been a member of the Audio Engineering Society since 1979 and a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers since 1974. To put it simply - when Jim speaks, you’ll want to listen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
