soundbound Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I’m building new tops for my 1978 decorator Klipschorns. I’ve been reading old threads here about replacing grill cloth. Will Wendell Fabrics and or Duracrest Fabrics still sell just enough fabric to me to do my Klipschorns in black? I’m guessing 2 to 3 yards. How’s Bob Crites’s grill cloth? Any members have some for sell? Any other suggestions where to buy from? I’d really like to have some grill cloth that looks like the black cloth that Klipsch put on their Heritage speakers, but thinner more acoustically transparent! The cloth Klipsch used was somewhat thick. I’d like to use the typical modern thin smooth stretchable nylon black cloth, but it wouldn’t look right. Best glue to adhere grill cloth? I’m soon buying Bob Crites’s A/4500 crossovers and CT120 tweeters to put in them. I’m using Bob’s A/AA with oil can caps now that I bought fourteen years ago. I keep them as an AA. How big of an improvement is Bob Crites’s A/4500 crossovers over an AA 6000hz? I read here many feel his CT120 tweeters are big improvements. Comments?

Thaddeus Smith Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Could just be timing. You posted this Thursday and I'm seeing it for the first time just now. I don't have answers to your questions, but I'd say untwist your panties and hopefully the right people with helpful information will chime in over time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skelt Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 It's not big enough for heresys, a lascala grill is about it. Its what was left ovet after a pair of cornwalls and a single forte. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skelt Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Yes it takes 2 yards cut 36 x 144 to do khorns. A 36 x 72 did cornies and a forte. I'll just hang on to it. I thought you wanted a swath to check out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
