tigerwoodKhorns Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 I'm sure that this has been asked before. Where can I get some black grill cloth for a pair of heresy's? Klipsch no longer carries it. Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCturboT Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Good link- My '94 K-horns black grill covers appear identical to the ones in the upper right,part# DN4912-21. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale W Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 I order'ed 4 yards of it from klipsch to do my k-horn mods a few years ago. Gave some to a buddy of mine to do his speakers just like yours and they look great.May be a idea if you can still get the material.I'm not sure if the materials are the same or not.

Chris Robinson Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 I've got tons ... Tell me how much you need and I'll clip it and send it along. Just pay the shipping. It's Thanksgiving and I'm in the "giving" mood. Random acts of kindness. Got any NOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCturboT Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Chris, I could use some for that "false" side I plan on making to fit around my baseboard heater.Is this the grill cloth you took off when you redid your K-horns/Belle/Cornwalls/Heresys?

Chris Robinson Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Jeff, this is all "virgin" cloth still on the roll. Initially, I was planning on redoing the Klipschorns in black because the Cornwall I's were in black. But when I sold the CW I's for a pair of older II's which were in brown, I scrapped the idea and got brown cloth from Klipsch. Hence, the untouched black. Of course you're welcome to help yourself to whatever you need from that stock. The Heresies, believe it or not, are a bit harder to re-cloth. The cloth was glued down to the cardboard cutout and needs to be removed in its entirety before applying the new cloth. I used a vinegar and water solution (sponged on) to break the glue bond and then carefully peeled it off. I let it dry, then applied the new cloth with a hot glue gun. Kind of a pain in the butt but it worked. Cut-Throat is working on re-grilling his Belles. That is a job in itself as well. The whole HF/LF sections need to be taken down to get at the screws holding the four LF grill panels on. If the cloth is bad though (worn or stained), it is worth the effort. IMHO, the brown cloth looks fabulous with walnut, oak or mahoghany (better than the black). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted November 28, 2002 Author Share Posted November 28, 2002 Chris, Thanks!! I am out of town right now, but I just need enough to re-do a set of Heresy's.

Chris Robinson Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Chris, I'm out of town as well. Just shoot me an email at robinsonc@attbi.com. I'd take the dimensions and add 3" on each side. It will give you some wiggle room ... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCturboT Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 For those who need to know... I had e-mailed Wendell Fabrics about their speaker grill fabric (this before Chris gratefully offered his grill cloth-which by the way, I sill need to grab some from you) and they sent me a sample of their DN4912-21 in black. It is close, but not an exact match of the fabric on my 1994 Klipschorns-the weve is not as pronounced on the Wendell but from 3 ft away you probably would have to look really close to see the difference. They have a two yard minimum @ a cost of $15.75 a yard so it might be a viable alternative is the Klipsch cloth is not available.

twinluke Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hi Chris. I saw your post were you may have some black cloth that match the heresies. I just got thru sanding and painting six heresies. If you have any of this vintage cloth I would love to buy some. Please let me know if this is possible. They came out really good and the new cloth would make them as new.
