MY BEST GUESS is that they have been refinished at some point....why?  No Klipsch logo on the front, and no "klipsch" painted on in white...why?  because the logo can't be applied in its normal position, nor can it be painted on in its normal position, due to the round-over of the tweeter and mid-horn lens openings...plus if you look very closely at the "peak of the roof" of the doghouse section...notice the slight discoloration either side of it??😉

Andy , TX  for chiming in --- All the Best -

 

-- the advances made by  the Hope Arkansas Plant  between  the  late seventies LSI ,  and the late 80's LSI , were impressive ,  in the span of only 10 years the build quality of the industrial LSI had resulted in a sturdier cabinet  for the Commercial clients of Klipsch -

 

-I own  2 pairs of LSI  among other klipsch Heritage Speakers   -   you may have built quite a few of these speakers -

 

a)-1  pair of late 70's -square corners -AA-K55V-k-400-K77 round magnet  - K43--

-the  differences  with a regular LS are the klipsch handles on the sides of the top hat  and the K43   --everything else is identical --Flat black paint -

 

b)-late  80's  LSI  ----same as the one in this thread --k77 square magnet -AL-K55M-k401--K43  -and there were a lot of newer changes  that distinguished the Consumer LS  and the  industrial LSI 

 

1)   the dog house  has a metal angle covering the  front of the V of the dog house -

2)  the klipsch badge was bigger /metal /painted klipsch black/white  logo  , and 2 black screws  -

3) the corners of the cabinet  are rounded -including the tweeter/mids openings  ,  and so are the side panels  -

3) the plywood is thicker -sturdier ,   I can bang on the center of the side panels  , no vibrations at all  versus the late 70's square LSI that do vibrate and require 2 braces -

4)  the  top hat is sealed , a  panel covers  the rear to close off the opening -the k-401 replaces the k-400-

5)- the rear top hat panel  adds an  Aluminium terminal cup with a fuse holder , the serial number is  on a tag ,  the cup  is wired into the barrier strip  , and the cup is routed into the panel , one  can see the Plys of the wood in the routed area that  clears the K55M  driver from touching the rear panel -

6) The  cabinet is covered with textured paint -
