Thunderball Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Anybody got some spare input plates for new Cornwalls or Heresies for sale? I think they are the same dimensions. Or do you have a 3D model of the plate so it can be printed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent set of binding posts that will not spin when you tighten up the speaker wires. These type binding posts have a key that locks into a slot on the terminal plate that keeps it from spinning.

Thunderball Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Thread locker wont help. The plastic piece spins inside the hole in the input plate. The Klipsch plastic bushing / washer is smooth all the way around. Aftermarket posts have a key that locks into the keyway in the plate and keeps the post from spinning. The post is also squared off to lock into the bushing. The Klipsch is a perfect circle and smooth.

jason str Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Lightly coat with Permatex or similar and let cure. Tape off where you need to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes life much easier and they have a good mechanical fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is fine, there is plenty of mechanical seal there. I use bananas on several sets of Klipsch speakers. Heritage, Palladiums and KG series. If you are worried replace the post with deeper ones from Partsexpress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderball Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 The binding posts were bought from Parts Express. “Dayton Audio BPP-G Premium Binding Post Banana Jack Pair Gold - Part Number 091-620” My friend and his friend did the work with a milling machine. The holes had to be enlarged because the posts were a larger diameter than the Klipsch posts. They also cut a notch for the plastic to engage so the posts will not turn in the plates. The notch does not go all the way through the plate so there can be no air leak. (Probably wouldn’t be a problem because it would be real small and the speakers are ported and not sealed). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedLimit Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 i have the same problem with one of my Cornwall IV .. i also think for that price, it could have better binding posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
