oldmako Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Regarding the spikes on the CFs, In the KLF line, and perhaps the CFs as well that spike is a threaded affair that resides within a hard rubber foot. It can be retracted IOW so that it won't destroy your flooring. You might want to take a look. The entire foot assembly can be unthreaded, the spike then flipped around and rethreaded into the cabinet leaving just the rubber. My first pair of Klipsch were CF-3's though I am not certain if they are the coveted version or not. Mine have the 3 inch deep ports if I am not mistaken. I urge you to chase all leads to resurrect them and get them back in top shape. You will not be disappointed, especially if you jam a LOT of power into them. Mine came alive when I hooked them up to an ancient Phase Linear 400 - "the sonic turd". I only paid 240 bucks for mine. I then invested a few hundred bucks in having the crossovers being completely rebuilt by Bob Crites son. I don't recall the exact nature of the malady which drove me contact him but there was an imbalance or loss of signal of some sort. This was an excellent solution and I was very happy with the results. They came back 30 percent larger than they were and his work was absolutely beautiful. Sadly, mine are just sitting upstairs and are not even hooked up. My Cornwalls took their spot. My son in law has his eye on them but I am dragging my feet. Good luck in your quest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing how quickly he sold the woofers, crossovers and horns I might be parting mine out. I have 3 good woofers, and the horns and crossovers are fine. Based on that guys prices, it will cover the $575 I paid for the speakers. Even if I bring them back to life, I cant imagine listening to the CF-3 over my Cornwall II's. Plus I am officially out of room. Still trying to figure out if I can put both my 2 channel setups along with my surround sound set up in the same space. If you decide to part them out please let me know. Thanks. Edited March 4, 2023 by nation45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 @Jefferson6599 Here's another one... https://www.ebay.com/itm/225473376926?hash=item347f42b29e:g:7jsAAOSw26ZkC0Kc Matter of fact, if you buy that one, I'll swap you my K-1020 spare, which is for the v2 or 3, for that v1 woofer which works with mine! Or is that you selling them..... Hmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why I have a set number in my head, but I'm holding out for one at $100. I guess that's the number where if I spend more than that I have too much in the speakers and it makes more sense to part them out, rather than owning them for more than $675. The cabinets are a little rough and they are v2, so they are barely worth the $575 I paid for them. If I didn't have a pair of Cornwall II's and Tekton Double Impacts already set up in my listening area it would be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
