Deang Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I won't tell them what you told me on the phone today. Basically, the K-57-K running with the Type B3 is 3db hotter in the midrange than the K-55 is. So, if you want your K-57-K/B3 combo to "match" your Cornwalls with the Type B's and Alnico K-55-V's -- drop the inductor connection on tap #2 to tap #1, drop the squawker connection from tap #3 to tap #2, and then change 5uF capacitor to 2.5uF. 30 minutes and $20.00.

tommy499 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I can't BELIEVE I am reviving this thread.........BUT, I have some 83 cornwalls with mid horn drivers that are marked...........k52H.....that appear to be mounted in metal K 600 horns I have new B3 crossovers and I seem to have a bad mid driver. There is a pair of Klipsch K-55-v driver for sale.....and I wanted to know if I could use these with my B3 cross? I am sure the answer is somewhere in this thread..........but I am not sure Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Favog Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 can anyone tell me in which years were fitted the k-55V? I own an early Cornwall I without serial number and I would like to date them. thanks Gaetano Give us your serial number, the manufacture date is hidden there (need decoder ring though [] ) Or you can look here. It involves the letter in the serial number. The following text is from Bob Crites' page.
