anbclub Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I run a club that inherited a pair of Klipsch speakers about 15 years ago, that are probably 25 to 30 yrs old. We've run them awile Still sound damn good, but have seen some rough use. I believe the cross over capacitors have probably taken on some moisture, as well as the coils, more then likely. They do some clicking and cut out at times. I would really like to R/R the crossovers, but I do not have any data sheets for power ratings, crossover specs, etc. Can Klipsch provide spec. and a pair of newer crossover versions using newer components.? The data on the back panael for this set of two is: Serial numbers 6P723 & 6P724 Type number: LS-BR Data on the speaker components: On the tweeter pm: printed on in ink 339 14 824-0137 Klipsch K-77-M on the mid range horn pm: stamped into info plate: 215365 printed in ink K-55-V Woofer: no idea. did not want to open the sealed woofer chamber.

Tony Reed Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 You have a pair of LaScalas. (LS BR = LaScala Birch Raw) Yes, you can get new crossovers. I think don't think Klipsch stocks anything "older" than the AL-4, which is not the right crossover for your drivers. Contact BEC on this BB, he can get you fixed up. BTW, your woofer most likely is a K-33E. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CONVERGENCE Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 HI Have you considered steep slope XO. Here is the web site they are made for klipsch. Extreme-slope networks separate the sound into frequency bands appropriate to each of the drivers (Woofer, squawker or tweeter) and sends them ONLY to that driver. There is only a very small overlap where two drivers are sounding together and can interact with each other. Eliminating driver interaction eliminates the need for "time alignment" resulting in a much wider "sweet spot", a noticeably better stereo image and a smoother frequency response throughout the room. http://alkeng.com/es_xo.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
