blimycapn Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I recently sent the crossovers and tweeters from my circa 1963 Klipshorns to Bob Crites for rebuilding. I have owned these speakers since 1976 and have listened to them virtually every day since purchasing them. I use recent McIntosh amplification and CD player nowdays and used to use circa 1961 Harmon Karden Citation I and II. Anyway, I suppose the crossover caps slowly deteriorated and my ears aged with them. I thought the speakers always sounded fine but did seem to lack clear highs. I can say now that with the rebuilt crossovers and tweeters (I replaced the diaphrams in the mids as well) these speakers have never sounded so clear and sparkling. There is a fresh preciseness to the sound that is truly a joy to listen to. I understand that these crossovers were somewhat unusual but the design specification sure works great. Thanks to Bob for a job well done. Scotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Scotty, Glad they are back to sounding good. It was a pleasure to work on those old jewels. The local crime lab might have been able to lift a genuine print of Mr. Paul's from those. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
