Speedball Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Angles are not complicated and no mathmatics involved really, just transfer the angles using a sliding T bevel.[] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meagain Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 But what I'm confused about is at KlipschFest, I distinctly remember hearing the interior was a redesign as well. That there's something different in the construction other than mere backs being put on. Even looking at the pics of the 60th, the mid horn/driver doesn't stick out as much as my standards - or something like that. I'd like to understand better how exactly the 60th's were built.

LarryC Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Also, I was under the impression that the AK-5 was tailored to the 60th anniv. Khorn structure. There is very little difference between the AK-4 and the AK-5, and I preferred keeping mine as an AK-4. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry I asked Roy this question and my understanding from his response is that the 60th anniv Khorn's have AK-4 xovers, except that premium componets are used. The brochure for the 60's also talks about silver something wires.... Will know more today......delivery is set for 4pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Will know more today......delivery is set for 4pm. Whoo hoo!! [Y] As a side comment, pay NO attention to the wet, drool spots you might find on the lower left corner of the speaker... I know nothing about them...

colterphoto1 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Pat we started a trend.. 3 others have done this as well. [] I invented the internet LOL Seriously Rudy- great job on the tweak. I remember bringing my first Khorns home and my buddy Roger coming over with the nonskid feed and pipe insulation and getting mine TIGHT in the corners. Makes all the difference. Yes there is another way, just buy the 60th's. THere's a few pair left for lucky buyers. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF- I did an upgrade for you at no charge, before they were packaged, I tore out that nasty silver wire and performed our 'braided yak-hair' mod. [] You're welcome. Now don't you dare mod them further without putting a month of solid use or I'm coming over there and .... and. .... and...... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki Choi Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hi Khorn#1: Did you post any photos of your work in progress and finished backs? It would be helpful... now that I am itching to try it for my Khorns. thanks, Ki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyKlipschFan Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Are they really blown? I am sure Klipsch will make good on the speakers... check the wires, fuse, and connections too?.. They look awesome, I hope you get this fixed pronto! Would love to see pics too of them in your room! And yes, I am jealous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Michael was kidding Fritz. I sure don't see how they could have blown, there's a polyswitch and resistor in the tweeter circuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Michael was kidding Fritz. I sure don't see how they could have blown, there's a polyswitch and resistor in the tweeter circuit. yeah, I'm with you on the poly switch function...but one is blown...~ ohms on the tweeter...the other just crackles. I was looking for a fuse or something...couldn't find any.. decided to connect a A new T-35A on the crossover termainls for the tweeter, and the T-35A works just fine...I checked for pulled wires on the tweeter terminals that may have been disconnected during the disassembly for packing, but the leads look fine. it's definetly one blown tweeter and one trying to die..but can't.
