bdbaba Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just looked at a pair of CF-3 version ones and the tweeter in one won't play because of the network or the wiring. Is this an easy fix? Driver is fine. Thanks, bdbaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdbaba Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 Aloha! Would this be "The" Roy" -- as in Del Gado? I have been wanting to get hold of you. My Bro already has a pair of version one CF-3s. They sound great. I have not had a chance to A/B them with my Chorus version 1s yet. Tomorrow hopefully. I do have a question for you. These speakers seem to be an anomoly. The serial numbers on these are 041593774 and 04159775. Inspected by j hood and tested by w jones. They have the 5 1/2" port tubes and a grayish horn, however, they do not have the "clear wire" inside. The wire is green and black going to the tweeter--the other wire is colored as well. Are these version ones? Version twos? If I am reading the S/N correctly, they were made on the 41rst day of 1995. Thanks for the help and for designing such a great Speaker!!!!

bdbaba Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hey Roy, Still out there? Hopefully you can shed some light on the question above. I did a more extensive listen today. Both the Chorus and the CF-3 are great speakers. With the Chorus being so much more efficient, getting the proper levels while trying to A/B them was difficult at best. I think they each have their plusses. The Chorus seem to be a bit clearer in the Mid/Highs--but not by much. The Epics seem to have a bigger and tighter Bass--but again, not night and day. They each hold their own quite well. Still more listening to do before I decide which to keep. Maybe I will keep them both until either another Chorus or another CF-3 shows up on island. Then I will keep that pair so I can have three of the same spekkers up front and sell the other pair. Wonder what the wife would say to that. I guess i could always get some of those nifty little cubes instead......[+o(] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I was curious as to what you found was causing the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdbaba Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hey Dean! Hope you are great. I unscrewed the X-over and pulled the wires off the taps--cleaned them--then reattached them. That was all it was. Either they were loose, or they had some crud on them. Either way, they are working and i am happy! Still not sure which pair I am going to keep. Have a great night out on the mainland. bdbaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted March 24, 2008 Klipsch Employees Share Posted March 24, 2008 They sound like V.1. The later version had shorter ports and "clear" wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdbaba Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hey Trey, Thanks for the reply. I have been talking with Steve Phillips--he is very easy to talk to and very knowledgable. I think all of you guy's deserve a big raise![H] He said that the version one's had the clear wire--my brother's are version one's and do have the clear wire. However, only the version ones were supposed to have the 5 1/2 inch port tubes, which mine do have--so do my Bro's. I figure mine are version ones that were on the cusp of the change. I hope so anyway. At least i know they have the better drivers like the originals and the longer port tubing. Not sure if there were any other major differences between the two. Do you have a pair of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahalo nui loa, bdbaba i think (it been quite a few years) that there were some version 1's with colored wire. the gray horn and long ports gives me the impression that these are ver 1's. i am glad that you like the speaker. take care, roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdbaba Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Aloha Roy! I think you should give yourself a raise as well! Thanks for the info. I am lucky enough to have a wife that likes big speakers. These CF-3s look downright small compared to the Mirage M3si that I had back on the mainland. Wonder what the odds of me finding a pair of Jubilees on island......... Hmmmmm........ [] Thnaks again for everything. bdbaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
