Don’t know if he’s involved with any of the day-to-day stuff but he is 81. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Vintage rule: replace part with like part. Your capacitors are metallized polyester - you can get a kit from JEM Performance. Link is at the top of the page. Going to a polypropylene film and foil is smoother, but also much brighter.

Yes.

If you don’t know what to do with them, I’ll install the kit for $150.00. Dean

They look really nice.

Glad to see you back Gil.

What’s fun is to curve something that someone swears is the best thing they’ve ever heard. Measure first, then you can start trusting your ears.

Did you read the pinned posts at the top of this section of the forum? Did you read all 9 pages of this thread? You’re not likely going to get any additional information. If you want to discuss modifications using non-Klipsch parts/ third party solutions - you need to use a different forum.

A rookie shot, but I like the perspective.

I wondered the same.

Those old cans (pre 70’s) are paper in oil. What I’ve never known for sure is whether or not they’re hermetically sealed - I just know I’ve never seen a leaky one. I’d be inclined to leave them alone.

I run “power hungry” ATC monitors with a 60 watt Cambridge integrated. I probably have 30 watts more than I need. To be fair, the room is small and I do sit close. Not as dynamic as horns, but they can surprise you.

Jeff probably never goes into the Technical section so wouldn’t know about the sticky’s. For the uninitiated, Crites can’t build a “factory spec” crossover because he doesn’t have the right autoformers. You can do a lot of other things with the larger units, but “factory spec” isn’t one of them.

Maybe try here instead. https://www.diymobileaudio.com/forums/
