  1. Interested in purchasing your speakers. I live in Watertown CT
  2. It's pretty simple. The bottom portion of the Plywood cut out has a round indentation. Angle the speaker and wedge it through. A few tries and you'll get it. It's not rocket science. Good Luck!
  3. Dear 2BMusic, If you are looking for an amp try a Luxman R-117. I started out with a Yamaha CR-840. I was then introduced to a Luxman LV-105 Integrated Amp when I purchased a pair of Heresy's for the downstairs. I was stunned by the improvement in sound. At the time my main speakers were a pair of Cornwall II's. As I researched the Luxman brand further I discovered the model R-117 Receiver was their top of the line unit which was far superior than the LV-105. I wasn't disappointed in the least.
  4. Looking to Sell a Surround Sound System Consisting of a pair of F2 Floor Standing Speakers, S1 Surround Sound Speakers, C1 Center Channel Speaker & Sub10 Sub-woffer. Each piece in Excellent Condition. Listed on Ebay and under Klipsch in North West Connecticut. Can do much better on prices posted.
  5. I Have a Nice Pair of Chorus I's For Sale. The Tweeters Have Been Upgraded to the Crites Titanium Diaphragms. Photos & Price Are Listed Under Klipsch, Northwest Connecticut.
  6. I'm selling a nice pair of 1990 K-Horns in Walnut signed by Paul Klipsch. The Speakers are Listed on Craigslist Under Klipschorn in Northwest Connecticut. Photos are Included on Site Along With Price.
  7. A year ago or so I purchased a pair of Crites Crossovers for a pair of K-Horns manufactured in 1985. A few weeks ago I purchased a second pair of K-Horns and would like to upgrade the original AK-3 Crossovers w/Crites. I do not however want to drop another $375.00 on a second pair of crossovers. Can anybody provide me with the exact components Crites uses right down to the capacitor holders, transformers, capacitors, & terminals used. If I know the exact models of each item on the board, I can easily duplicate the crossovers and save $$$$. I'd also like to know where I can purchase them. Thank you.
  8. I currently own 2 pair of K-Horns and have had the opportunity to A/B them with Chorus II's, Chorus I's, Forte II's Forte I's and Heresy's. Believe me none of these can compare to the sound of a K-Horn.
  9. Dear Babando, No problem. At some point I'll figure out what to so. Another question. What year were your Khorns manufactured? Have you ever replaced the original crossovers w/Crites? The pair I have upstairs in my living room have been replaced w/Crites. The speakers were manufactured in 1985 and had the AK-3 crossovers. The Monster Cables were completely oxidized and green. The room upstairs has oak floors. The pair I've been talking about are downstairs in my family room which has a carpeted floor. This pair was manufactured in 1990 and have the AK-3 Crossovers. The Monster Cable to the horns & woofer is fine. I'm thinking of replacing these with Crites Crossovers. I find the speakers upstairs much more livelier than the ones downstairs. The downstairs family room K-Horns are more subdued. Just wondering if had any experience with these. Thanks.
  10. Jim, As I'm finding out. I may just end up breaking down the top sections and giving them to a professional furniture refinisher to re-do the cabinets over. I did it once before and the cabinets came out looking much better than the ones coming out of Hope. The 7 coats of lacquer really did the trick.
  11. Dear Babadono, I think you're missing my point. I want to sand down the original finish and re-stain the entire cabinets with the same exact product they use to stain the cabinets at the factory in Hope. I'm not interested in touching them up or putting a coat of finish or tung oil on them. I cannot get an answer out of Klipsch Corporate so I thought someone on this forum who has worked at the Hope, Arkansas factory can assist me. Thanks anyway.
  12. They are oiled. I want to sand them down to remove some of the imperfections without going through the veneer. I've done this numerous times w/Heresy's, Forte's & Chorus's. I've then applied a Minwax stain usually golden oak for oak speakers & a light walnut for the walnut finishes. On these I'd like to get them as close to the original as possible. All I need to know is the make and shade of the stain Klipsch uses at the factory in Hope. That's all. Thanks for your reply.
  13. Does anyone know exactly what brand of stain and tint Klipsch used in 1990 for their walnut cabinets. I want to sand mine down, re-stain and lacquer them. I need to know the exact stain the factory used. Can't get any information from Corporate in Indianapolis. Thanks.
  14. Thanks for your reply and input. I think what I'm going to do is call Klipsch about replacing the mid range diaphragms with new ones. Next I'll talk to Bob Crites about replacing the caps on the crossovers. I'd also like to replace the cheap wires from the crossover to the tweeter, mid-range & woofer.
  15. Thanks, I might just go the new Kipsch route vs the Crites diaphragm with new crossovers.
