Hi @MicroMara, I read your topic here. Very interesting. I especially like the terminal plate and the optical revision of the front. Do you also have pictures of the crossover upgrade?    

Lots of cheap options out there to get your feet wet. 😉

I may never end up trying tube amps, but I love the eye candy and craftsmanship on this thread!  Keep ‘em coming!

Hi @babadono, of course I am happy with the reaction of @MicroMara. But I had not seen it yet.

Hi @Full Range, thanks for the reference. An interesting topic.

Active crossovers are probably the only way to better the latest passive crossovers coming stock from Klipsch on current models.

They fixed it in February. JJK  

Vertical and horizontal dispersion are real factors to consider, so doing a little experimentation with height risers, toe-in, and tilt won’t hurt.

2024 was busy audio wise - completed restorations of a pair of Belles and Khorns; setup NAS's in separate locations accessible by all my audio systems and uploaded all my hard media to them; designed and built a custom audio rack; progressed on veneer matched tapped horn subs for the Belle's; and made progress on my main audio room and system.    Wish I could take some time off but can't - need to finish the Belle tapped sub horns along with a DSP setup to integrate them with the Belles, progress on or perhaps finish the main audio room, which includes moving and installing 16 speaker cabinets (all VERY large) from the old location to the new. Moving all that is a daunting task, so I am considering instead designing and building new speakers for my main systems and leave the others in place...I dunno.    Retirement and hobbies can be lethal to your bank account, free time and marriage.

Hi @MicroMara, thanks for your reply and schematic. It is more complex than I expected.
