@Jhakobe Superb restauration! I own KG1.5 & 3.5 myself. For an upcoming project concerning my 3.5 I´d like to know how You changed the fabric on the grilles? From factory it seems to be cemented or melted to the grille-frame...  

Seeeeeee, ya got 'em ALL stirred up @DWells   LS are truly a FUN speaker! They, like most of the Klipsch line have their own distinctivve "voice."   Take a look at the "networks/crossovers" inside and look for oily looking leaks.  That's an indicator for sure, loosen the screws and just tighten them back down breaking the crude free a lil bit and give them a good listen.   It doesn't take 5k watts of "pure solid state power" to drive them at all.  It also doesn't  take a high dollar tube amp.  That's up to you to decide because they're VERY efficient speakers.  A 5 watt tube amp sounds great depending on the size of the room.  Whatever you have on it now is fine as long as it works for you.   Throw 'em in a corner and align them to cross a couple feet in front of you and you should have a great sound stage for listening.  Kick back and relax.  See what they sound like.  You're buddy did you a solid and is prolly grinnin right now cause ur hooked or soon will be.  Prove me wrong!  lol   Ya got questions just ask or use the search bar up top.  We don't bite too hard in here.     BTW, don't EVEN think about dumping them that's just cra cra!  lol  Welcome to the fam!

Well ...the european football championships start today in germany, but i don't believe that the german team will make it to the final. I didn't find the test matches convincing and the team consists mainly of new and young players, which is good because German football has long since become a laughing stock in Europe. Let's see what happens ...   Ja , the weather is ..na ja ...has nothing to do with  summer at the moment , yesterday evening I spun some records   the third and last album vom the german ProgRock Band Triumvirat " old loves die hard " 1976       WOW , another germany KrautRock Tripp ...so good ! ELOY " Floating " from 1974     than my favor album from Steve Hackett " Spectral Mornings "     and finally one of my favor industrial ProgRock Album UK  

What about xlr cables? McIntosh sells a pair for $500 and Audioquest sells for a little less. Is it worth the money?   Any suggestions on a good bang for the  buck xlr cable?   On another note, I borrowed a Audioquest usb cable to compare with a cable I bought off of Amazon made by DJ Tech Tools and the latter sounded better. I believe the Audioquest cable is about $50 more than the cable I bought from Amazon.

It has been recommended to me to replace the $1.00 outlet with a hospital grade outlet. Sold at Home Depot for about 10 bucks. It would be easy enough for me to run at dedicated circuit since I have a basement but if there is no benefit. I won't do it. I'd like to hear other's thoughts on this.

Whew, is ALL I can say!  Just a lil bit of blues for ya'll...                :)

The cable are not the same length, I'd say that there is a  10 foot difference one cable is likely around 15ft and the other is 25ft. 12 gauge wire.. Cleaning the ends is something I had not thought of. I was going to replace the cables with 16 gauge.  Thanks,

Love the Funnies
