I will replace with (4) of the old Madisound 10mfd surplus which will boost output a bit due to half ohm lower esr and zero voltage loss compared to the Unicons.
Roger, clarify this for me please. I don't understand the math I guess.

Ohh, I will check that stuff out for sure. Always looking for a wood filler that takes color.
JKent, there is a set of old Eico speakers available here locally for $40 that remind me of these and I have been tempted to go check them out.
I want a model 8. Keeping my eyes peeled.

Great, another one to put on the list. Thanks Glenn

On a couple pots I have, after trying to clean them up it seemed the wiper would fall into a hole at the end (what it felt like) - almost give and click into the end. Even took a littlw more force to get it going back the other direction.
I have kinda given up on old pots unless they are in really good shape. I try to determine in my mind if I was Roy A, or EV or HK if I was restoring of these, what would I do if I went over to my old parts bin and there were no originally specified pots left from the old days to use. I'm not sure if the LPad would be their first choice, But i doubt they would worry to much about it not being the exact original.

Oops, sorry, vertical. My preamp has 3 outputs so it made it easy to use 2 of them with 4 cables instead of a splitter, but either way is easy.

Cwies, Great job on prettying up those 9's. I have mine biamped with 2 Adcom GFA5500 amps after posing the exact same questions to the treehouse here. Here is the thread on it. I do the passive version after getting advice here and elsewhere.
-
My 9's have the k after AR9. maybe we just aren't seeing the side woofers in the photos.
-
Wow. RIP roy. Huge impact on many folks enjoyment of music. That is a pretty personal thing.
Of course I read this news as I listen to music through his Allison Ones here in my home office. Thats no lie.

I pulled the trigger on a 2nd GFA 5500 last night. $326 + shipping in original box.
My options for now will be the Adcom GFP 565 pre, which has multiple outs that can be used for bi amp purposes.
Also have the Xiang Sheng tube pre.
I've been happy with the lone 5500 up to this point on the various high demand speakers in my collection so I figured what the heck, keep going in that direction until I can afford an upgrade that is worthy of the $. I will likely dial in the preamp first though and would like to go with a tube pre. For now, the chinese tube pre is fairly impressive, especially for the money invested. (no phono though)
I guess I need to think thru my cabling now while the amp is on it's way.
-
So, those of you that have the 9's do you bi amp them? If so how do you have yours set up? Vertical passive? Horizontal passive?
What gear have you used?
In my case I have the Adcom GFA 5500 and am thinking about getting another. I have a few different preamps to choose from including the Adcom GFP 565, Xiang Sheng tube, and my recently purchased Citation 1.
Let's hear your success stories.

I think they looked for the best buys. Rumor has it HK used to buy surplus parts on Canal Street in NYC. If they could save a few cents on caps they did. Makes it confusing for us though.

Probably no different than today's computer parts supply chain. Ever changing as suppliers come up with a deal for the manufacturers.
-
My grille has it too.
-
Geoff, you never have mentioned how they sounded? Did you give em a spin?
Also, I grabbed JKents Cap list from the other thread. He helped me on mine as well.

Excellent! Worthy of your attention. ha! I too put aside my 2ax's a while ago for something else that came along and have not gotten back to them yet (wasn't looking forward to dealing with those damn pots).
Appears the velcro is coming off the grille so be careful with that, but I am sure you realize it. Plenty of strategies for getting those edges tamed I am sure. At least there aren't any water rings. Damn water rings.
Start a new thread. This KLH forum needs more action!
-
Geoff, you are going to love them. Good price too.
Those serial numbers sound low.
While most KLH do well with most levels of amperage, the Fives do thrive with more. Not as needy as the AR3 but close. At least that is what I found. Mine are in the master bedroom hooked up to a Pioneer SX737 receiver so decent power but not big. I recently hooked them up to my main system and was quickly reminded what these can do.

I had read that awhile back when I came into the stands. Just ran through it again. Man, what great thread. Makes me want to send peter my stands!
-
Love this thread so I am pulling it back up.
Does anybody have the Model 28? I would love a pair of them. I actually have the tulip stands for them already and have been watching for some to come along on EBay but to no avail.
Currently my KLH collection consists of 5, 17, 23, 32 and the Model 27 receiver. The Model Fives are of course wonderful. The 17's are hooked up to teh Twenty Seven and that combo is very rich and warm.

Well this was a fantastic read guys! Welcome Bill and welcome back Howard! good stuff all. Love the history that some f you can provide for the rest of us.
I have A1's. How much larger are the IC20?
-
Do it.
Called the Igor.

I can vouch for the foamspeakergrilles product. They supplied my grilles foam for my Altec Valencias. Like new.
I like blue.
-
Those will rock! My HPM 100's were strong.
-
Wow Jeff, talk about a score. Congrats! Selling them should be easy and will help fund other activities for sure.
-
Nice JKent. I have one JBL L80t of a pair complete. Might have a weak tweeter as well and the magnet moves around a bit when pushed. Replacing caps cleaning up cabs.
