Kloss patent


Guest Roberto

Recommended Posts

This patent was more pertinent to KLH than to Advent. It was a Kloss patent on the method of mounting the acoustic-suspension woofer to a speaker baffle by using aluminum tubes epoxied to the front panel, and it was used on the first KLH-1, KLH-2, KLH-3 (rarely seen KLH speakers) and the KLH Four and KLH Six -- early versions -- until the mid-1960s. These were excellent drivers, and performed well, but the speakers had to be returned to the factory when anything went wrong. The cone, voice coil, lead wires and related parts had to be sacrificed during repair of these speakers. Epoxied drivers were never used at Advent. So obtuse, yet original, was that patent that no one ever paid royalties on it.

Thanks Tom,

I knew that it didn't concern component Advent (the patent is of 1964!), the fact is that me as Adventophile, participate only in this forum, but I think that you are right and that it is correct to signal it to the friends of the KLH forum .

Excuse for my English.

Roberto.
