Illuminati (3rd Degree)

HI Dave,
Yeah. I love them cos they are stock 1978's, and it's like owning a classic. (alnico magnets, etc)
But after the crossover update (i wouldn;t call it an uopgrade, just an update since they are basically performing to original spec), I can actually hear what Paul klipsch heard when he passed these.
BTW, I heard a rumor someplace that these were voiced with a 2a3 amp.
I am using a cheaop chinese BEZ amp 2a3, with a 6j7 driver tube.
The sound is very nice.
I also have a dynaco st35 clone that I will switch...that;s an 18 watter BUt frankly, 3.5 watts is WAYY more than i need, cos that gives me upto about 108 db, and i only lsiten at 85-90 db in my music room.
They do sound a lot cleaner after the ctrossovers were rebuilt.
Bob Crites did a great job, and is reasonable.
I feel lucky to have found these khorns about 4 years ago, in basically mint condition, sibngle owner. THe guy couldnot sleep, becuase he had owned them since 1978, and had listened to them for 20+ years.
I assured him they would be in good hands. These are great speakers.
no other word for it.
Great. What an awesome and elegant design.
Love em.
