Re: Klipsch woofer - tweeter crossover network.

We managed to procure a Jensen A12PM from ebay and the museum has a few Western Electric 555s. This is what PWK used to built the prototype during WWII. Fairchild actually sent the plywood f...

Period clothes are required. The WWII hanger is still in use and available to us. I will be posting regular progres...

Thanks for the help Dave. The Klipsch Museum has the first Khorn prototype from 1946. It consisted of a smaller LF section w/ Jensen A12 and the prototype horn for HF had a WE555.
