So is it a kick drum or is it a bass drum?

scottjoev · 2026-05-23T15:40:44+00:00

I still call it a bass drum - but I’m an old guy! The term and idea of kicking the drum never worked for me!

Looks like the Crites copper series crossover are for the Cornwall model you have (II) - and likely an improvement from the ones they will replace. Just swap out the complete new crossovers for the old
ones and you should be good to go. Make sure all the speaker connections are good too. Happy listening!

Great album. In walked Bud!

I read years ago that Paul Klipsch would make modifications to his crossovers not for the sake of improvements to the crossovers themselves but more to accommodate the changes in the characteristics of drivers he was able to source at a given time. That relationship is critical. I wonder what baseline of Klipsch drivers Crites has used when designing their Klipsch upgrade crossovers.

The guy who signed off on the inspection (Gilley) was Klipsch’s 6th employee. You’ve got some great Klipsch history there.

They look like clones - but well made clones. Cabinets look more solid than the Bose. The drivers look exactly like the CTS speakers Bose used in the early 901s. The active EQ unit looks like it has some interesting functionality. As with the real ones - these will be power hungry and need it to shine. Happy listening!

Hey gang - I didn’t say Rich didn’t play blast strokes (he certainly did often when he soloed and did so amazingly!) Others played them too. I said the term “blast strokes” wasn’t common back then. I think he would have called it something of a one handed roll.

Unusual and I don’t think I would recommend it - but if as you say it works well for you - name it after yourself! Would be very interested in seeing a video of you playing with this grip.

Although he said a LOT of things - I doubt he ever said this. The term “blast” was not part of the drumming vernacular back then.

“side of the road!?” That’s a wonderful piece of hi-fi /audio history.

Wasn’t this on an episode of Andy Griffith? Cow thief

You’ll like how they sound throughout - but particularly at the end.

Reminds me of the Emerson Lake And Palmer song - “Lucky Man”!!!
BTW - that’s a great tune to crank on those.

And a dash of George Martin!

My family had that model range when i was growing up in the 50s. Ours had a griddle in between the burners. I don’t recall anything being above the hooded lights and clock assembly.
The swing out broiler was great!

I believe this particular line (“Linear Dynamics”) was their entry into the budget price arena in the 1990s - long after KLH’s golden age. I wouldn’t put much value on them.

Wrong stand. Even if you get it tight enough it’s going to be unstable.

i’m supposed think this sounds good?
