Re: Keltik Klimax crossovers.

Apologies All,

I hadn't noticed the further replies on this thread.

I managed to source a nice pair of Klimax Xo's from a dealer in UK - around the end of December.

Thank you for the various responses.

Klimax XO Keltik

Hi All Managed to get hold of Keltik Klimax XO, at last. SN's : (766076 & 700969) Apologies for this being such a simply query. When they arrive I would like to set all adjustment to "factory." I think I recall that bass is set to 3, when turning adjuster clockwise (when viewed from rear) from rough...

Re: Keltik Klimax crossovers.

Hi Kampak Many thanks for the reply. The tunebox sounds like a great idea at present - I actually have cards, so I dont know if you would consider just selling the "box" I have been using a friends Klimax crossovers for a number of months, as he has been working abroad. He will be returning soon and...

Re: Keltik mono active cards - circuit diagrams?

Hi Both Many thanks for the replies, with apologies for the late response! Bit of background. I had a fab Keltik set up about 10 years ago - Klimax XO's, 2 x 4200's, Akurate DS ( one of the first) Kinos. After a long varied Hi Fi journey and unfortunately a change in "life" circumstances, Im slowly ...

Keltik mono active cards - circuit diagrams?

Hi Guys

I have seen circuit diagrams for Keilidh mono cards in the past. A mate of mine is interested in having a go at building a custom "tunebox" for Keltiks, and was wondering if anyone had access to circuit info.

Many thanks

Thats useful. Ill give that a check later - just to see if Im anywhere near!

Hi Frederik, I actually used Araldite "steel fix" - their usual 2 part mix resin. To be honest I was a little disappointed with this product. It took me 2/3 tries until it "fixed" - which is why I only just apply tension, which is fine as thats all the corners seem to need! I simply attached a flat ...

Hi Frederik Yes, Im talking about tightness of the securing nuts to the top plate. I think this has been discussed earlier in the thread - that a long hex socket would be needed. To be honest, I used the torque driver on the screw head and held the nut with pliers! I dont have a long enough hex sock...

Hi CM

I know its not "traditional" but Im now using a Melody 1688 II pre with Linn solos - to my ears its a big improvement over the Kisto I had previously.

Wow, only 2 years old! In that case and in the present climate if it goes for anywhere around £2500 - £3k its big bargain - even with the damage..
