    • Anyone interested, I just posted a pair for sale in the Garage Sale section (no stripe)
    • Up for sale is a very nice pair of KI-396-B-SMA-II All original as they came from Hope. Very nice speakers. Pick up only in St. Louis (or meet part way??) $2,000 PM with any questions.
    • Dang, that looks nice!  I bet it sounds even better.
    • AMTs are double stacked now, in vertical alignment with 402s. Powered by sweet little Topping LA90 Discretes. One for each side in bridge mode. Have not run out of steam yet and super quiet at idle.
    • Friend has KV2 center he loves - looking to “upgrade” his current* LR to matching bookshelf speakers. He plans to eventually “upgrade” his non-matching surrounds*. *different brand   Thanks. Tony
    • I just got the KP-502S’s and I am trying to find the best placement. I know that some people hang the rear speakers in a  5.1 system slightly to the rear, but I can’t exactly do that with the way the room is designed. I’m basing everything on the left side. The right side will match it. I cleave to hang above the window, but I have a hanger that can tilt down to point at the couch. My question is, would it be better to hang them centered over the window(1) or in the back corner of the window(2)?  
    • captainbeefheart Regulars  1.4k Posted December 12, 2021 Depends on how you use your speakers, if you have flea or low powered amps and listen to your speakers conservatively I am sure you can get away with using the crossover with the K-77. They have to write this warning because of worst case scenario, which actually happens quite frequently where someone runs a high powered amplifier full bore to fill a dance hall or large room party etc... If this is you then I also recommend only using these crossovers with an upgraded tweeter that can handle the power.   So the answer to which speakers can use this is it depends on the tweeter in either LaScala, Klipschorn, or Belle speakers OR if you do not push your speakers hard and use low powered amps (less than 10 watts I would think) your fine with just the K-77 in either of these three speakers.
    • Limited Edition, transparent red, Red Dirt Girl - Emmylou Harris. Wonderful! Just wonderful!   Frank
    • Vintage rule: replace part with like part. Your capacitors are metallized polyester - you can get a kit from JEM Performance. Link is at the top of the page.    Going to a polypropylene film and foil is smoother, but also much brighter.
