The horn itself does not/can not go bad. It's just what alters what comes out the diaphragm. Just order two titanium diaphragms from Bob Crites and you'll be good. -
I started out on one of those. Reminds of the shoe phone on Get Smart. -
I bookmarked that site, never heard of it but will look into it. Thanks Just to see what it is i can try the free version and go with one of the other plans after trying it. Makes sense what they say -
Laptop is just for music, the way it's setup is HDMI out of laptop to a really good sounding receiver (better the the DAC I was using) and just use the pre-outs from it. Into a EV Dx-38 used as an active crossover, stereo pair in 4 channels out, to the 2 amps are connected to this. One channel of one amp to the bass bins on one side the other channel to the 402 horn, repeat with other amp for the other side. I had a DAC instead of the receiver, that limited connections somewhat, the receiver was tried and it sounds just as good or better and greatly improves ability to connect different things. I had tried this years ago with a different receiver and it was not good, so I got the DAC, the different receiver now used made a big difference, a friend in the business was here and we tried both the DAC and the better receiver and stayed with it. He has done this stuff for a living for over 30 years and has much better ears than me, and knows what to look/listen for, a very reputably company you know trust him to design and voice there products so I surely trust him. Plus it has a sub out, going to a crown amp for the sub, the way it's all connected now just makes everything easier to deal with and sounds amazing. .

Hello all. Been slowly building my 7.2.6 system. Due to spacial constraints and recommended specs for Dolby Atmos, I am torn between RP-600Ms, laying sideways on my existing speaker stands*, or perhaps some floor-standing speakers like the RP-6000F or RP-5000F. I already have the following: Fronts (x2): RP-8000F Center: 504C Ceilings (x6): CDT-5800 C II Subs (x1): SPL-120 On my "to get list": Rears (x2): RP-640D Subs (#2): SPL-120 (waiting for a deal) Sides: ??? The room size is approximately 15 feet by 17 feet. So I sort of feel that the floorstanding ones might be overkill. The other issue is that I occasionally throw dance parties which would require moving one of the side speakers out of the way to clear the living room floor/area which doubles as my home theater zone. Granted I could use a dolly, but moving a 50 lb speaker into and out of place just doesn't seem like a good idea to me, even though it won't happen very often. This is my first time diving into the Klipsch world, so recommendations from those who have had first hand experience with those speakers would be great. * My wall space/area is weird. I cannot mount anything to the wall. On the screen left side is an open space, so I have to have a speaker on a stand of some kind or floor-standing speakers. On the screen right side is a large window and the front door. There is a small sliver of space to put an RP-600M speaker on a speaker stand. However, it has to be sideways, otherwise it blocks the light-switch. While I'm sure it's not "bad" per se, I'm just wondering if floor-standing might be a good alternative. The RP-6000Fs are only 40" high and won't obstruct anything. **For those wondering "why not some 502s?" The 502s and similar designs aren't recommended for Dolby Atmos specs, in addition, their design would block access to the light switch when set on stands. ***Option three, get shorter stands and go with the RP-600Ms set up the proper way. Doable, but my stands are basically lovely pieces of functional furniture that I would loathe to get rid of. So either a separate set of stands that goes next to them or they end up sideways on them. -
Looked and yes, just use a connection out audio from laptop (?) and use whatever cable is called for to connect. Check it with your phone. Enjoy... -
Thanks, sounds like one pictured or close. Nice unit would like myself. Look at your connection from computer for hdmi, whatever just to check. When you bail out taking a break. Come back and review. Think you bout got it sorted. Thanks for your patience.
