Another K2 user here. Have three of them, one for each underground Jube and one, bridged for the Danley. I had never heard of them and a former, forum member told me to try one as they were very musical and quiet (because of no fan). That is a paraphrase of his comment. Grabbed a couple and have zero issues/complaints. Now, in the beginning, I discovered if I had their gains cranked up, I'd hear spittle from the 402 driver. Also figured out that doing that used less of the upstream signal. Flipped it around and now, the amps are around 5 clicks from zero and I'm using more of the upstream signal and, they are dead quiet if you stick your ear in the horn (the spittle is gone) they are quiet because of no fan noise..... and if you want to get stupid, they can take the volume to stupid by simply adjusting the gains up. Don't really need K2's but that's what was available when I got them. I got the third K2 simply to match the first two. System would (probably, since I've never tried)....anyway, system would probably be just as quiet, sound just as good and go just as stupid loud if I had used K1's. I'd say, try one (if a single can work for you, if you biamp you'd obviously need two OR just use it for the bottom end) Anyway, try one.... they're not horribly expensive and you can resell them. Mine replaced a dbx BX1 on the bass bins and a McIntosh MC-2102 on the high end.... both gone, great sound and the cash in pocket was also nice.

The link to the thread is above, near the top of this page. On reading that other thread, I think the file is posted "around" page 5 (might have been page six) However, to make it easy-peasy, I'll attach that file here too!! Now, what I don't know is what HF driver is it profiled for. I'd guess the stock Klipsch driver. I've got a TAD on mine so am going to presume it's not profiled for that HF driver.

Ok, so I just proved my wife is right! (I'm a dumbazz) I not only found the profile on that old thread, I actually commented on it there! sigh.... pardon my intrusion into your constructive commentary here.

Are those available anywhere? I don't think I knew/heard this.

I'm down with round!

Mother of Pearl..... very nice. Would give attractive contrast to the (anticipated) walnut....

HA, well.....yes..... but I'm happy to not have started yet. bible is still my fathers.....in his posession, at his house. Not going to change hands, until it's time.....to change hands. I'm not going to make any sawdust until it's in my specific hands so I can get good measurements. It will ultimately go to my sister. So in the meantime, I get into starts/stops, doodling ideas over in my head. The more I doodle, the more I think of different things. Given that dad is 95 but still mobile and in good health (he just takes more frequent naps).... I'm ok if I don't get to make any sawdust for a number of years yet to come!

Preface: I'm going to make a display box for an old family bible. Wouldn't surprise me if it was 150 or more years old. My understanding is my grandparents had it when my father was a child (and it was passed down to them). My dad is now 95... I've got a swirl of ideas so this is me throwing some spagatti onto the walls to see if this is even viable. one idea is to insert a decorative (say, 1/4") brass rod so the "dot" would show against the (probably walnut). Purely decorative. Don't yet know where the rod might go....but I know I'll be routing the top/lid section.....which had me wondering..... Could one drill the hole, say, 1/2" deep, take a 9/16th's length of brass rod, set it in epoxy but now it's sitting a bit proud. Could you THEN take the router and have the router trim the rod down flush with what/how ever you are routing? (route the wood and brass together) Part of me says probably but you'll likely ruin your bit (wouldn't a carbide live through that?) If it worked BUT ruined the bit, that might be an acceptable tradeoff as you can always buy another bit. Another part says it might bugger up the brass. Probably won't leave it as clean as I'm picturing it in my mind. I'm thinking there are more reasons to NOT do it than to try. But if my "creative side" (HAHAHA That's a joke!!!) Anyway, if I lean to wanting to do something like that, I'm wondering how well it might work or other issues.

I think it's (highly?) discouraged..... Welcome back!

I would have done 60 pair, for the 60th anniversary. I don't see the logic (or merit for the time involved) to simply do a dozen. Guess there's a reason my first name isn't Amar.

Voice of wisdom. Sorry for your loss and best of luck in whatever you pursue.

LaScalas 1979. Don't recall date, was warm weather so summer. Dorm room at Miami University (Ohio) I always get a kick out of what percent of your life have you owned them? Owned them for 45 years, I'm 64 so 70% of my life. Very few things do I now have, that I've had that long.

Just read Babadono's comment (who cut in line just before I posted to beat me to it!!) Maybe you need to define what "if they were covered" means? How bout a room divider!?

I've never seen them in person but I'd have to think you could "simply" install one. The K402 (the older version, so I presume this one also) has holes on the top and sides. This is what the wooden frame should attach to (but I don't know what 100% on the new version) When putting together, get some fabric, wrap it around the front of the horn and then install the wooden frame for it. Little doubt (to me) that would work but again, I've never seen them in person.

hmmm horns are honky bunch of white guys cant see your noses well enogh to say anyone has a honker dont get me started on the geese
