I would find a pair of RB-75's. With the K-50.1 1.75" titanium dome compression tweeter, they are a real over-achiever. I use one pair in a room 15 x 22 with 11 ceiling in a 2.1 configuration with outstanding results.

I offer the attached.......K-43 Specifications.pdf

Scrappydue, Sent you a message . . . . .

I am really surprised these aren't sold yet. These are fabulous speakers at a fabulous price. The 510 horn is outstanding (I've had both 402 and 510), but the real winner in this deal is the B&C DE75 tweeters. I much prefer the DE75 to the K69. Somebody jump on this great deal. . . . .

Favorite table saw: Sawstop - Excellent build quality and dust collection. Safety feature keeps all fingers attached. Sawstop is expected to announce a new worksite table saw complete with excellent dust collection and blade safety devise. http://www.sawstop.com/ Favorite power tools: Festool, by far. German made precision with superior dust extraction. All tools work together in a system. I gave all my Bosch and Porter Cable to my son. He tried my Festools and thinks he got a bad deal. http://www.festoolusa.com/

I saw that one, too, but the price is waaaay strong.

Thanks, jonnydrama. The sub at Guitar Center is sold. Still looking . . . . .

Might any of you have a XW-500D subwoofer you might be willing to sell? My friend lost his (and everything else) in a house fire and I'm trying to find a replacement for him. Thanks!

Hi Youthman, I will offer an additional option for your consideration. My daughter wanted/needed a small system for her apartment. I researched the small 5.1 systems and discovered the highly-rated, Klipsch-owned, Energy Take Five Classic 5.1 for sale at newegg.com for $349. A few days later, I found it on sale at newegg for $299 and bought a set. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882269024 At the same time, Fry's Electronics had the Denon AVR-300 on sale for $199. Bought that, too. After assembling the system, I was quite surprised at how good it sounded, so much so that I bought 4 more AVR-300 / Take Five Classic 5.1 sets for my kids and a guest room. My son came over to listen and he thought the RB-5's were playing. Nope, it's the little guys . . . . . If you monitor the newegg site and the Fry's site, you will find that the receiver and speakers are on sale for those friendly prices from time to time. This combo would let your friend get started for a bit over $500 and permit upgrading as desired.

Nowhere does Klipsch use the 4 ohm K-48 in double-driver configuration. They, instead, use the 8 ohm K-45s, wired in parallel. The KPT-904, KP-450, and KP-456 all use dual K-45 in a ported cab. It will all depend on your design objectives.

Here's an old sheet. I would think the K-45 might be preferred for a double-bass cab. Think KPT-904LF. K-1545:K-1548.pdf

Attached is another spec sheet for the KP-3002C, using the K-65 and K-48 with crossover spec at 800Hz. KP-3002-C.pdf

I was referring to the KP-262 spec sheet attached to my thread above, where it shows a 700Hz crossover. The spec sheet attached is for the 1990's vintage KP-262 manufactured under KLIPSCH PROFESSIONAL / WWR Technology. The version on the current Klipsch web site is the 2000-2004 vintage KP-262 that may use a different driver, OR, there's a typo on either the current web site or the attached spec sheet. It certainly makes sense that the crossover would be higher, but Klipsch engineers have been known to use drivers outside the spec range. Maybe Trey or Michael Colter or Steve Philips can way in here with the real info. Either way, the K-65 driver on the 604 horn is a real over-achiever.

The KP-262, a fabulous speaker, uses the K-65 on a K-604 horn with a K-42 woofer. The crossover is 700Hz. KP-262.pdf

You might consider the KPT-325. http://www.klipsch.com/kpt-325 The 325 is only 12" deep. Buy an acoustically transparent DIY screen from Chris Seymour at http://www.seymourav.com/screensDIY.asp for under $300. Mount the screen in front of the KPT-325 The 904HF with the 510 horn and KDE-75 (or TAD) driver will compliment your Jubs.

Call 800-KLI-PSCH Make selection for "Parts" Place order for a K-1122-OB, 8" woofer. As I recall, they are about $40, plus shipping and sales tax.

I want 510s with KDE-75s!

Hi ZachA, The top-of -the-line Denon AVR-X4000 should be number one on your list. It will be in your budget range. Perhaps even the 4520CI.

Hi TA, I'm a bit confused by your indicated 97db sensitivity for Bob's woofer. It has been my understanding that the Crites woofers were fabricated with the same specs as the OEM K-33. If my understanding is correct, the sensitivity of the Crites in a Cornwall cabinet should be the same 102db as the Cornwall. That said, we recently discovered how good the Klipsch KDE-75-8P driver is, especially on the K-510 horn, when we bought KPT-904s. This driver/horn combo is the KPT-904HF. The Cornscala-type LF with the KPT-904HF is going to be very similar to the new Klipsch KPT-325 in the cinema line. The sensitivity of the KDE-75-8P (B&C DE75) driver is 108db. You will need to pad the HF down to match the woofer cab.

Hi Scrappydue, The KPT-325 should be a fantastic speaker! Think of the KPT-315 bass cabinet as extremely similar to the Chorus I low end. Both the 315 and the Chorus I use a K-48 woofer in a ported cabinet of approximately equal volume. The KPT-904HF is the B&C DE75 driver on the 510 horn. This is a terrific top-end! If I understand correctly, these are the same drivers/horn many of you heard at the pilgrimage in Hope last year when Klipsch introduced the Ki-396 speaker. You'll need to ask Roy if the HF is set a bit hotter (louder) than the LF on the passive netword for firing through a theater screen. If it is, it's likely not more than 3 or 4 db which is easily accomodated and adjusted by any receiver/pre with Audyssey.

I think most that have the KPT-904 will disagree with that statement. I for one own both and think the 904 out performs the LaScala by a significant margin. It is well worth the time to set the 904 up properly. Many hours were spend dialing mine in and the results are very pleasing. +1 on the disagree Sent you PM, MG

Hi Mustang Guy, I'll give it a shot, having owned all three, but in two-way configuration. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by the KPT-904-LF having trouble keeping up with the KPT-KHJ-LF (Jub). Here are some specs: KPT-KHJ-LF - sensitivity 105db, -10db at 34Hz (half-space, I believe) KPT-904-LF - sensitivity 104db, -10db at 32Hz (half-space, I believe) LaScala LF - sensitivity 104db, -4db at 53Hz (not sure whether half-space or 1/8th space) As you can see, all three will play equally loud with the same input. The Jub and the LaScala will have the wicked-fast, low-distortion, horn-loaded character. The 904 is a bass reflex. The difference between the 904 and the Jub will be somewhat similar to the Cornwall (bass reflex K-33) vs the K-horn (horn-loaded K-33). With active EQ, the Jub LF response can be improved somewhat with minimal increase in distortion. My experience with the HF side is limited to K-402 and K-510 horns (lenses) and the K-69 and KDE-75 (B&C DE75) drivers, all in two-way configuration. The 402 is the better of the two horns, but the 510 is no slouch. The 510 is excellent. The KDE-75 is the better of the two drivers by a fairly significant margin, imho. The configuration you "need" will depend on a number of variables including, but not limited to: WAF, Budget, Active vs passive, size and configuration of listening space, etc. My Jubs (402 w/ k-69) were powered by Crown XTi 1000 with active EQ, delay, and crossover. My 904s (510 w/ KDE-75) are powered with a simple Denon receiver and sound fantastic. The 904s use the simple, 4-component, 12db/oct crossover that came with them in 1999. The HF sections of both options will run 3-4db hotter than the LF. You can compensate with active EQ or, as I discovered, the Audessey XT-32 in the Denon recognized the hotter HF and compensated automatically. It's magic!

Thanks, Gents. Gonna need them fairly soon to do the install and EQ.
