Hey Larry , If your turntable stays very close to the speaker then the magnet force of the basspeaker can mess up the tracking of your tonearm.....the needle jumps out of the groove...and boom....boom.. Ben

Larry , Just what buckster said ........definitely feedback.. It is only one speaker ? Set the right and left output from the turntable over ? See if it moves over to the other speaker.... Ben

DVD concerts in 2 channel also! You are'nt the only one . I started DVD with a 5.1 system and a Yamaha DSP A1 amp with La-Scala's and Heresys. Never get the sound right . Now i end up with only the La-Scala's in stereo and no SUB . I think the industrie isn't ready yet ............just my opinion .....[] Yes , the Cream great performance .... Ben

All that Boom Boom you hear in Car Audio is Noise Pollution . Totaly agree [] ...............So i am with you oldbuckster ! Okey , it is the bass what can make "music" spectacular . But at the long term i think music has to be more in balance............or something ? Ben

Exactly , Some has told me you can't measure with your ears...................[] Bennyboy

Al , I was thinking of a universal network or maybe a ALK junior. I was aware you have a network for the 4500 Hz crossover. But with the combination of a "ES 4500" and "ES 500 T" my wife would have mine suitcases ready.[] Ben

Dean , "The extra extension is nice, but I think the real strength of this driver is on its low end." Exactly ! ! I have been waiting on mine tweeters for almost three weeks when i ordered them . Shipping to the Netherlands is real slow. Anyway , in the mean time i heard everybody talking about cymbals and the high end of this tweeter. But when i heard this tweeter yesterday on Saterday 18 march for the first time ................it was powerful. This means you can cross it earlier ............. i still like the K-400 Okey we have a difference of opinion about the AL-4 and AK-4. It was intend to be for 4500....................? But Dean and All , when you have a network ready for 4500 Hz i will be the first ! When you are a "technical" listener i think you will need a trac-horn with a Beyma. I am a technical listener and know i miss some detail in the K-400. But i like the sound the way it is. Thank you, Ben

Wolter, X = cross O = over Crossover or network Om niet al teveel te hoeven typen op je toetsenbord [] For using simple lettercombinations for fast typing [] Regards, Bennyboy

Well i have one , Only problem.......i am at the other side of the ocean !! Bennyboy

Guys, When you have a material of 12 percent Glass you would not asked about different Colors ! Again , this is a high tech material and VERY difficult to mold . All different color options destroy the mechanical strengths of the material !!!! Because of the high percent Glass you need a strong molding machine . You will need a very high pressure to fill the product . Black because of the graphite will give you the best results......... Anyway , i could go on for hours.................... The man sure knows what he is doing ! The pictures of the mold tells me enough Bennyboy

Wolter, "But why that question ? " I don't think you want to build something with a dome tweeter when you are used to horns............i think I see you are coming from the Netherlands......................like me.[] You can visit me for a listening ? Ben BTW nothing wrong with the Klipsch 2.1 ! !

Be sure that they are the original weight at the beginning...........[] shame on you Coytee............ for such thoughts [][] Ben

Bob, Thank you !! This is a high quality material . Ben

Bob, The material of the Hornlens ? Is it made of glass fibre reinforced plastic ? Anyway, the pictures looks very good to me...........nice logo ! Ben

First I live in the Netherlands so if I want to buy, let's say klipsch RF-7, I pay 2000 EACH!! so that's never going to happen, they have cut the prices almost in half now, so i am getting closer. But like I said before money isn't growing on my back. But I do have the klipsch promedia 2.1 and I blame them for getting me into DIY contest. Wolter , Maybe you get me wrong ? I only ASKED if you ever heard hornloaded speakers ?[] It isn't important if you have the money ! Bennyboy

It is NOT a time alignment...................... The wood of the motor board will block the tweeter a bit......... Don't bother leave it that way. Bennyboy

Bob has already sleepless nights...................... a new thread would be nice............... Bennyboy

Bob, I am glad you have keep the looks of the Klipsch Heritage line . When you are ready you can send them to the Netherlands...... Bennyboy

Al, Okey , is the K-400 that bad ? I mean, Paul took almost a lifetime in his horns . Most important he was aware of life music................ Bennyboy

Dear Wolter, First ,welcome to the forum ! I have one question . Have you ever listened to Hornloaded speakers and Klipsch in particular ??? Bennyboy

Yes !!! finally a Dutch band , thank you D-man....... Focus with Jan Akkerman guitar and Thijs van Leer on flute and Pierre van der Linden on drums. But even Jan Akkerman had a big fight with Thijs van Leer about who is the best in that band................ finally the band broke up ! Maybe Jan Akkerman can play ............I feel more comfortable with Jimi Hendrix........ Bennyboy

Okey : Jimi Hendrix Ray Cooder Paco de Lucia Paco Pêna Chet Atkins Les Paul Andreas Segovia David Russel Bennyboy
