KLIPSCHORN LOVER

I asked these questions before but no one really gave me an answer to the original questions. So here goes again, I'm relatively new to this forum, so hopefully all of you can bear with me. I am going to build a set of Speakerlab K's and I know the best driver (or so i read) is the K33. Are there any other drivers that can be used that offer the same or better performance sonically? With a higher power rating? As I search the net I see the parameters for the K33's on Volvotreter's website. I know he said that he would use the K33 if he did it all over again, but I want to get as many options as possible before I buy, as I am not independently wealthy. [] While searching, I have found alot of18" drivers matching and far surpassing the "at least" parameters posted on his site. Could a driver this size be used? Has anyone ever tried an 18" in a Khorn cab? Will it even fit? If the driver parameters better match with 18's why are they not used? Would an 18 make the cabinet sound terrible? Hopefully I haven't typed anyones eyes off. Have a great week.

Are you mounting between studs? I might have a few ideas, email me at broncoalex@hotmail.com. Alex

Hi everyone, I am trying to email all of you those plans, but I have been so busy with finals at school that I havent had time. I have the email reply turned on so I get all the posts on the forums. After this week I can catch up on emailing all you folks. Have a great week all, Alex

Is Bob on the forum? Do you have his number/website? Thanks for the quick reply. Also, I have plans for K-horns I think they are vintage 50's if anyone wants them I can email them to them. I have some cool plans for wood squakers and tweeter too. Just ask I will send them to you. Have a great weekend all. WILL TRADE MACHINING SERVICES FOR MACINTOSH EQUIPMENT WORKING OR NOT!

Hello all, I am new to forums online so I hope I post correctly. I have a tech question hopefully someone might answer. I am building a set of Speakerlab-K's to realize owning a set of K-Horns. I am trying to select a driver. I have read Volvotreter's webste and he states the parameters for the driver selection as follows: very low Fs (<25Hz) <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> high Qts (>0.5) large Xmax (>6mm) large BL products >10 T*m Nominal impedence at 4ohms (horn loading brings it closer to 8 in operation) Compliance numbers around 0.3mm/N. The "orginal" plans call out a driver with lowest possible Fs preferably below 25Hz When I search the net for drivers I find only a handful meeting these parameters in 15". Hopefully my next question doesn't give anyone a migraine or a heart condition LOL. Here goes: While searching I found more drivers that are 18" matching the parameters than the 15". Has anyone ever installed this size into a K-Horn or is it physically impossible/ sonically horrible? I am a decent woodworker, and the plans for these seem relatively easy. Since I don't have unlimited monetary resources, I am trying to find the suitable drivers that I can put in and forget about them. Hopefully I didnt talk everyones eyes off. Have a great weekend all.
