    you were all right about the Tads and the 402!

    Hello All,

    I did order and received the two horns for $621.30 (plus shipping). I already bought two pairs of TAD 4002.  One pair from ebay recently.  I bought one K402/k1132 from ebay some months ago; I can use this one as sample to build the brackets and bases for the other k402/TAD 4002 set.  I may take me another year to have the whole set of RT-C-LT complete, I will post pictures then.

     

    I thought to share the information on this forum so more people can buy the horn and Klipsch can sell more.  I just think that if they can sell more they can make money with the quantity.  I do not think it will cost Klipsch that much to make the horn.  Selling mass quantity, they can make up for the research fund.  It also will help their reputation too.  There are many competitive horns out there from JBL, QSC, etc...

     

    Unfortunately, may be I am the only one lucky enough to get just the horn.  Spencer told me that, if you bought the set horn/driver/bracket from klipsch, they will sell you the horn for replacement, after verifying the original purchase.

     

    Good luck

    triamp klipschorn step by step with pictures

    Hi Preston Tom,

    The lightspeed passive preamp has only one output and one input. The signal chain would be:

    Sources: CD, DAC, reel to reel, or turn table

    The source will go to passive preamp (lighspeed). will control the volumn for the whole system

    Then go to DBX drive rack 260. The 260, with a laptop, will control all the time alignment/eq/x-over frequencies/individual volumns for each drivers.

    Then go to the amps. The volumns to each amp will control by the DBX via computer above.

    The to the raw speaker drivers.

    So the signal path will be a mix of analog and digital (volumn control)

    Above are the setup that I plan to do based on my limited self-learning knowledge.

    Please comment and advice

    Hello Klipsch Experts,

    I have a klipschorn bought from ebay some years ago. They are now still at my friend's home. I am planing to bring it back home and hook it up to triamp set up. What I would do are these step:

    1) use the "lightspeed" passive preamp as the preamp

    2) Use a tube amp Decware for the highend

    3) use Aronov ls-9100 mono block for mid end (tube)

    4) Use Citation power amp 7.1 for bass (solid stage)

    Could you show me yours triamp klipschorn set up with pictures?

    Can you change any or all components list above?

    any suggestion is more than well come and appreciated

    Thank you

    Hello All,

    Have any one had any experience with space lab tech's products http://www.space-tech-lab.com/?

    I am looking for decent tube amp/preamp within my reach in term of budget about $5000.00. I am thinking of using active crossover for my klipschorn. The sources can be either from cd, computer, reel to reel, or turntable. Then go to tube preamp. Next will be dbx 260. Then three separate amps to the three drivers. I would like to ask if I can use the digital amp for the bass. And tube amps for the mid and high.

    I see on the net there are alot of chinese tube pres/amps such as: Yaqin, ming da, music angel, Melody...And then space tech lab and Frenzel http://www.frenzeltubeamps.com/page30.php I realy do know what to choose. Please help

    Here is what I have:

    Speakers: Klipschorn, Klipsch cornwall, klipsch forte 1, and klipsch kg4.2
    turn table: Technics 1200
    Reel to reel: Otari 5050 bII, technics, Akia
    CD: sony will update to OPPO
    Citation 7 amp
    Sansui 9090 db
    Aronov monoblocks
    Marantz MA500 monoblocks
    My objective is to stay with one system for long time. And i listen to all kind of music: classical, jaz, pop, choir, instrument, movie sound track etc...
    Please help.
    THank you

    Hi,

    I have Citation 7.1 amp and Mcintosh c32 pre. to drive klipsch forte (later will be klipschorn and cornwall). For me the sound is very good. I do not have a tube amp to compare to the SS set that I have now. Please tell me what do I miss? (how much better a tube amp sound?). What tube amp do you recommend for a new bee like me?

    Why Bob Crites prefer SS over tube? This is what he would ask PWK: "Why do so many of the Klipsch speaker owners insist that your products are meant to be used with tubes when you went to solid state in around 1971?"

    Thanks so much.

    sorry for late response (I just got back from work). I just got the speakers from ebay recently. I this they have AA X-over. A friend of mine keep the speakers for me now since I have to re-organize my house. he use a yamaha receiver (about 6 years old). The high is ok. The midle is excellence. But the bass is not as punchy as my small kg4.2 (the Kg4.2 is place in small room). We have one of the k-horns in one corner. The other is 1 foot away from the wall and next to a door. I will post some pictures when I come to my friend's house next weekend.

    Thanks
