Not sure where you pulled that 90 Hz frequency and Klipschorn from.

If you absolutely refuse a horn loaded subwoofer in the room a big stack of substantial subwoofers will work.
There really is no way to make conventional drivers sound or act like horns.

Ex wife
Mine was the Devil.
Last split (no longer married) gave her my Chevy sedan to help with the kids and get around. Gets stolen Christmas morning in front of her mom's running full of the kids presents. Months later Police call me middle of the night telling me they have my car, look in my garage and my cars still in there. She never switched the plates or titled the car in her name and ran parking tickets totaling hundreds $$$. Never helped dropping the kids off either.
Just one mishap to cheer you up.

I went to audition some Zu speakers a few years ago and a guy had a pair in the room. I asked to hear them and was fairly disappointed. All midrange, very little extension top or bottom. Kind of muddy too, even with an 8K Line Magnetic amp pushing them.
Sounds about right.

Good choice on the THT, you will need to adjust the volume as the driver breaks in and to get the most out of your new subwoofer I recommend a MiniDSP or equivalent and calibrated microphone.

Some speaker manufacturers (plus some component) know the break-in claim is nonsense but allow it to persist b/c it helps reduce the number of people who return speakers b/c they failed to live up to expectations that were often set by wildly glowing reviews, online group-think, etc.. Some companies (not necessarily Klipsch) know if they specify a long-enough break-in time, people will simply grow accustomed to the sound of their new speakers and become resigned to keeping them. Or maybe they'll go back and reread the glowing reviews and will simply convince themselves.
Do you really think PWK would support the idea of 400 hr breakin period?? Of course not. ..Nor did Bob Crites. ..In fact he said it took a few mere minutes.Jeez, where are my wading boots.

Russian capacitors from the cold war era used a glass to metal hermetic seal. Shelf life is forever.

I remember attending an AutoRama Show in Detroit (where else?) many Moons ago. A well dressed young man (suit and tie) was the Representative for a company that made 1 and 2 FARAD (1,000,000 to 2,000,000 Microfarads) capacitors to go in the trunk of the car so that when the Stupid Subwoofers that piss off homeowners and other drivers would not "sag" the instrument panel displays while the 1 and 2 KILOWATT amplifiers were doing their best to vibrate the car apart while killing the hearing of passengers.
It's the furthers thing from HI FI. This battery seem to be a product that would appeal to those idiots.
Something similar at Summerfest in Wisconsin, big croud. I had a peek and all in for good sound but that's not it.

Start with the biggest loudspeakers that fit through the doorways and then "settle" on something smaller.

There are car battery manufactures that make lithium batteries that bass heads use for the primary power source of their systems.
Smaller, stronger, lighter but will they last ? Big$$$$

Bondo & block sanding. They sell products to color blend. Or veneer if it wasted.

Where would they get their customer/tech support
Let's hope it don't go to overseas somewhere with a thick accent you cannot understand like many others, I've had an awful hard time understanding foreign tech support helpers multiple times.

Foreign cars not my specialty, not that I hate them.

Over the years, I've owned three Jaguars and now drive a Land Rover. For many, I'm an idiot because everyone "knows" they are oil-leaking pieces of junk that spend more time in the shop than they do on the road. The fact that this has not been my experience at all not withstanding, those beliefs are considered by many to be absolute truth and there are those who want to make sure others know that truth.
I, for one, don't feel it is my place to correct anyone's thinking. There are, of course, exceptions (i.e. someone pointing a gun at their own head in the belief that .45 slug won't hurt them). I may offer an opinion or engage them in dialog, but I try to keep in mind that my obviously superior knowledge on any and every matter could be wrong. Unless the subject is bourbon. Anyone who doesn't agree that Wild Turkey 101 is the best bang for the buck just doesn't have their head on straight. 🥳
I remember those, the shop squeaky clean used giant sized maxi pads to collect the leaking oil so nobody slipped in it after the customer pulled in.

Well I guess I’m the only one that will say what they want to say.
Others can just sit there.
I’m done with this tread now. Because I don’t see any point anymore.
Nothing will change. And we will not be able to comment on any post.
So next time there is a junk item. I’m going to comment on it. And say.
Wow that’s amazing, looks great. And wow what a great price it is. Knowing that it’s a complete lie. LOL

Not gonna happen... My guess is If corporate had their way there would be no Forum if they read the majority of the posts. They don't even pay a moderator.
Near free advertising not to mention the power of word of mouth ?
I don't see it but it wouldn't be the first time.

Nice weather for class A today, Spotify on random.
Lucky one too, a roofing and construction place actually called me back. Let's hope they don't drive by and make a quick exit.

Lots of excuses and sales fluff, I feel sorry for everybody involved.
Never a jeez we made a mistake. Honesty seems rare these days.
