Same with mine. When unscrewing and dismounting the circuit bin, should I be extra careful of something as to not damage anything ?

How do you open it and dismount the crossover ? Screw on the side are pretty difficult to reach.

Yes, this is possible. Anyway, not a costly repair. [8-|]

Defective since day one, no. I would have hear it [] and Cochet too. He's been doing the placement of these in two different homes since 2003. Distortion occurs since about 2 weeks. Unexpectedly.

No test available, but to my ear, the distortion comes clearly from the center of the medium horn.

BigCliff. Overpowered : no. They're driven since day 1 by the same tube Preamp and Amp custom made for the K-Horn by Yves COhet, one of the best french sound engineers. The amp is 22 watts. I switched the L/R cables on the amp : the distortion is still in the left K-Horn. I changed all the tubes : no avail either. Clipped signal : no. Beethoven/Serkin and Chopin/Arrau don't send clipped signal…

Suddenly, one of my two K-Horn (bought new in feb. 2003 - built in october 2002) suffers distortion clearly audible especially with piano (Beethoven). Typical "cracked" sound in the upper range. Why is that ? How this could occur ? I called my dealer and he should be able to sell me a new diaphragm. Any insight from someone here ?

I remember vaguely the way you calculate year of built for the K-Horn. My # number : KB WO17 0232 0004 I bought them in 2003, and I think they were built in 2002. Correct ?

Thank you, Dean. As I'm not an expert, I would need to find someone in the know to do the job. What improvements may I expect from such a replacement ? Yours Johan F.

My dear Clare Quilty;-) Thank you. I'm gonna look for BEC.

Is asked Duelund for an upgrade for my K-Horns (year2003). They asked me this : Can you determine if any cap, resistor or inductors are placed in series with the drivers. And what value is printed on them. How can I get these informations ? Thanks to all Johan F.
