Great price folks these 262's are seriously good.

How could we forget????

Thanks Roy not sure how many knew that I most certainly didn't.

Interesting I did not know that!

None of those are "road ready" with pole cups and handles.

I have been looking for a good PA setup for my son, I ended up getting some 262's from @bhendrix and some 480 subs from @JohnA both of which I will need to modify to accept poles/handles. I really wish Klipsch still made a few items in this series. A two way top and a three way top and a couple different subs would be nice. I looked at the JBL series and almost pulled the trigger on the SRX or PRX series but again wanted to stay with Klipsch. So was just curious on what happened adn most importanly why they dont offer a couple small packages. Travis I'm sure your probably right that it was due to economics.

"dreaming of a super MWM + K-402" This fall this needs to become a reality.

Like you I'm in a good spot for now. I tried many different combos. Currently enjoying essentially what is a KPT-942 setup.

Bump

Very nice Dave I like it. That MCM stack in the back looks like "go ahead let's see what you got' punk" lol.

Me too lol. I listen to both. I listen to digital when it is convenient to do so. I listen to physical media when I want to "escape" and listen for a few hours. The fact taht I can pull out a old CD read the liner notes see the scratches on the jewel case brings back memories of when I bought the CD and what I was in to back then, it's a way for me to "connect" to my music, I dont get that "connection" with digital media, kind of like driving a stick shift vs an automatic. Now when an artist is about to drop a new CD I always screen it on spotify and if I like the offering I go out and by the physical media. I will admit here lately I have been using the convenience of digital and always strive to get the best example I can.

I use a Drobo NAS that I bought from @Thaddeus Smith works flawllessly and acts as my plex server, great functionality and features.

I cant tell you anything that hasn't already been said. I have owned all 3 models and still own the 3's and 1's. To my ears the 3 is far in front of the other 2 models really no contest honestly. I hope by the time you read this you have already loaded them up.

Nice find! As others have said I would put covers over those passives. I did this with my Chorus 2's didn't effect the sound at all but gave me peace of mind as they are hard to find if damaged.

Got it. I'll also be cutting a hole in some 480's as they will be the bottoms with the 262's as the tops. Seems easy enough I was just looking for advice to make sure there wasn't nothing I was overlooking. Seems most folks use metal cups instead of plastic which is good to know.

I'm surprised no one has installed pole sockets in SPEAKERS. Maybe I should have put this in the tech/mod section of the foum? What say you @CECAA850

I like these and will get a pair to test out against the MPOW's I found. Thanks for the recommendation.

I fixed it CARL.

Ok I picked up a set of KI-262's awhile back from a fellow forum member and want to add pole sockets to them for my sons PA project. I found an old post from @colterphoto1 that had some instructions for doing this. I would like to hear from those that have installed these on speakers that did not come with them for any tips/tricks. I did my usual searches hoping to find a you tube video with no success. I will be installing cups on both the 262's and some 480's I'll be getting at a later date. Anyway all help is greatly appreciated. Old post from colter........ If you'd like to add a Pole mount socket to ANY speaker cabinet (make sure the mount will support the speaker's weight), here's an easy way to determine the center. Take a dowel rod (broom handle will work, put on a flat surface and balance the speaker on it, mark the point where the dowel touches the cabinet's bottom. Do likewise in the other direction. Flip speaker over, connect the lines - there is your center of gravity for mounting the pole socket so that weight will be evenly distributed. I like to use the metal cups from Parts Express. There are two standard sizes, 1 3/8 and 1 1/2, some stands come with an adapter and I try to use the larger size when possible, but make sure they mate up ok to your intended stands. I like to drill a hole exactly the size of the cup so it is supported by the 3/4 ply somewhat. DO NOT USE WOOD SCREWS they might pull out. Instead drill holes and use #10 flat head machine screws, flat and lock washers or nylon locking nuts on the inside of the cabinet.

Very impressive Dave.

Jon, I went down this round also. I have a 12x13 room with a cathedral ceiling. In my room they Khorn did not work. Now if I would have built backs on them then it may have been a completely different story, you might consider that as well. I now have KPT-942's in there and they sound outstanding. Unfortunately you are going to have to roll the dice and give em a spin as everyone's room and ears are different.

Man I just got my refurbished MC2105 from Terry or I would buy this from you. All, these are suppose to be outstanding amps for the money @moray james thinks highly of these so you know they are legit. GLWS!!

I would think if you can swing a deal to get both for under 1500 you should jump. I bought a pair from the Florida seller, I took them to a local body shop where they sprayed them black, they look brand new.

@totalcomfort has a drop down screen maybe he will chime in......

After almost 1-1/2 yrs I got my MC 2105 back from Terry Dewick. I'm at work at the moment but can't wait to get home and fire it up.
