    I have two kp 450 A-LF KLIPSCH 

    With serial number 053396883. 

    These things are like 5 foot tall and I'm sure they work just never hooked them up . Can anyone tell me anything about them 

    the KP-450A are klipsch Pro speakers with casters and handles , your speakers were Made in 1993 based on the serial # you provided

    - cabs are 3/4 inch birch plywood , the cabs come in 2 pieces , the Low Frequency cab has two 15 inch K-45-E woofers , the HF cabinet has a K-69M compression driver with a K-501 horn 

  2.  the specs of the 70's -80's  K-55V with the original Atlas diaphragm indicated that it extended to 6KHz  whether single or dual phase plug  and so does the K-55M  , but the K-55M was hotter , and we all know that the newer 2001 K-55X , PD5VH  including the newer D-20GB diaphragms only extend to 4100Hz .

    Well finally got around to comparing these two passives and just now noticed they have different baskets 

     

    Jesse ,  do both passives have the same diameter or is the KD-15-ST a tad larger , does the KD-15-ST fit in the Forte II

  4. great idea ,  buy an AA kit from JEM + the missing parts ,  skip the Zener diodes    , if you dont like the sound of the K-55M with the AA , you can sell these off and buy K-55V drivers , both K-55V and K-55M extend to 6KHz as long as the diaphragms are Original .

     . It's possible that during the time of the thread, they might have experienced temporary communication issues or challenges in responding promptly to inquiries.

    Klipsch had staff shortages during the beginning of the pandemic  , but this was pretty much the same in all industries , with the lock down , and people working from home  with less resources , but oddly at the same time as the outbreak and social distancing ,   Klipsch got a boost in sales with products selling out like hotcakes raising the amount of inquiries exponentially .

    Interesting thread. I was just asking these same questions. From what I've gathered, they say the 19's  

      the Altec Model 19 cant be compared to a Lascala -Khorn or even a Cornwall , it was basically a large 70's studio monitor with veneer and grilles
