is that the same elliptical horn made of wood that SHU was mentonning above before
-
what does the elliptical look like - I think I saw these made out of wood on this forum or was it the waveguides - these were made to fit the APT 50 - if I am remember right - do you have a picture and the cost of that elliptical horn that can post - tx
-
no problem here - now if he sold the horns seperately - I am sure that a bunch of people who have APT drivers would buy these -
-
definitely a bad speaker choice for you - Heresies are best at sound at ear level - they are lifeless , by that , you mean uncolored -yep that is right - they are over 10 hours old - they are broken in , now your ears have to adapt to the speaker-as well , - - the heresy 3 is not a modern sounding speaker - although a good monitor - klf 10 is better in my book - more bass - more definition - punchier -
-
thanks mike - it is a good idea - now if you dont have a k77 horn - there are also those cheap Piezo tweeters 2$ that have a horn like the k77's - exactly like the ones tlipsch put in the tweeter arrays in the big pro series - that is the cheapest way to avoid scrapping a k77 horn lense
-
a few years ago - when he was experimenting with his new machine to make the CT125 horn , - he made batches of different colors that were really nice - some were clear - I dont remember if some were other colors than black - but the idea is that he can make them in any color -
-
the CT 125 horn lense does the job perfectly- - The machine that Bob Crites has can also make a k77 horn fit with any tweeter in the world -so sky is the limit there to look stock while bearing a totally different tweeter -
-
agreed totally - the horn he made is very good -100% - perfect -
-
or make my own - I have access to these mahines - you would have to make the concept and produce a few units -
-
you can use the front of the k77 with a APT 50 - it can be done but it is a mess to cut and glue - and looks awful - Bob Crites made the CT125 by purchasing a machine that fabricates a k77 horn with the right adaptor for the apt 50 old style and maybe new style as well - that is where the driver and horn work well together -

I really dont like the K33 no matter what I try in a Cornwall unless you listen to jazz - classical music at low volumes - the moment you pop in the rock and live music loud , it is like adding a mountain of uncontrolable bass -- it is just awful - now the k43 is much better - in contrast - a k33 will sound good in a scala - but not a cornwall 1 -is it the cone that does not have a high excursion or just too stiff - it is maybe because it is rear mounted - a k33 is to me an old - era woofer that is made for the purists only - 50's -60's style -you want to have a rock -dance music woofer - it wont be a cornwall 1 -surprisingly a similarly equiped heresy 1 iwith k22-k55v -k77 is a charm - add a k28 and the heresy 1 is a gem - - -now you take a k48 8 ohms - made by Eminence - is that ever a really good woofer that expands the sound - and that can handle pretty much a host of music types -a lot of power handling - - bass is tight , -chest pounding speaker in a chorus - now if Eminence made a k48 4 ohms - I would put it in a Cornwall 1 to try - IMHO

I'm there Thaddeus Smith.....my last e-mail to him was this afternoon.......he has my number......done!!!MKP the seller was maybe in need of urgent money , so he put the lowest price in order to do a quick sale - on ebay he would have gotten 800$ ina couple of days , no problem
-
same tweeter as a heresy and the same horn lens - fantastic - plywood 3/4 inch cabinet - 8 inch woofer - they should sound very good with a 7.1 home theatre system with a bunch of these all over -
-

Since you asked, I've been doing some critical listening. I made the decision to buy based on Moray James recommendation and Alex L's recommendation after he did some major upgrading to his CF-4's. Alex is solidly behind the 1506 sound. I don't normally do critical listening with only one of each speaker working, but here goes. If I did a blind test, I think I could tell the difference, but really both drivers sound pretty darn good. I listened to some acoustic guitar, and the 1506 sounds tremendous. It's like the difference between hearing a sound, and feeling a sound. The 1506 has more drive, a fatter more resonant sound. The human voice, in particular dialog sounds eerily real, not like a recording of a person, but like the person is in the room. The K-63-KN crosses over at 1600hz (was it 1400, Moray?) and the 1506 is essentially flat from 500 to 20,000, with a recommended XO of 800hz. I think the 1506 would sound even better if I modded the XO's and pushed the volume more. In the moderate volume at which I listen, they sound very similar. IMG_4290.JPG this monster driver must really perform with very loud sound - thanks for sharing the info - by the way , this must be very heavy duty and should hold up more than the k63 - did you know the diaphragms cost over 100$ - wow

No, after $4k outlay and a couple years and almost achieving the sound i was looking for, i gave up on anymore Klipscxh for personal use. i listened to everything in the Klipsch line. I own Khorns, Scallas for the house, for the Cave i went Pro, many people i was dealing with kept telling me this. Finely someone in Burbank spelled it out for me, Klipsch is a competitor for EAW, so i looked into EAW, Bingo. Although a tad short in the "Chrispy Horn" section, EAW was the ticket. Between MY Ears, and the Neighbors complaints, im closer now than iv ever been. Firing up The EAW stacks i learned quickly, Bi-Amped, Active MUST be done, and this i did. Will be moving to the outback in Nevada to fully enjoy soon. bravo - maybe you should be a sales rep for EAW
