    Klipsch Belle's

    As you know, KLF 10 are just plain great speakers! I have K-horns and enjoy the KLF10 as well. The KLF10 dig deep with plenty of punch. Don't get me wrong, the Belle are classics but won't have the low bass that you're used to. Perhaps hook up those KLF with an active crossover and use them as stereo subwoofers with the Belles? That would kick hard!

    1986 K-horns, laminated walnut, in very good condition. Original drivers, AK 3 crossovers. Some slight wear on the laminated corners of one, and a few faint scratches here about there, but shiny and great looking overall. They are easy to maintain because of the laminate, and shine very easy with the application of high quality wood surface products. The tops are removable and rotatable. I have them that way because of my small room, as shown in photos. Side grilles are also removed in the photos because the house has side moldings and didn't fit well with them on. Grills will be reattached for demo, as well as the top hats back to stock positioning unless requested otherwise. I'd love to keep them, but my current place doesn't have even remotely decent corners.

    Which 2" compression driver?

    Thanks for the input! I'm currently using K55M and EV 2inch adapters. How big of an impact does the high quality 2inch driver make? I understand Be drivers are great, owning some Yamaha speakers that feature them. I'll have to wait for TAD, too expensive. I like metal diaphragms, hence my interest in the Eminence also. I'm curious about the BMS, what material do they use? I understand the phenolic drivers have a warmth to the sound. Is this lack of detail? Argh I wish I could hear them first hand! Qualitative comparisons are greatly appreciated.

    I understand that BMS is highly recommended, but I've heard good things about the latest Eminence Ti large format drivers also. I'm using K-horns with Crites 4500 crossovers on Vtrac horns and Beyma Cp 25 tweeters. I'd love to find a bargain, obviously. Thanks for suggestions!

    Those round rubber horn gaskets...

    I'm using my K55M with EV 2inch adapters and Vtrac horns in my K-horns. I'm still waiting to decide on a large format horn driver upgrade. I was wondering, the EV adapters have horn gaskets that are more narrow and less obstructive than the old orange ones. I do recall reading that the old gaskets helped the top end or something along those lines, but are they necessary when I'm not using K400 anymore? The horn path is much more open with the new gaskets. I'm wondering if anyone has compared? Thanks!
