Very interesting! If someone finds that comparison post, feel free to link to it here.

Thanks for the visual aid, Chris! I double checked the connections, and they're hooked up properly. For fun, I recently hooked up my EV HP 640 horns instead of the stock K400, and midrange might be more efficient. With a 5db midhorn drop via Al K transformer attenuators, things are really blending together quite well with the Crites tweeters. I'll do some more listening before possibly trying K77 again. Thanks guys!
-
Thanks, I'll check to make sure that the positive is connected to the marked input. I suppose my K77 may be the hotter variety. Perhaps I'll have to plop them back in again for another comparison.
-
Thanks for the input! I wasn't sure if the leads got swapped accidentally at some point. I believe there is a marker on the driver itself for positive, a dot maybe?
-
I wanted to make sure I have the tweeters hooked properly to the Crites A/4500 crossovers. In my big room, it seems like the K 77 had much more output. Perhaps I have them hooked up wrong. Which connector is positive on the driver itself? I was going by the leads, attaching the red, non-striped to positive thus far. I have the midrange horn knocked down 5db. Thanks!
-
Very interesting! I'm not normally playing them maddeningly loud, so perhaps that's why I don't find them offensive. The neighbor is an ***, so I'm limited when it comes to arena-loud levels of enjoyment.
-
I agree, the K400 provides a nice "liveliness" and tone. I wrapped my metal horns with damping materials; whether or not that made any difference is debatable. I simply did it because it was easy and I'm a tweaker at heart.
-
Sweet! Let us know what you snag.
-
I really don't get all the hate towards K400. With Crites crossovers in my setup, and now CT-125, the KHorns sound great. Midrange is clear, full, and intelligible. It doesn't sound honky. Getting that crossover right is a big deal.
-
Gosh! Why did he sell them? I just installed Crites upgrades in mine, and can't imagine selling them! Congrats and enjoy!
-
How is a horn lens overly bright? Not sure I understand. Thanks
-
I upgraded from my AK2 crossovers to these, along with Crites CT-125. They really smooth out the midrange and provide better balance overall.
-
Does the HP 640 extend low enough for use in a KHorn? I was thinking it was a 500hz horn.
-
I don't have any experience with that JBL, but I do have some HP640 and they're very nice sounding horns. I haven't tried mine with KHorns though.
-
Wow! Sweet deal on some really great speakers and a nice amp to boot.
-
Lol that's where I'm headed next.
-
Does anyone have a set they're interested in selling? Thanks
-
I recall reading somewhere that Crites tweeters offer some improvements over the stock APT drivers. Is this still the case? Has anyone compared?
-
To be somewhat specific, I have to turn down the region around 4000hz about 2db on the parametric eq built into my preamp. Not too drastic. I plan to try Crites tweeters a some point, but I was interested in trying the ol K77 first. It sounds very good!
-
I did mean tweeter level lol. It's too hot. Perhaps an lpad is the answer afterall.
-
Just to make sure, when I'm switching output taps on the 3654, I'm only adjusting midrange level? The tweeter level remains the same? Thanks!
-
Great info, thanks Dean! I did disconnect the crossover components inside the bass bin, but left the fuse connected to the woofer. I did not reconnect the tweeter/mid fuse, since it's placement makes that difficult.

Thanks for the details, Islander. Your experience seems to parallel mine.
