P.S. I forgot one thing...the Speakerlab K had the tweeter mounted in a vertical position, which I would guess was designed to shorten the height of the upper pod...I think for my project this would also be the prefered mounting...the original Klipschorn, of course, had it mounted horizonally...what do the Klipsch experts think about this one?

Hello all, I have gained a treasure of information from this site in the last few weeks. I had previously owned a pair of Speakerlab K's which I had built from kits in 1974. I had decided to upgrade to a new style speaker 2 years ago to gain all the audiophile "things" that I was told I was missing, such as imaging, soundstage, and losing the honkyness of the horn speakers. After chasing the elusive things I had lost from the K's and gained with my new setup I have decided to build a new set of K's and improve them. Now the questions...I will purchase a used set of LaScalas and rob the components...second I am considering rotating the upper pod for the mid and tweeter approx 10 degrees further into the room to improve imaging. I will be using a much denser plywood, called appleply, which is 9 layers thick in 1/2 inch to improve strength and decrease resonance. I am planning to use the Speakerlab plans, although I also have the Klipsch plans to draw on as well. I will also dynamat and deaden the tweets & mid horn as learned on this site, and may install the ALK crossover at a later date...So Any additional ideas or comments??? Thanks for reading Russ
