Ive got an opportunity to buy a sae p102 pre amp and a t 102 tuner new in box I'm not familiar with either they both say computer direct on the box's can anyone explain what the means and a fair price to pay if I would buy them thanks for your input

Congratulations on joining this forum and the khorns I to am new here think you will find there are a lot of friendly people here full of great insight and willing to share it I also just got a pair of k horns I would agree with cut throat tube amps sound very nice on heritage klipsch the basecabinet and the top may have a paper tag in them you can go to b& k sound on bobs home page he has a listing of the manufacturing date codes

daddy dee I am planning on posting the feed back of this crossover if Dean does not feel comfortable posting it here.as long as he is ok with it here I'm sure you will get a much better technical review from him here or on his face book page Stacy

yes they are pricey to say the least but if you are patient you will find something in your price range it took me a year but I finally found a pair of 1988 horns 150 miles from the house for what they are asking for the nicer lascalas

Dean you have a pm

thanks daddy dee yes I'm pretty sure they are cane they feel like a piece of cane that has been split then wove into the cloth ill post a better pic tomorrow or later tonight hopefully you can see better and verify for sure . Stacy

i was fortionate to buy a pair of 1988 khorns they sound good but lack the WOW factor i know they are cappable of after having mr crites rebuild my cornwall II crossovers the difference was wonderful when i got my bellas they sounded nice but new crites A4500 crossovers made a big difference so im pretty positive the khorns are in need of recapping my question is would the khorns sound the same no matter what brand of cap or is there a signiffacant difference from one to another i read a post in witch thebes mentioned russian capps are capps like tubes as in effecting sound thanks for any advice. im adding a couple pics for any klipschaholics like me my friends are threatining an intrvention lol stacy

Yeah I'm pretty stoked

Thanks cecaa850 you are right Google is my friend I knew I had seen it in one of posts I get a little one track minded sometimes just didn't occur to me to Google it

dennie the jolida is integrated is there a conflict by hooking it to the tuner as to use the tuner as the pre amp ?

Sorry to here that Russ when I saw the post they were for sale went to it cause I was also in market for horns and saw you were first in line when they sold I assumed you got them

Thanks dennie,last night I used a jolida f x 10 it is only ten watts per channel but it sounds really nice to me.right now I'm hooking up a nad 2700 to listen to this eve .the piping was in good shape .I do recall someone using split pipe insulation may give that a try shortly will be in the market for a nicer tube amp once my wallet heals up .the jolida sounds fine but I would like a bit more umph also would be nice to have a balance control to correct image seems to be more to left I ran a na d tuner for the per with the jolida to fix it last night i may have week tubes? Thought I'd try the 2700 tonight to see if the image was still off to left Stacy

Thanks Russ.ill get pic up when my brother can show me how to get them from phone to computer its not any of my business but is there a congratulations due you for the horns in Tennessee Stacy

I am thrilled to say after a3 hour tour me and Gilligan met a very nice couple who invited US into their home to,bargain for a pair of horns .I must say it was a good time the gentleman showed us to his engineered listening room witch was pretty cool .come to find out besides being a paratrooper vet he had a been a Macintosh dealer also had a contract to build the cabinets for altec. He had to systems set up one at either end of the room witch both sounded great I liked the pair of altec with the horn that was mounted in the center of the woofer .the cabinets were similar to the k horn as such they were made to be in a corner .th cabinet was altec design but never out into production before we left he showed us a record player that you crank up like starting a early model automobile the needle was on a short arm that had what looked like another needle that was in direct contact to the speaker to transfer the sound I would not say it was hi fi but audio was pretty decent to make a long story a bit longer after a little negotiation me and Gilligan left the gracious couple with my new horns well not new horns but new to me .ill post some pic soon as I get some free time the top and bottom cabinets have the same numbers except the last two are consecutive ie lf8807966 the hf8807965 the other speaker has lf 8807968 hf 8807967 I assume that means the pair is consecutive I didn't know their were serial numbers in the top when I bought them I looked at bottom number only saw their was a gap in sequence but really didn't care all that much but it would be nice if the pair are consecutive .

Thanks Chris for posting links have you used any of them if so would you recommend any one in particular . Stacy
