So “flat” phase at the expensive of distortion and coverage? Ok. Low order filters cause so much lobing and nulling that the ear tends to “average” it. Kinda of like line arrays.

Why?

What you are missing is the fact that Mr K moved on to steeper slopes (whatever was required) because of the coverage interfere band and the distortion the drivers would create because they did not have the proper filtering. Just because they do not create acoustic pressure does not mean that the diap is not moving.

Overblown? How? Pun intended.

Curious as to how you know this...

You are correct. Keep it on track and cut the crap out or risk having your posts moderated.

It’s a vented design. You can either use a port or a passive radiator (drone).

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are concerned about the problems with customer service. Here is the response I got from the head guy..... “we’re dealing with unprecedented traffic and are drastically increasing the size of the team to get back to world class service asap.“ We have more than doubled the customer service reps as of last week. We appreciate your patience. Thanks.

Or or or....you could get original Klipsch TI diaps from Klipsch.....

Henry. I did not mean to come off as obtuse as I did. Sorry for that. What is was curious about was how you were so sure about various statements on how Mr K designed networks. And why he did them the way he did.

And you know this this about Mr k how? I talked a lot to Paul and your generalizations are way off

It’s a little more complicated than that

I saw the video. There a couple of misconceptions in his rant. First of all, it was the audio engineering society that change the spec and it was for some very valid reasons. First. Amps are constant voltage devices. Second drivers for most all cases do not have a constant impedance. In the real world when you switch speakers ons switcher, the speaker with the highest sensitivity spec will always sound louder. I was glad with the AES made this change. It is a real world spec for the real world. he does have some good points. Amplifiers have to be robust and be able to handle freq dependent impedances from as high as 50 ohms down to 4 ohms. sensitivity does not equal efficiency.

Would you pay 8k a pair?

@jjptkd How much do you think that would cost retail?

I appreciate an informed insight. You make a lot of good points. I myself don’t understand the cap thing because most times a cap is part of a network that is designed to yield a voltage transfer curve. Using a cap with different specs can yield a different voltage curve.

Curious. Improvement how?

Are the gains for the left channel set correctly?

Thanks for being attentive. Yes. Everything you said is true. There will be a Klipsch listening session on the jub. Don’t know the date yet. But I hope to finally dispel the false assumptions and verify the truth about what Mr K and I talked about. Whether people like it or not, I have a very good understanding of what Mr K was looking forward to doing. He just ran out of time......

I also wish that......

Let me ask you some questions. Do you think that Mr K had nothing to do with tractrix? With steep slope networks? With wide dispersion phase plugs? With the horn loaded vented system?

Horizontal.

Eldon, Kevin and I our two ki362’s, same size cab and about the same weight, in Kevin’s living. It works just fine.

How did you test this? asks mr Touchy............
