Never thought of that option. I’ll have to see if any of them have the All Channel Stereo option. If they do then that would be my best bet.

Interesting Emile. How do you connect 2 receivers together to play the same music source?

Btw, a lot of the music I’d be playing would be through apps through Alexa or Chromecast.

Hey, I’ve got 4 Klipsch speakers I’ll be running outdoors. One pair will be in the elements (ca-800t’s outdoor speakers) and the other pair will be protected from the elements with the exception of heat, humidity, and the cold (KI-172’s). I’ve got 3 receivers that I’ve kept over the years that aren’t being used but they’re surround sound receivers, for instance I’ve got an Integra DTR 7.2, Denon 3311ci, Harman Kardon HK3480, and an old 1996 Denon receiver that I can’t remember the model but I’m thinking a surround sound receiver may not be the best way to go. Anyway, what’s the best way to run 4 speakers at once playing the same music and not burn out the electronics or speakers? 4 channel amp with a pre? 4 ch integrated? Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks for your help. I’ll be starting to get it wired in the next week or 2 so I want everything ready to go.

These are more common than you think. I see TAD’s come up a few times a year at least. For example: TAD 4002 Top Incl Adapter. the best tweeter ever build https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F332709635607

I thought about the cutout being used but it would’ve been in the way. The upper deck that’s going to be built on top of the container will be for people who don’t want to get splashed and just want to be in the sun and enjoy the day. The lower deck is for those who want to jump in the pond and swim. The upper deck will cantilever over the lower deck and allow shade for those that want to get out of the sun. The container will be for those that need alcohol refills, I.e. it’ll have a bar inside, storage, a couple hammocks, and KP-172’s mounted inside and ca-800’s mounted outside so everyone can hear the music. I’m excited to get this project done so I can relax for a bit before the next project.

Here’s the current progress. Bringing the deck all the way in the container so it’s seamless and going to be framing the inside for walls and painting the outside. Next up is the deck up top. It’s gonna be an awesome place to hang out once it’s done.

No you’re right, as far as I know, I don’t think the 402’s have mumps, not even the current version but what I meant was I was looking at the set of both but decided against it. And I believe they were an both older version of each horn but the price was close to msrp so it was a no go for me.

I asked because I have no idea what a super MWM is, and I was curious. My plans were MWM/402 2 way system unless I decided 3 way or 4 way would be necessary, I doubt 3 or 4 way system would be necessary, but cool factor sometimes gets me interested in things I don’t need.

I was close to buying a pair but when I found out what the brand new pricing was, I decided to wait since he was asking damn near what it costs for a new pair, and they’re the older versions with no mumps. Also...what are your plans for this “super MWM”?

Anyone have a spec sheet for the 305’s? I can’t find it anywhere. Curious why these aren’t used more with 510’s on top as a 3 way with MWM’s instead of using the MWM’s, 305’s, 402’s, AND 510’s in the 4-way design? Does their frequency response roll off before the midrange frequencies?

Thanks for responding. That makes me feel better about putting my receiver inside the shipping container turned into a cabana. It’ll be hot and humid inside here in the summers even with the fans on.

If anyone lives in say the Midwest or down south where and runs an outside setup where it’s humid, does or has the weather affected your receiver or integrated, or even separates for that matter? Mine will be in its own cabinet covered from the rain but I’m wondering about humidity during the summer. Any issues?

😂🤣I can’t stop won’t stop until my vision is a reality. I expect to be front row in my living room to every concert I’ve ever missed. Unfortunately some of my favorite artists keep OD’ing off fentanyl and/or committing suicide so my house is the closest I’ll get to a live performance for some of my favorites.

Yeah I mean I ended up with different gear every several years to get the newest surround sound format. I wouldn’t buy just to buy and test unless you’ve got money to spend. Ultimately I’d love to try some VRD’s or similar tube setup on my MWM’s and 402 or 402/510 setup. That would be my ultimate setup as long as the sound suited my taste. I imagine I’ll end up with the speakers I want and amp roll until I find what works best. I’ll have the MWM/402’s setup for 2 channel music and the KP-456’s and KPT-200’s and KI-102’s for surround sound. And then the CF-4’s for 2 ch music also. My goal has always been to have my setup to transport me to the front row in any concert I’d ever want to be at. The 1st time I heard a pair of Klipsch speakers was at my buddies brothers house when I was 8 and he was playing my favorite band Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall on K-horns and the rest was history. Obsession set in from that point on.

Yeah the Dtels living room pic got me started down this rabbit hole. I can’t wait to get this all setup. These horns are WAYYYY bigger than the CF-4’s horns so I can only imagine how good they’ll sound once I get everything dialed in. I heard @Coytee‘s Jubilee setup and those sounded fantastic, but he’s got the Tad drivers which probably make a big difference but regardless, I’ll be there soon, Tad drivers and all...in time. I did grab 6 kpt-200’s and 4 KI-102’s for surround sound and I got some KP-456’s I still haven’t hooked up too. I’m balls deep in the Pro stuff. I can’t stop buying this stuff. It’s bad.

2nd attempt in the past couple weeks at purchasing a pair. 1st guy wanted damn near full msrp so I decided for that I may as well buy new if I wanted them THAT bad and now a scam artist attempts to take me for a ride. I really want a pair for the MWM’s. In time they will be mine. I just gotta be patient.

The only insight I can give is my personal experience over the last 20 years with my CF-4’s. I’ve paired them with several receivers, 2 different Denon’s, 2 different Integra’s, a Pioneer, and I’m forgetting one. Right now it’s being pushed by a Bryston 8B-ST bridged for 400 Watts at 8 ohms. They’ve always sounded good with the other receivers but now that I’m running the Integra DTR-60.6 as a pre-pro with the Bryston I’ve never heard them sound so good. Depth and soundstage are incredible. Theres just more depth now and with a good recording the singer is front and center and sounds like they’re in the room with me, but slightly elevated like they’re on a stage higher than my seat. This is exactly what I’ve aleays wanted them to sound like. I knew they could sound this good but definitely the right gear makes them sing over other stuff. I’d love to hear them on tube gear to find out how they sound. The closest I am to that is the Budgie tube preamp I’m using for my turntable which I love. So my opinion after having mine for so long and trial and error with different gear is that it’s truly trial and error. Try it and see how they sound. If they don’t match well, sell and try another. Each type of gear will bring about different pros and cons to the sound. I’d bet though that tube gear will sound great with any epic.

Seller changed his mind and said PayPal is good to go BUT, wants me to use family and friends and NOT goods and services. Keeping it nice and sketchy. I offered to use goods and services to protect me and then the seller decided no deal and is going to hold onto them. I told him nice try. He sounded so legit at first. Scam artists are among us even on this forum.

Nope. But sure sounds like a scam to me.

Trying to save money. I don’t buy anything new unless I absolutely have to. I received a message from a new forum member with no posts to contact a Jean in MA who’s selling 402’s. So I contacted Jean and Jean has a pair for sale but wants me to Western Union the money and refuses to use PayPal “because he got hacked in the past”. How many fellow forum members think this sounds scammy?

You had me at “super MWM + K-402. I don’t know what makes it anymore super than a MWM/402 combo already would be but tell me more sire.

If at any point someone’s looking to get rid of their 402’s or knows someone selling theirs, with or without drivers, please let me know. I’ll be interested until the point in time I comment here that I’ve found some. If they include the 510’s also then I’d be interested in those if they’re being sold as a combo. Thanks.

Ok so it sounds to me like currently $1200-$1500 is what is considered a decent price point on the used market and under $1k is a great deal. Got it. Thanks for the opinions on this.

I really wish I would’ve jumped on those when he had em. I second guessed myself. I hate when I do that 🤷🏽‍♂️
