I use a Sherwood S-6040CP (dual mono 100 WPC) and it does just fine. I even have 5 db of PEQ at 36hz boosting the bass.

I'm probably going to still go for it, DIY plans for the bass bin are available and the K-402, drivers and crossover schematics are all still out there and available.
Looks like a tough build though, I've never built anything more than boxes.

Never hurts to ask I suppose... its still on the website.
I asked, it was confirmed that they're gone and I was told Klipsch is in the process of removing it from the website.

I dont wanna bust your dreams , I was looking to purchase such a pair in Jan 2021 , the answer is here below .

Says who?
Well, that unfortunate then.

-
As long as the 3-way version stays available, I'm fine. I could easily find a use for those extra K-510 horns with K-69 drivers.
-
I would swap out the mylar caps in the crossover for film caps in addition to replacing the tweeter diaphragms. After that you should be good to go.

where did you get that price?
just curious.
I don't know if the quote is up to date, It was $10,295 for two of the KPT-JUBILEE/535-B two half years ago from American Cinema.
This was when I bought my pair of KPT-904-Ms.
-
Ok good.
I finally have a space big enough and I was saving up the $10k I'll need but there's no chance I could ever save $35k, that's just out of reach.
-
So we can't buy the cinema Jubilee at all anymore?

I get it. Rather, what do you think about using the A55-G driver with Crites C600 midrange horn always mounted on a Chrous 2?
Thanks
For what purpose? The K-61 midrange horn on the Chorus II is already a step or two above the K600 horn in performance.

I don't know about the Ciair woofers but there has been a lot of discussion about the KLF 30 cabinets being under sized for the stock woofers as Klipsch was trying to keep the size of the 30's reasonable. You may want to look at bigger cabinets than the stock ones depending on the Ciair specs. Just a thought. Good luck with the build!
It would be cool to build a pair that adds enough height to be front ported, it would make these speakers a lot easier to place. My KLF20s and KLF30s always wanted to be closer to the wall than their rear ports would allow.
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished results and possibly the measurements from the OP. I've always liked the looks of the KLF towers and I think developing an upgraded version is a worthwhile project.

Great idea ------
Actually you could mount the K510 way over to the right , and mount the tweeter to the left , the tweeter lense would have to be placed upright - it's gonna be tight but it will fit -
Basically a KI-396.

Any reason you got rid of them? Andif you don't mind I'm just curious what you replaced them with. Looking to upgrade my KG4s. 30 wpc EL34 Tube Amp. About 8 foot listening distance max. Thanks
I got rid of them because I heard a pair of KI-396 and was really impressed, even though they lacked a little on the low end compared to the Cornscalas. I eventually replaced the KI-396s with KPT-904s.

You're making too big of deal out of this, I no longer have my Cornscalas, but resonance issues were easily fixed with 4 lengths of 1 3/8" dowel rod to better couple the front and rear panel together. I used glue and clamps to attach them to the front panel and flush mounted bolts to attach to the rear.
-
Cabinet resonance issues aside (which can be fixed pretty easily), the two-way speaker will work a lot better in a smaller listening space. If you have 10'-12' or more between you and your speakers either should perform well for you.
-
Pictures seem to no longer be showing up.
-
They would work excellent as mains. These will play much lower than a La Scala and the K-510 horn is much more capable than the K-400.

This one deserves more attention as it's basically a KPT-435-M but all in one box. And since it's a cinema surround it shouldn't have a behind the screen voicing. It should be ready to go for 2-channel use. This should definitely kick the pants off my KI-396-SMA-IIs, which I love.

Pics will help. What kind of finish do they have? Black, medium oak, mahogany?
A stock pair in perfect cosmetic condition will go for anywhere between $600-$800. Mahogany will probably be most sought after.....then medium oak and black will be at the lower end of what someone might be willing to pay.
They also came in light oak, which will probably bring the lowest price.

I personally have a 38 x 26 room accommodating 2 Khorns and 2 Lascala's. I'll most certainly going to be using greater lengths of speaker wire, especially for the rear Lascala's.
Then buy the buy the length you need in the gauge you need (probably 12ga), but pure copper wire has a shelf life of about 10 years or so and tin plated copper will last many, many decades.

This speaker wire features two conductors made of high purity (greater than 99.95% pure), oxygen-free bare copper. Pure Bare Copper is a superior conductor to the copper clad aluminum (CCA) conductors used in most other inexpensive speaker wire. CCA is only about 68% as conductive as pure bare copper. This additional resistance is added to the impedance of your speakers and can negatively effect the sound.
For the wire to have no audible effect, the total wire resistance should be no more than 5% of the lowest impedance of your speakers. Even speakers rated for a nominal 8-ohms, may dip to as low as 4-ohms at some frequencies, which further reduces the total cable resistance allowed in the wire. Using Pure Bare Copper speaker wire ensures that the total load put on the amplifier remains as close as possible to the impedance curve of your speakers.
For example, a 16AWG 2-conductor Pure Bare Copper speaker wire has a total resistance of 0.803 ohms per 100 feet (both directions must be considered). By comparison, a 16AWG 2-conductor CCA speaker wire has a total resistance of 1.181 ohms per 100 feet. Assuming 4 ohms is the lowest impedance of your speakers, a speaker wire run can be no more 0.2-ohms total. 20 feet of 16AWG Pure Bare Copper would be 0.1606 ohms, well under the 0.2-ohm limit. On the other hand, 20 feet of 16AWG CCA would be 0.2362 ohms, well OVER the 0.2-ohm limit.
Why would someone use 20 ft of speaker wire? It's going to be more like 6 or 7 ft for most people and far less if you're using mono blocks. And using 14ga wire would solve all of it. This is so bogus.

I'm also a fan of tin plated copper speaker cable, I normally get it at the boating supply store.

Thanks for that, I went ahead and ordered the parts express one after watching the video. I can definately handle that, so I should have parameters posted up in about a ten days or so.

KI-396 OWNERS THREAD

Honestly, I've thought about doing the same so I wouldn't need the 5 db of PEQ and hopefully end up with something more attractive.
