It is possible  to go with smaller setup for that size room.  Now comes the tomatoes, ouch!

What!?  I could always have a sound bar  

 

Im am not sure what drivers are in the 535's, have there been many changes to the drivers? I'm suddenly worried that I will get old drivers that I will feel the need to change $$$$  . Is there a list of the drivers that have been used during the years of production? 

The add for the speakers listed the 2017 mod, but I'm not sure they are...

Sounds like good idea to test out the different setups Zim.

Have u tested your setup with active crossovers? What kinda amps are u running on the 535-M?.

Im thinking of DIY something like the Jubilee bass bins for 2 of them to set up in the living room. But the Jubilee doesn't use the same drivers do they? 

For the Ht room idk what to do yet.. If I lay them on the side it will take allot of space that I propably need for subs. 

What subs are u running in your Ht Zim?

Thanks for the input.

I ended up with a deal to buy allot more than planned  

It will probably be a month or so before I can pick them up  

I will be picking up 5x KPT 535-T, 2x crossovers (N2), 2x Peavey vsx 26 and 4x JBL 212-9  

We will do a active vs passive setup when picking them up  can't wait!

Any advice on amps?

I haven't bought the speakers yet, but it's the same as dtel posted KPT 535 T, I have 3 of them on hand.

And yes I'm not in the U.S.

i have never heard these speakers, I have heard a few Ht setups with Klipsch RF series, most of them sounded a bit sharp in the top.... that may be from bad setups tho im not sure. I've also heard a 2ch setup with RF7 mk1 and those where really nice.

 

Kpt 535 t Doesn't have passive crossovers so I was thinking that I might eq them to taste with mini dsp if they are a bit sharp in the top.?

Have any 1 made a passive crossover for this kinda setup? That would be interesting to see.

 

I have never owned horns before, but most good setups ive heard (2channel) have been horns. So I gues I have to get some

Im planning to use them for HT and stereo.

Any reason to go for a 2 way instead of the original setup dtel? I have seen ppl using the 402 horn in 2way.. I don't know mutch about horns, but wouldn't u need a tweeter on top of a 402 to get into 18khz?

 

Another thing I'm wondering about is the bass drivers, I have 6 jbl 2226 and I love how they sound in the 60- 300hz range.

Can they compare in any way? I tried to google the drivers but can't find mutch about them.

 

Room dimensions in feet are approx 20 feet long 16 wide 7+ feet ceiling.  If my math isn't way off that's almost correct

 

Would I be better of going for other drivers and horns?

 

Sry about my English, didn't pay mutch attention in school :/

Hi Klipsch fans hoping to get some help here.

 

Could the kpt 535 be used in a small room? 

The room is 6m long 4,5m wide and approx 2,2 ceiling height.

Im thinking that it should be ok with 3-4m from speakers to listening position, am I wrong?

I have no idea what these speakers are worth or even what they cost new, is it possible to find a price list somewhere? Or maybe value of the drivers and horns if sold separate. I think I can get all 3 for 3500$. 

It would be allot cheaper to set up a jbl system.. but to many ppl got jbl.

I guess the only way is to go and have a listen to them, it's a 7 hour drive one way.. I would like to be leaving with the speakers

I'm pretty sure that these are hard to sell if I don't like them, so any input would be appreciated.
