  1. Horrible! OK; just kidding ... they look AWESOME! Kudo's
  2. copied from a 2009 post by @bhendrix ... Quote The KP-301 is actually a Chorus I in a pro cab. K48 Woofer, K57 squawker, and K-79 tweetie. Spec sheet is attached. 301's are great speakers, just like the Chorus. KP-301complete.pdf Unquote Never heard them, but love "Pro" speakers. Pretty rare with the oak (?) cabinets ... awesome ... usually they are covered with "rat fur." If I were "local" I'd offer at least $800 Know @rockhound has a pair ... maybe he can chime in Cheers, Emile
  3. OK; looks like I may have a pair in a little over a week. Want to try them just "by themselves." So to avoid blowing up the diaphragms I need a high pass crossover. Any suggestions on xover frequency and db slope? All I could find was a cheap 800Hz/12dB one at Parts-Express ... https://www.parts-express.com/parts-express-800-hz-high-pass-8-ohm-crossover--266-470 Many thanks, Emile add-on ... Or ... could use my minidsp and buy another cheap amp ... recommended xover and slope?
  4. Very interesting A (very good) DIYourselver can probably build one for less than $500. (No; think it's beyond my skills Just build kevlar panel speakers.) Motor, woofer and a model scale helicopter rotary assembly See (pretty boring) video which explains a lot ...
  5. Haha ... IF you are married it will be obvious ... ask your wife "black" or "oak" boxes
  6. Thanks! Would have been OK if you had told me ... Yes, you are an idiot
  7. Thank you SIR Seller I got my KPT-904's from has some more Pro stuff coming in, including K-510's. Made him an offer ... might take a week or so. Will keep everyone posted
  8. No problem ... we all need a "break."
  9. Just had a brilliant idea Haha @Dave A was looking for bass bins and I wanted the 510 horns. Maybe we can beat up the seller together PM send to Dave A. Or ... if anyone else is "just" looking for the KP-450 bins Cheers, Emile
  10. Interesting Have been looking for a set of 510 horns, but of course not much luck so far Anyone has a guess for the frequency range? Want to build a 2-way with horns Cheers, Emile
  11. If anyone has any thoughts Maybe I'll try a Selenium D3300Ti-DPD 2" Titanium Horn Driver (on sale $149 at Parts-Express) with a cheap horn from P-E also Let me know if I'm an idiot https://www.parts-express.com/selenium-d3300ti-dpd-2-titanium-horn-driver-4-bolt--299-2319 https://www.parts-express.com/sh450-2-horn-9-3-4-x-17-3-4-4-bolt--299-2305 Cheers, Emile
  12. JEEZ ... and of course it "did not happen." Hate these UNRELIABLE CraigsList sellers OK; will try a couple more times before I give up Cheers, Emile
  13. Haha ... NO ... of course. Had no clue these things were impossible to find. Tried @MetropolisLakeOutfitters, but no response. OK; offering the FleaBay guy $750
  14. Haha ... No or Maybe or Yes Had KG4's (in a small stereo room) and always liked them. Upgraded to Forte I's (cost me about $400) and really was not sure if it was any better Think it really depends on the room you will be using them in.
  15. Haha ... yes; I'm one of those Have a set of KPT-904's and LOVE the 510 horns So; looking for another set of 510's ... or even 402's. Found KPT-904's on FleaBay for $1300 (see my listing under Garage sale/Alerts), but my wife will KILL me if I get another "full" pair Offered him $500 for the horns ... NO ... OK; will offer $750 Asked "metropolis" pro dealer for a price, but no response. FYI; got my KPT's from a local (Orlando, FL) seller ... he "thinks" he might be getting more Pro Cinema stuff in a couple of weeks Can't wait ... will keep you all posted. Cheers, Emile
  16. Haha ... no clue about 506 horns either ... but found out they are 2" exit drivers, so must be good Pick them up ... open a bottle of wine and let them rip
  17. Sorry; no clue what 406's are I've got the KPT-904's ... think the bass box is a KP-450 (not sure) and the horns are the 510's. Sound is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Bass is IMHO as good as LaScala's ... horns are much MUCH BETTER (think it is because of the 2 inch exit on a much bigger diaphragm). Using a pre-out from my AVR into a Marantz 222B for 2 channel sound. These horns are just awesome ... the 402 horns "might" be better, but they are too big and do not pass the wife test Cheers, Emile
  18. WHAT????? You are getting a pair?????
  19. Offered the KPT-904 seller on eBay $500 "just" for the horns He just declined my offer ... did not want to "break-down" the full speakers Still looking ...

    New Owner!

    Haha ... welcome ... now, it's (almost) time for upgrades
  21. @Coytee ... "personal" question ... think I'm crazy trying to reduce the size of the KPT-904 bins (KT-450???) by putting them in a sealed cabinet? Many thanks, Emile
