    Know the feeling I do that at least 5 times a day when texting/messaging. Hmm.. Then I'll probably stick with mounting them vertically. Not really a problem. Interesting proposition (good plan for when I ever decide to make my custom HF200/K510 heights Can you maybe suggest some good US second hand search engines? Something like hifishark. Aight, thanks! Such a shame I didn't get my hands on that triple K-402 horn sale from few weeks back.. Almost had it arranged! Good to know about the material haha! Wouldnt have thought about that. Will probably make my own box. Probably a nice veneered one too (considering the K-402 is already so expensive). Well, chances are I'll buy my xilica before the end of february, so I'll have the same gear as you. Dont really have the time, but have did some testing with the UMIK, REW PEQ (your guide) and my sub. Interesting stuff! Good results too. Not sure what you mean by that.. Are you building your own MEH design horn? As in a building plan to make a complete horn? Or? Sounds awesome none the less ! Would be very interested!! (how about a 11x exact MEH setup hehe).

    Hey, recently discovered that shipping by sea is actually not that expensive! Might still be worth it What is the weight / size of these puppy's?
  3. Droogne
    Haha if they're still available, would you maybe ship them? (Id pay ofcourse)

    @Chris A Have not yet mounted my heresys so if you still might have a tip on the vertical or horizontal placement I'd be glad to hear it. Dont have any time at the moment to delve deeper into to all the subjects were conversing about, but I'll get to back to all that when my exams are behind me. Just some things I'm still looking for/thinking about at the moment. Not sure if I want to buy the K-402 new (can use the money for other projects), so I'm gonna wait a few months to see if I cant find a second hand pair/single one. If not I'll still buy them brand new. If you do know someone willing to sell them, hit me up! Need/want to know somethinh though, still not sure if I'm able to do the MEH horn adjustments, but I'd be good to know if I can, so when I come across a single horn I'm able to buy it directly without hesitating. Soooo, how hard would you think it is to pull of via internet instructions? I got some very capable people who can help me with that (who have the correct gear too). That is of course, if you'd be willing to share your exact design with me. Would be very grateful! It would not only be an awesome speaker and project, but also a very good way to a decent height center channel.

    Well problem is that, although even with shipping the price still is within reasonable range (and it's not likely that I can find something like this in Europe), it's not such a steal anymore when considering shipping.. I'd be interested, and jump on it, if it were local and I had to pay 900 for everything (thats 150 cheaper than what I sold my fortes for :p). But I have no real urgent need for it (can use everything though, for various projects), so I dont think it's such a wise decision :s

    A pair of such heavy bass bins for 300-400? To Europe? EDIT: it seems you are correct! Might think about it!
  7. Droogne
    Oho, I would buy everything without thinking about it. Would cost me 10 000 for shipping though lol. The struggle

    h As you can see, even the big towers with build in atmos module ( (RP-280FA) require you to wire the atmos module separately.
  9. Droogne
    You need to wire them to your height terminals and tell your receiver that they are dolby modules (amp asign).

    Thanks! Will have to read though it a few times again, but I think I'm getting it Will try it out later this evening. The optimisation of my sub is another thing I'm tring to figure out thats for later.

    @Chris A Although I should be studying, I'll be trying out what I proposed here, tomorrow, while waiting for my LaScala bins to come. Got the UMIK today, and did a sweep and tried out what you mentioned in your PEQ guide. Good stuff! (as always). Not sure on all the parameters though. I get the cutoff, but what about the "LF cutoff", "LF rise Start & End" and the "LF Rise Slope", for the moment, I just copied you but I'm not sure what they exactly, or to be more exact, how to use those to get what I want. I played with them, and I see a difference in the target, but still not sure on what to put it.
  12. Droogne
    Semi unrelated question. Would you recommend horizontal vertical placement of the heresys/K510 heresys. Or doesnt it really matter as they are just heights? PS: I might have a line on 2 or 3 K-402s (2 without drivers)(see the garage sale section) so I might have to think about that synergy horn sooner than I thought! How hard would it be to copy your design? (how much skill does it require etc).
  13. Droogne
    Anyone interested in buying the pair of jub bins? I'm interested in (all) the K-402 horns, but not in the bins. So would anyone be interested in splitting the jubilees?
  14. Droogne
    Would you ship to Belgium? Very interested! Also in your pair of K-402, but I'm guessing youre not selling those horns seperate from the bins?
  15. Droogne
    Yeah I have been going through the height channel problem for a while, and decided that best option would be using regular height channels, as its still better then non-wall mounted "Atmos enabled modules". It's not officially recommended, but a lot of users agree that atmos works very good with regular channels (this way my surround is also compatible with a lot of other formats). I'm mounting the heresys with PA wall mounts (and a 35mm adapter screwed onto the Heresy) as they are good to 40kg, I'll send a pic next week when I have them up and running). Custom height channels are a future project, the k510 just looked interesting! Looks like a good match for the k402 as they are used together in the 3-way.
  16. Droogne
    PS just saw a thread about the K510, which has supposedly good polar control. It's no K402, but might work as a 2-way height channel horn (in a heresy cabin) with same driver as the K402. PS havent heard back from my k402 dealer (about the driver chouce), but I'm no hurry so I'll give him some extra days before I ask again.
  17. Droogne
    Well, I already have 4x K55M, and if I buy the K402 I just need an adapter (which I have found for around 20euros) so not so expensive to just try it out !
  18. Droogne
    Yeah it's a more expensive route, but it'll be worth it! Maybe I'll do a 4xK55 into the K-402 setup (will definitely try this out once I have all the stuff). Hope I can pull it all of before the festival (still enough time, and if not this years, definitely next one!) PS friend of me was very excited about this project, so we might start our own mini festival just to showcase the power of the tower!
  19. Droogne
    OK, little development! Have finally made contact with a dealer for a K-402 horn! Still having my 6x LaScala bins made so I might just do a triple LaScala tower with a Jub horn on top (+ some extra LaScala horn/drivers and tweeters to top it off).
  20. Droogne
    I'll let you know if my dealer can get his hand on some other driver or buy the horn without the drivers. PS never checked it, but is there noone selling his K-402 in the US? I can get almost anything over here (Klipsch speakers etc), but the K-402 will have to be shipped in all cases (even with my dealer it has to be ordered from the US, which costs extra) so in this one case a second hand K-402 from the US would still be the best option.

    Oh sorry, thought you were talking about the 1132, which is used in a 2-way. The 1133 is used in a 3-way, but I was hoping it might be used in a 2-way too. Maybe I didnt understand what you meant with: "1132 with the custom phase plug design by Roy over the K-1133 midrange driver configuration". EDIT: I found what you meant. "I cross them at 4 Khz, which is where the K-1133 driver starts to roll off" . The phase plug you mentioned is what gives the 1132 his higher extension (and sacrifices some of his low end). 1133 is more than 100eu cheaper, which is why I was asking. Will have to go with the 1132 then! Or I could go 3-way (as the 1133 would give a better midrange, no?)
  22. Droogne
    PS would you happen to know if the 1133 is useable in a 2-way (not at extreme dB)?
  23. Droogne
    I have went from a simple RP450C with 2 Q Acoustics 3020 (small bookshelves), a few pair of extremely cheap bookshelves (3euro/speaker) and a low budget 50" HD tv to a 65" 4K OLED with a full blown 11.1 Atmos surround (+ buttkickers) consisting of large Klipsch Speakers. To be clear, that was the evolution over less than a year (didnt have anything except a small bluetooth speaker 2 years ago). First my home theatre (also planning a quadruple 15" VNF subwoofer config) with the K-402s. Then a nice pair of bookshelves (something none Klipsch for a change) and then I'll see hehe. I'm studying medicine so I still got 2 years before I start earning anything, and another 4-5 years before I have a real job :s after that I can start to look for a house to make a more permanent home theatre/listening room. And about the Faital, I'm definitely gonna buy those instead of the K69 if I have the chance, I just have the option to go cheap I'm looking at my options at the moment, I can buy the K-402 without thinking, but I had a budget in mind (as to prevent me from overspending on audio, and losing all my savings ha).
  24. Droogne
    Whoa, I can buy that BM-D750 for less then half of the HF200! Would be great if I could buy the K-402 without horn (not expecting to, but oh well a man can hope ) PS, I'm only 22 so if I get my Jubs, I'm probably in for a hell of a long ride with them
  25. Droogne
    I'm planning on using HF200 all over my setup, so buying them first to save money is not a useless cost (as I can move them to the rear LaScalas) when I decide to move up to the more expensive 20AT or something even more high end (BePB945, TAD or JBL 2445 with Be-true extension diaphragms). K69 might not be a bad place to start, I'm hoping it can significantly reduce the cost. PS included the specs of the K1332 which I got from the dealer.
