  1. I just reviewed previous information. From what I gather, one is an "M", and the other is not?

    I can see you performed an Impedance Check (6.1) on one of them yet, I cannot see that you ran a check on the other tweeter. Similar to the first 6.1 reading?

    Thanks again

     

  2. As everyone ALWAYS knows, just because they have "non sequential" numbers, they sound VASTLY different .... right?! Heck, 600.00 suddenly looks like a steep price to me! Goodness sakes, one cannot possibly own a pair of Klipsch speakers that do not have SEQUENTIAL NUMBERS. It just wouldn't be right!

    Also known as Bituthane (Grace brand Ice and WATER Shield). Modified bitiminus sheet (sheathing) underlayment. For roofing applications (it replaces tarpaper). Peel the release the paper off of sticky side and adhere to substrate--in this case the horn. This stuff is temperature sensitive at 70 it sticks Kinda ok at 80 sticks well at 90+ it takes the skin off of your fingertips. Stick it at 90+ and it is fully permanent. You'll want to precut to size when cool then carefully carefully align and adhere with elevated temperatures of both substrate and membrane for a permanent application. It is unremovable after about 4 SQIN adhesion at 90 degrees so proper alignment is important. Don't confuse this with "Ice and WEATHER Shield" which wont work as they are different! I could tell you various and sundry (literal) war stories we've had with this stuff😫!

    I know the stuff. I've heard it pronounced as "bitchathayne". Just a guess on the spelling. Anyway, I actually thought about this in place of the expensive stuff.

    I previously used it on mountain cabin (buried) cement foundations

    What is it that you are expecting this material to do?

    IOW, what is the problem you are trying to fix?

     

    I have several metal horns within my existing speakers. In addition, I am delving into other (non Klipsch) horns while entering into another audiophile phase of mine. 

    I begin to wonder if it wouldn't be a bad idea to simply apply deadening to all. Cannot hurt right? 

  5. I ask this because there are many other materials out there that claim to have similar if not, the very same results. For instance, there's;

    Noico Sound Deadening Mat

    Kilmat      "           "               "

    Hushmat

    Fatmat .... and the list goes on.

    My question is this ... Has anyone tried other manufacturers of "butyl" materials that are suitable for dampening horns? Heck, I once owned a BMW where I used aftermarket parts. Seemed to work just fine for me! Always love saving money especially where certain makers of parts (*Dynamat*) profits greatly from their name alone.

  6. Can deliver (within respectable distance) off the I-15 corridor between St. George, Utah 84770, and San Bernardino, California 92373

    Nothing wrong with them and in good shape. I simply switched to a different pair of subs. Not as battered and scratched as the 884's listed in here not long ago. 

    Picture provided is a copy & paste. If someone wants specific pictures of mine, feel free to let me know. Happy to accommodate.

    Unless you are fully committed to a "tube" amp, I suggest you look at some vintage SS amps also.  Personally, I tried some (OK; just 2) tube amps and they did not even come close to my Marantz 1060 and 2252B.  Just an opinion :D 

     

    OK; reread the thread and saw "tubes" are not a necessity. And, found recommendations for the "solid state" HK-930.  Very good receiver! Maybe also look into units like the Yamaha CR-1020.  Let us know what kind of horsepower you are looking for and maybe we can "refine" our recommendations. Good luck :D 

    Correct. I spent a small fortune on tubes only to realize the old Marantz's are just great and quite similar to sound quality. At least for these battered ears.

  8. Due to unfortunate matters, I am still looking for 3 of the K-402 Horn Lens' and 1- K-510 Horn Lens.

     

    In working directly with Klipsch over the phone last week, they somehow completely misunderstood and quoted me a price on the K-401 lens (instead of the 402) at a mere $50.00 

    To add to the confusion, they somehow misunderstood me TWICE and rejected my request on the K-510 horn lens thinking I requested replacement pricing on the (Belle) K-501 … DUH! All within the same phone call! What are the chances?

     

    So, if anyone out there can assist with my request I'd be grateful.

     

    Furthermore, "The Dude" is kindly assisting in my (other posting) request for some KT-1133 and K-69-A Drivers. Please let me know if anyone has additional KT-1133's. Nearly done with my pair of KPT-415 project, and now starting with my KPT-904 projects. 

     

    With appreciation to all, Tony
