There's no replacement driver that's anything like it. I have 2 KP-480s here which I am trying to figure out a suitable replacement driver for. The KD-17 recone kit needs a 4.2 ounce weight glued onto it. Washers work well.

I agree. The B&C HF driver really does the work.

As the old saying goes: make your own, and stop complaining about what other people want to do with the products they make and sell.

I happen to have a pair here... email me - vi.vi@me.com

I swear they were 8 ohm boxes last time I looked.

Or... get this... you could get a miniDSP, a couple of cheap pro amps and tune it to your own taste... Roy and co won't waste their company time on the pursuit of adapting a commercial speaker with high SPL components for home users. Wait. Hold on...

License got handed back to Pioneer. All to do with machinations up in Hauppauge NY, where the owner of Klipsch, Voxx, is. It was probably redundant, anyway. Why sell Pioneer and Elite when you also have Onkyo and Integra?

DM-ed!

Look, as an example, he's built sound systems that have been displayed in MoMA as an art exhibition. Last night he did a collaboration with Mercedes Benz and Moncler. I believe this weekend also saw his collaboration with NNNN being showcased at ADE. Two days, mate, and he's got countless things happening worldwide. Cool things. Things of artistic and engineering worth. It's impressive. He builds his own tube amps, just like you, John. Only difference is that his ones are in Louis Vuitton stores. Park the vitriol.

I do believe a bunch of large cinema chains in the USA went under, and Hope got left holding the bag. Now it's all to order.

It's hard to get a pair out of them. And the ones you do get will be 3db too hot on top, as they're cinema/SMPTE thingy. I have multiple pairs of KPT904. I use the PRV 2DF800 -> https://prvaudio.com/products/2df800/ - it is cheap, remarkably well made for the price, and sounds great with the boxes. Do yaself a favour, as they say down here.

I would dare say that questions such as the "target market" are decided by Vinny Bonacorsi, and passed down from Indy to Hope. Vinny, from my limited dealings, is a very sharp dude. It's pretty apparent that said market is people who are into the intersection of design and audio. USM, etc. Perhaps they find Heritage too old school, or too MCM, or whatever. And as to the incense... my understanding is that Devon uses OJAS as a multidisciplinary channel for things he finds interesting. I don't get people throwing shade at him for being an artist. It's a big, exciting world, where you don't just have to be a speaker guy (or gal, or they). He founded a very (underground) famous fashion label about 20 years ago called No De Guerre, which is tremendously influential now. In short, he's done more with his life than most of the hecklers on here. And it's mad that he's collaborating with a company and a philosophy that we are all so madly passionate about.

swimmingly. house less full of speakers. pallet of new (old) speakers en route to fix that problem. multiple la scala, forte, kp201 all wrapped up and floating on a boat from LA to SYD right now. but yet I still want a pair of these k0-r1s

Definitely don't need this level of malice

daaaamn murgs - that is a roooom.
