  1. Maybe eventually. I still have a lot of work to do to some speakers I’m building before cracking open a brand new amp. I heard the “Skunky mods” are winners?
  2. I’ve been on the Decware list for a year, and still am. I wanted to find a versatile, affordable, point to point tube amp, with a big enough difference in sound signature that I would get use out of both once the decware comes. A brand new, sealed in box Willsenton R8 came up on Facebook an exit up the road for $500 off so I brought it home. Merry Christmas to me. It’s wonderful.
  3. Agreed, if you don’t want the work and aren’t married to the elliptical look, the WG45-50 is a great horn.
  4. I almost bought em for the drivers alone. Just the wrong time of the year. Enjoy! did you buy all three?
  5. That image has been used in scam after scam for at least a year now, popping up all over.
  6. Facebook Marketplace Ad Im not affiliated. In fact, I think these are 4’s but could be 3’s. Either way, great deal.
  7. Pm me. I’m in south Nashville and would like to hear what you’re thinking.
  8. Those are k-45’s. Different impedance. I got tired of looking/waiting for 904’s a long time ago which is how this all came about.
  9. But my itch to experiment wasn’t satisfied. So when a marketplace ad for Peavey FH-1’s with their woofers installed came up 30 minutes from me, I messaged the seller 15 minutes after he posted them and had them in my Jeep within the hour! All for the total cost of $140! Suddenly, I had an inexpensive (if not free once I sell the black widow woofers) opportunity to test my folded horn theory. using some insulation strips on the lip, some polyfil, new wiring, and some nice rubber feet, I had my first ever completely horn-loaded speaker. After some simple time aligning the HF section and getting rid of the “foot” angling the speakers up to bring the HF section lower (not shown) - these things sound INCREDIBLE. So now, I think I have my bones and guts worked out. Now it’s just a matter of putting it all together in a better looking shell.
  10. I have the kp-48’s… and after stumbling on a thread here where discussion led to installing k-48’s in folded horns I starting doing some research on building a Lascala bin vs the conventional kpt-335 bin. I spoke with my woodworking friend about this option, detailed the budget, but also spent several weeks eyeing Facebook marketplace. in the meantime, I “sacrificed” my kp-301’s to use them as prototype bass bins. This gave me what I could expect from the final product if I go the conventional route and it sounded wonderful.
  11. Thanks 001, but as it was said, these were components purchased in pieces. Nothing to restore here. Just parts for which to design a cabinet. The first step was to build a prototype of the HF section I could test and tune with. A couple of hours and some plywood and we got there. once that was done, I could wire them up to whatever woofer cabinet I want to test different LF section ideas. first test was with my KLF 30’s. (Mainly just to hear them in the room they will most likely end up occupying)

  13. Haha I’ve had that happen before - Even with a legit sale. They’ll price it, go to sleep, wake up the next morning, realize the value, ghost or reject everyone, bump the price and try again.
  14. I’d be cautious around this one. I messaged him this morning that they were hundreds underpriced and he only raised the price by $50 in response. Just weird. And idk why but the pictures look familiar. I could be wrong, and if you live out there and these work, I hope I am wrong and you have a wonderful weekend after picking these up!: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/567834225330075/?mibextid=6ojiHh $200… update now $400

  16. Hello all, if this doesn’t belong here, feel free to boot it. I am fairly new to the forum and Klipsch loudspeakers, but after finding some KG4’s at a consignment store with my daughter and a FB marketplace buy of Fortes turning into a haul that included a set of KLFs in addition, and finally acquiring some KP-301’s. My wife and I love the Klipsch sound and are having fun going bigger and bigger. We recently heard the Cornwall IVs and thought this was the next move. After reevaluating our long term goals and my imagination for building and tinkering, we decided to look into my building speakers. Que a member of the forum posting the components to a KPT-335, which I purchased. (Btw it was all received in the best packaging job I’ve ever seen in all my years with automotive and now electronics used markets) I have tracked down a supplier with lots of 3/4” Baltic birch, my wife has been generous with budget, and a buddy of mine is a skilled woodworker with access to a full shop, including CNC. I would love to harness the collective knowledge from this community to help make these truly great. My first thought is to make separate bass cabinet and mid/high “cabinet”. Then each could be perfected in design, time alignment, etc. I also want to experiment with being able to flip the top bin upside down to put the tweeter horn (k703) at ear height and the mid (k510) above it. But if there is a better way or that’s just wrong I’m open to it. the constraints are: 1. visual - they can be big if they look “good”, ie. clean/simple. For reference: My wife really likes our KLF 30’s and the visual look of tower speakers. 2. protected - we have two young kids. So ideally there wouldn’t be exposed crossovers/diaphragms etc. I would be making screens to magnetically attach. 3. not corner dependent- I want flexibility of placement, and would therefore prefer open baffle or front ports 4. Bass - I would like for the single k48 to reach as low as it can without loosing the smooth transition from the midrange. Ideally in the neighborhood of 40 hz I’m really open to imaginative ideas, granted I wouldn’t need to do major crossover surgery from the original. The room these would be placed is a roughly 22x28’ bonus room with 8’ ceilings and two svs subs where I would use a kp-301 as a center channel. We mostly watch shows and movies in this space, but also some 2 or multi-channel music listening. It’s a treated space but kids do play rough in there. Sorry for the novel, thank you for the consideration. Alex

  18. Anyone looking for the baddest height speakers ever?!
  19. I don’t want to disparage anyone who is trying to legitimately make a deal. But do be cautious, as my interaction with the seller gave me pause last time this was posted.
  20. These do look nice! Where are you located. Let’s get these sold to a member!
  21. I bought these last year. The woofer design looks different but everything else physically looks the same. By design I mean one is silver with the model Stamp K48 and the other is black with the Klipsch emblem. Shape and dimensions look the same. the squawkers are identical and the tweeters are now SMAHLs. The one with the huge dips has a 30.B crossover, while the better looking graph is from a 30.A crossover. the cabinets seem to be in good shape. I’ve added bracing while I was adding the extensions. but I want to be clear, the bass extension fell off a cliff 20hz higher before the extensions. Tons of slam, just no depth.
  22. These are the results audyssey gathered not rew measurements while running DSP. So while the results could probably be more accurate, this is what I have to work with.
  23. I know this is a super old thread, but I’m resurrecting to ask about my 301’s after following the advice in this thread. These are audyssey results from AFTER adding 4x6” port extensions. I’m lucky if the response doesn’t fall off a cliff above 80ish hertz. Before the mod, I was lucky if it was more like 90 or even 100ish. This can’t be normal. Also, these big dips on the left speaker seem extreme. (I’ve gotten rid of the 2k dip audyssey puts in already) they’ve had at least the big capacitor replaced. Could it be time for a complete overhaul on the crossover? Cheers
  24. I pm’d you. Im local and had some questions, thanks
  25. I’m local if someone wants me to listen to them. I was already in contact with him. That being said, the last pair I saw sold locally was $1k less than he’s asking.
