I don't know which mid horn Mark has but if it's the original it's not a 402 it would be a KPT-XII-MB.

What it looks like in the pic is maby the refelection of the dust cover on the driver, maby ?

This is from Klipsch.

Nope. It is a "402" however, it's configured with (I think) an 8" compression woofer on the back to work as the midbass unit. I think Mark said it was the KPT-305 (or was it KPT-503?) Regardless, the horn itself IS a "K402". Swap drivers, put a K69 on it and you could set it atop a Jubilee and be ready to go.

I sent Roy an email the other day, asking about this driver/horn... to get his thoughts with my single MWM stack if it would make sense to put this midbass unit on top with another K402 with the 1132/1133 midrange driver and ANOTHER K402/K69 on top of that creating a 4 way actively amped stack with the two MWM bins on the bottom and three 402's stacked above (in different configurations)

I'm wondering about this when used outdoors with intended volume.

I talked to Mark late last year. He had borrowed the KPT-XII-MB from JC and decided to order his own.....which took forever because, apparently, Roy was working on a "new improved" version with a smaller throat, so those must be the latest. We won't know for sure until Mark chimes in.

OK, I didn't think you could put a driver that big behind such a small throat so I guessed it was the other design.

I kind of like the other design, it looks like it would put out alot of midbass, but if there is a new design why not. [Y]

I trust that Roy woudn't do it unless it was some sort of improvement over his prior design (higher efficiency/lower distortion over the sambe band?), or that the old driver suddenly became unavailable, and triggered a different choice.

I'm new to the forum, so here's my "first steps" into the Klipsch world: a pair of oiled oak KG4s

Dammit... SEE what happens when we get some Quartet's & RF-63's frollicking around naked in the living room... [8o|]

Twins at that... well, at least they're good looking twins!

I'm new to the forum, so here's my "first steps" into the Klipsch world: a pair of oiled oak KG4s I found on Craigslist. I sanded them to 220 grit and topped them with 4 coats of boiled linseed oil. I love them, they sound great!

Welcome to the forums hockeytowner. The KG4's look superb! Nice job on the refinish.

Very nice! I especially like the Heresy setup.

I envision a 2 ch setp with the gear hidden in the roll top.
