Al Klappenberger Posted September 27, 2000 Share Posted September 27, 2000 Hi K55V fans.. Good news and bad news! ... I spoke to Mr. Steve Albin at Atlas Sound today (September 27, 2000). I was given some very authoritative sounding information about the Klipsch K55V driver: The K55V WILL BE AVAILABLE again directly from Atlas sometime after the first of the year. There is a company who is trying to buy this exact driver for use in their production speakers and are pressing them for a prototype. The driver will still be designated the PD-5VH but will be a revision of the current production PD-5VH driver. If you order a PD-5VH from Atlas now, it will not be the correct driver to replace a genuine Klipsch K55V. It will not have the extended frequency response of the Klipsch K55V! The current production version only is flat to about 4200 Hz. I was told that the engineer who is working on the design for the upgraded PD- 5VH used to work for Klipsch and knows exactly what is expected of a K55V. Mr. Albin also indicated that he will long on to this board and post a message himself announcing when the upgraded PD-5VH will be available. Al K.

Al Klappenberger Posted January 20, 2001 Author Share Posted January 20, 2001 Frans, Here it is: http://www.atlassound.com/ Look for the "PD-5", it's the original K55V as I understand it. Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
