twistedcrankcammer Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Thanks Doc! Good replay there. What did you think of the Behringer amps? On the KP650HF, the K78 motors (the working half of a K77) only handle the very top octave (10kHz to 17kHz), not nearly two octaves as on Heritage stock. The big K60 motors are doing most of the work, quite a bit of bandwidth really- from 1kHz to 10kHz. And the passive network that splits the HF duties (the system is 4/5 way - subs, LF, 10" mid, then the two sets of horns with two drivers each, being 2x K60 and 2x K78 motors) has a very high parts count so I'd imagine that network is working at 18 or 24 db/octave. The tweeter portion is also fused internally for protection. The brochure calls the manifolds 'two-barrel', I like that terminology. Glad to hear that it carried well. Here's the entire KP600 brochure for all you propeller-heads out there who need to know more. Michael, Out of the 6 sets, or 12 stacks that Opti-Dave owned, he had 4 stacks with the K-1132 drivers in them. Both of Kevins stacks have the K-1132 drivers, and both of Bill Hendricks (now FYRPWRs) stacks have K-1132 drivers. I have dual K-60s like you. All 8 stacks of Joey B. have Dual K-60s. Bob in Florida owns a mix of both, and says he does not hear a difference. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLIPSCH'S PRIVATE OFFICE: (In the Wounded Buffalo Engineering Building) It's pretty much the way Paul left it when he left us in 2002. The very same chair is there waiting for him with its wear mark on the headrest from the back of Paul's head. An optical device and radio receiver sit at the front of his desk...

picky Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 fyrpwr and Steve Phillips check out some of PWK's "shingles", horn drivers and misc. items on the bookshelf. Steve told me that in all of the years he's worked for Klispch and been down to Hope, today was the very first time he'd ever been inside of PWK's office! He looked amazed by it all as were the rest of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Behind handrewmoore, is PWK's 5-foot sliderule. I was told he was all aout sliderules and actual made several himself, including one he used for speaker response! Those are not books on the shelves; they are 7" reel-to-rell tapes. PWK loved recording live music and especially loved to listen to marching bands perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
