kevinmi Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Dave, I just put in a pair of 220ti tweets in my Khorns in place of my Crites tweets, and they sound great so far. I think they complement the 405 mids a touch better, but I've only had them in for a couple of days. They are a tad louder than the Crites also. -kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest David H Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Found a decent way to support the Fastrac in the Khorns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk49 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Dave, great thread, is the khorn fastrac horn the same as the lascala fastrac horn? In to the second week with your Fastrac's in my lascalas', really enjoying the open, smooth sound, gives the piano and guitar a full more natural sound over the K-400. t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Fastrac K", its a 300Hz Fc vs: the Lascala's 350Hz Fc.Dave Harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 kt This horn is the early version of the horn that will replace my Trachorn 400 now that Bill Martinelli has moved on to other things. I have been running tests on a similar horn to verify it's performance. The instrument tests look good. Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Great work!!! and great progress on getting that old face veneer off the bins. Seems to be coming along very well. Sanding the layer below is a PIA, but a box of 180 grit and a random orbital will do it very well. Followed up by some 400 and the new veneer will stick for sure!!

hklinker Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I'm baaack.....[] Great project, Dave! I am ready to tackle a K-horn project and this seems like a great primer. Thanks for the posts and pics! Herb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David H Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Great work!!! and great progress on getting that old face veneer off the bins. Thanks Groom, yes it is alot of work, but I took a short-cut by stripping the majority of the top layer off with my hand planer, then went to the orbital. Herb, is back..... Nice.

Guest David H Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I am very anxious to get back to my Khorn project, but I had a request to address first. It was suggested that I design an adjustable mount for my horns that did not require drillling new holes in his beloved KHorns: such as adding an L bracket or moving the current bracket from the original K-400. Initially I though the request to be a bit unreasonable, however I like a challenge. Here is what I came up with. Because of the position of this brace, I can adjust it up to 1/4 inch in either direction, and will work in the original KHorn as well as the B Top KHorns. The great part is that this is built from left over plywood. Dave Harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest David H Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 More pics, I have always like the open end grain on Klipsch speakers, so I needed to come up with a way to replace the damaged end grain with matching 13 ply Baltic Birch.
