PrestonTom Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I had a pleasant surprise and this might be an option for some other folks. Circumstances lead to a great deal on a pair of KP-3002C cabinets. These are two-ways with a K-48 on the bottom, same as in a Chorus but with huge ports rather than a passive radiator. The HF is handled by one of the early Klipsch versions of tractrix horns (in the days before the "modified tractrix" constant directivity horns were developed). I believe this is the same configuration as a KP 302, but in a trapazoid cabinet covered with carpet that is a magnet for who- knows-what. I'll tell you this, for PA speakers they sound pretty darn good. In fact, they sound good enough to use for home stereo. Enjoying my craigslist-find, -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyDover Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 You mean you didn't have to pad them down some? L-Pad on tweeter and mid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 You mean you didn't have to pad them down some? L-Pad on tweeter and mid? The cabinets are a bit sensitive to placement. If you have them on the floor and near a wall (or better yet a corner) the balance seems pretty good. With some material, the vocals do seem a bit strong. I think there is some real potential here. -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 3002 is a 2-way cabinet 15 + horn. That's it, not much room to tweak that sound with merely an attenuator. Have you LOOKED at the network in that baby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
