The Dude Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I have the k55 on a altec 511b, and a selenium d220ti on the hm17-25 crossed over at 400/4500 from Bob Crites. I think it sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jujubee Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Why on earth would anyone use a stock Klipsch compression driver when there are so many better drivers out there? I use the BMS 4592nd mid driver, which I understand is relatively expensive, but the sound is light-years advance. Oh yeah, but this is with a Volti Audio 260 Horn. While I admire PWK's bass horns, his frugality shows in the mids and highs. Just sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea that Paul was able to build a less costly speaker, that sounds great. Yes I do like to play with aftermarket stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The K55 is actually a very good driver, but for sure you would be going 3 way (or more). Just sayin'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I admire PWK's bass horns, his frugality shows in the mids and highs. Just sayin'. I have the 4592 nd mids that were custom orders from BMS with shorting rings added. I have them on Volti's mids as well and while they are a good bit more revealing in details and less distortion, the K55 with adapters on the 260 horn sounds very, very good IMO. I think the K55 is a huge bargain and a little larger horn made a huge difference for it to my ears. However, the BMS driver really pulls away from the K55 at higher output levels. Since Im not a high output listener, I would think twice before dropping the dough on them again. The K55 is legendary for sound and price, IMO.
