Chris A Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Mike, This is a good compilation that should answer the questions "why K-402?" and "what makes the K-402 so special?". Roy's discussion on Constant Coverage vs. Constant Directivity is clear here and explains some concepts that most people miss, especially keeping bandpassed acoustic energy off the walls in small rooms. Many folks here did not believe some statements made elsewhere that the Jubilee with K-402 is actually better in small rooms than virtually any other type of loudspeaker. This discussion addresses that subject for all to see. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted April 16, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 16, 2013 Well done, some real facts on why and how , this has been needed for a long time. No one wanted to try to go just by memory and take a chance on misquoting or just getting it wrong. The only thing I remembered positively was how much I liked the K402, which was the easy part.

mikebse2a3 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks guys......you are very welcome. Thanks should really go to Roy for all he has done to help us with the Jubs and especially for all the time and effort he has given to helping us understand the why and how of horns. Thanks Horn Guy..!!!! mike tn[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAKO Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 That is only half the facts,,,HF driver compliment is the other,,,It was found that the P Audio driver and its EQ did,nt sound that good to me,,After my suggesting a better driver to Roy,,,The TAD TD-4002 was found to be even better,,(also needed some EQ) JBL this year introduced its "IMAGE CONTROL horn and D2 HF driver with DUAL diaphrams. In there new M2 Master Reference Moniter,,,Now raising the bar even higher in bandwidth extension,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 The JBL "Control" series appears to be nothing more than small format contractor speakers with a glorified brochure...........little speakers like Klipsch installs in Hard Rock Cafe's. So, what the heck are you talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAKO Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 This has nothing to do with the Control line of speakers,,,But is the new JBL Professional master monitor,,,M2....Image control is reference to the horn design.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yes, I found the new JBL horns and drivers. The new dual diaphragm driver is a lot more interesting to me than the horn, which is small compared to a K402 and has mumps similar to other small Klipsch horns. It's probably an improvement for JBL. However, none of this has anything to do with this thread other than to say there have been several new drivers intorduced since Roy designed the K402 horn and since Klipsch has sold systems with K69 and 1132 and 1133. This is a very good thing! In fact I have a couple of pairs of K402s and have been experimenting with some of these different drivers, and have a couple more to try. It's exciting that there are more choices now as time has gone on. Mike, thanks for posting this info. It answers a few questions about why someone might prefer the sound of a K402 over the older exponential horns or even a pure tractrix or conical horn.

ZAKO Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Mark,,,, A horn is but an enert object,,But takes a good driver to shape its sound,, You cant have one without the other,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 for $24,000 a pair the JBL M2´s should sound pretty good, hard to compare them in any way with Klipsch offerings. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
