rockhound Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I have found a set of these semi local and thought about picking them up as I've always wanted to try a set of the pro line. Problem is I can't seem to find any real world experiences with them. Anyone here ever own a pair if so what did you like and dislike about them? I think these are basically industrial Cornwallis but not sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) These have limited (softer) top end as the horns are designed for mid duty only, but if your hearing rolls at 14KHz then you won't know the difference. A chorus ll would be a better option (all be it a physically larger package)it too has the pro woofer the same mid horn and a K79 tweeter. I don't suppose it would be very difficult to modify the front baffle of the KP302 and include a K79 vertically positioned. With the proper application of acoustical damping material I believe that you could lower the bass response to below 50Hz. You would then have a super Heresy on steroids. They would be a super set of cabinets to have anywhere. Best regards Moray James. Edited January 4, 2015 by moray james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway let us know what ya come up with....good luck :-) These things never come up in my area. Where are you in Maryland I used to live in Aberdeen for a few years worked at APG.I live in Mt Airy and my shop is in Westminster. I snaged two sets of KP362's about a year ago. A guy had them on e-bay. They were not selling, he listed them three times. Well I contacted him to ask him if wanted to trade some audio gear, he had a store on e-bay with a lot of electronics. I sent him pics of all the stuff I wanted to trade. It was a lot of gear, I was not using it and was doing me no good. He met me in York Pa, my wife and loaded up two Honda Odyssey vans with my old stuff. I thought it was a good deal for both of us. He got a lot of gear he could re-sell and I got some bad a$$ KP 362's.....oh yeaGood old APG, I have not been there in years.....very cool place to see the old WWII armor. When I was a kid my dad would take me out there a few times a year. We built model tanks, my dad did some real cool stuff. The kind of stuff that should of been in those model magazines........sorry starting to go off subject. One speaker I ran accross this year for pro-sound was a set of EV Eliminator i's. They were in great shape and had great sound (imho) $300 bucks I could not turn them down. I am not a pro-audio guy, but I am now on the hunt for some matching EV bass bins. So are you still in Md? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Any suggestions on a amp?I love the Carver amps with a lot of my Klipsch. I have also used some Crown amps with my Klipsch 362's they also had great sound.I have yet to use any QSC amps but I would love to try em...... I've got a few of the Adcoms.....again they do have good sound, I use them for my LaScala's.....but again the Carver amps just seem to get those woofers.......woofing....lol lol. I got a few of the TFM line......42, 55 and a 55x. All of those are rated @ 375 watts in 8 ohms, and they run cool. Then you got the BIG Carver pro stuff that is just nuts....the PM1800 and the PM2400 both of those have two power cords. But again the Carver stuff is getting old. I've got a TFM55 that I'm having a tough time getting fixed, my amp guy can't find parts. Anywho.....what I'm trying to say is get a amp that will put some power in those KP 302's :-) Let us know, :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TFM's are nice as well. I enjoy mine. They're just about getting old enough to need a recap but honestly, mine still sounds great as is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Price is right. For the workshop you'll need a good 100 watts is all. Crown D75 would be ideal but any clean pro amp, heck even an old receiver would work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
