Dr Morbius Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I came across these speakers (KPT-904) and was wondering if that can be used in place of Klipshorns as 2 channel listening. I mean, two 15 inch woofers should be a lot of bass. And does anyone know what they run for, factory fresh? Like I said, just wondering……………. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedcrankcammer Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I own a pair of KP-450 Klipsch speakers. The KP-450 is an older model than the KPT-904, but uses the same dual 15 Bass bin. The Bass bin has the advantage of not needing a corner if you don't have one for it, but in my experience, they do not put out as much Bass as a well corner loaded Klipschorn Bass bin. Now on the other hand, it is also my opinion that the K-510/K-69 is an improvement over Klipschorn. There was a pair of KPT-904s just for sale on here for $1500 that Bill H. just sold to Michael Colter, but I do not know if that was the final price or not. I paid $500 plus shipping for my pair of KP-450s and they were in excellent shape. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And $3,000 a pair as compared to $9,000 for the Khorns….. wow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And $3,000 a pair as compared to $9,000 for the Khorns….. wow! That is the same driver (K-69) with the smaller horn (K-510) as the home version of the Jubilee. The K-69 is also a larger 2 inch compression driver vs: the K-55 in the Klipschorn. and the KP-450 / KPT-904 Bass bin is not much more than a box, unlike the complicated horn box of Jubilee or the even more complicated Klipschorn to build. Plus the KP-450 ? KPT-904 Bass bin has no real wood veneer like the Klipschorn and is only spray painted. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Wood Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I have KPT-904/450's. Mine use an EAW horn instead of the 510, but the same compression driver. I had custom crossovers built by Bob Crites based on measurements/experience from Bill Hendrix that shows in stock form the horn is a bit hot (3-4db) for 2ch use. The reason for that is to compensate for being behind a perf'd screen in theater applications. I had a painter buddy of mine spiff them up to be less pro-audio looking. I really enjoy them. - Woody Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Wood Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Thanks guys. It's a bit "live", but the system still sounds pretty incredible if you don't get nutty with the volume knob. I have a smaller dedicated room, but not running Klipsch in there. I got the KPT's specifically for this large room which is about 32'x38' in the main part of it. - Woody Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
