Chris A Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Not a 402 - rather a (one) KPT-941-HF. Not a KPT-305 - rather a (one) KPT-XII-MB. Older style K-510 without "mumps". Chris Edited May 16, 2015 by Chris A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) mine - no jk, I just bought 3x KPT904 The top horn is not a 510 but the HF, it's smaller and used with the K69a as the tweeter in the 4 way cinema array. Or at least, that's what SHOULD be there. Does it look like a very small driver on that K402 horn? I wonder if they have the drivers on the wrong horns in that system?

Chris A Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Not K402, Mike. The middle horn has a really big diffraction slot in it. Look closely. If you are calling the KPT-XII-MB horn a K402, that's your prerogative, but I wouldn't call it that. Edited May 16, 2015 by Chris A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) I was going to say, that the K402 horn doesn't look right. It looks more like a JLB 2360 with that slot in throat. I am sure that would still be a heck of a set up. Edited May 16, 2015 by duder1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjd Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) It looks similar to the old KPT-MCM Grand Cinema Speaker. http://www.klipsch.com/kpt-mcm-grand-cinema-speaker/details Edited May 16, 2015 by Fjd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrapladm Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 What is the horn at the top? And what freuency does it cover? Always been curious about building one of these monsters but possibly using a Raal at the top. That being said I have never heard the 402 so I will wait to hear everything before I go adding ribbons.

Coytee Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I have only read cursory comments about the Raal. Isn't that a ribbon tweeter? Would it have the grit to keep up with the output of a horn system like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrapladm Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Yes it is a ribbon. All honesty, I would think it would not have the horsepower to keep up. I can think of some other ribbons that would but those will never be an option. I would go with the Beyma TPL-200 if I really wanted a ribbon/AMT. But I know the Raal has just a touch more sparkle above 10Khz and above. BUT I will have to listen to the 402 before I say I need anything else. My experience so far is that on the highs on normal spl levels in a room I have never heard a CD that sounds as good as the AMT's or ribbon tweeters. BUT there are not many ribbons that are used for pro audio unless they are large and that would become a problem with directivity matching. The Raal supposedly can take 200w which in theory would be plenty loud for a tweeter. BUT the Beyma TPL can take a lot more abuse from my experience. But again I am only curious. I know that some of the Khorn upgrades have a Beyma supertweeter so I was only curious on that area of improvement. I know JBL does this on some of their larger 3/4way designs also but I have not heard them. So again just ideas. For the most part I am going to build a straight dual 15 horn possibly(JWC please ) or straight dual 12 design. JWC's Then add a EV horn for the top. Will have to wait some time to save for the 402. I will more than likely be very happy with the final combo. I just know that when I changed the mains in my living room I was amazed the difference in sound when I went from ribbon/amt's back to CD. And while that was shocking the one thing I REALLY miss are the dynamics you get fom these straight horn designs. Its been a long journey with very little money. So I am tryng to learn as much as I can and hopefully get what I want in a system in the end. Just looked at some PM's I have that were from 2010. I remember writing those PM's and it felt like a year ago. So this year I am finally going to make some saw dust. And hopefully my dual 21 FLH will be able o keep up with the mains.
