Gorm Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hello All, Spencer told me that, if you bought the set horn/driver/bracket from klipsch, they will sell you the horn for replacement, after verifying the original purchase. Good luck So whos going to bite the bullet, buy a whole set, and then get "clumsy" and require several new horns? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorm Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Someone said 402 not 510... Really? Cause all I saw was pictures? Either way...sources of both horns are out there. I couldn't make 402s work in my space. Edited February 2, 2016 by Gorm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMH Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 just came here to post that^: Unfortunately, I am no longer allowed to sell the K-402 horns by itself. This was passed down to us a couple of hours ago. We have been instructed to offer the complete unit, KPT-402-HF or MF, with a K69 driver. The price on a KPT-402 is $1,078.65 each plus shipping. I apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any questions about this, you may reach out to Roy Delgado at Klipsch, roy.delgado@klipsch.com. Looks like Klipsch doesn't want my business anymore then, because i am not going to pay that, and then swap out drivers, and crossovers. I will have to either look at used horns or go to Danley, and give them my hard earned cash. I guess that customers whose horns get damaged will have to buy a completely new setup due to Klipsch policy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you own a catalogued Klipsch speaker that uses the k402, and your horn is damaged, you can get a replacement horn only. Just to clarify the purchase of K-402's as replacements is this quote from Spencer: "I understand that you are in need of replacement K402 horns for your KPT-402-MF or HF speakers. I think there’s been a misunderstanding among the Klipsch forum group. Klipsch will allow us to sell individual parts as long as it is being purchased as a replacement for a complete unit, such as your case. We just want to avoid situations where people are buying parts to build their own speakers. There have been cases where competitors have done this with Klipsch parts." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would have to have something from the pro line that utilizes the K402 such as the MCM, KPT-745, KPT-445, Jubilee, KPT-535, or the KPT-932. What if someone was wanting to upgrade their older models to the newer better sounding horn? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 What if someone was wanting to upgrade their older models to the newer better sounding horn? It just dawned on me that if you were upgrading, you would want the whole thing, driver/horn combo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case you wouldn't need a driver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have an entire system such as KPT-MCM-II-Q THX, but Roy was okay with selling me the replacement K-402's after I sent in photo's with serial numbers. the old K-402's were manufactured in 1999. The material used on these early versions is subject to warping from heat and I suspect excessively brittle judging by numerous cracks that were present when I purchased them. According to Roy Delgado "The current horns are made of a different material. Much stiffer." For the cost it made sense to replace the 402's with versions that are tougher and a lot more ascetically pleasing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underneath his façade of an easy going, friendly and knowledgeable Klipsch fan lurks a thief that will happily accept a premium price and give you a sub standard product while claiming that it's the real thing.

Chris A Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 That's certainly not me. All the K-402's that I've owned--I still own. I could use four more.: I'm planning to make them in a multiple-entry configuration (with dual 15" woofer pads and more stiffening) for four more New Centers to be used in my main setup.

Chris A Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 ...is the ringing still there on the P.Audio BMD-750 II model? The P.Audio BM-D750 Series driver apparently has ferrofluid in the voice coil gap to damp those higher order HF modes. They have obviously addressed the issue through a means that keeps the driven mass as low as possible. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1101 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 For the record I didn't know there were older K402 horns made of inferior material. Good to know actually. Is there an easy way to tell by looking at them closely? I got all mine from Klipsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
