I have some literature for the series if you want a copy. Keith I know this is an old thread, but guess what I found ????? A Minty Pair of KSP 400's !!!!!!! We have agreed on a price, and I should be picking them up this weekend! The amps in the KSP 300's took a shit on me, so they are gone I picked up another powered Klipsch Tower a year ago. It is the Klipsch RP 3. Too bad I had to get rid of the KSP 300's, I would have liked to compare them. The little RP 3 is no slouch, and I have enjoyed them. But I have always wanted a pair of the KSP 400's, and now I have found them !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See them sometimes for sale. Just make sure all is right and let us know. Some here have enjoyed those types... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashco.Ceo Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I realize this is an old topic, but I happen to have the RP-5's, the KSP-300's, and I'm picking up the KSP-400's tomorrow with the KSP-S6 surrounds. These crazy surround speakers put out an insane amount of watts! I'm really looking forward to testing everything out. I just had all the built-in amps refurbished of the ones I got and new 8" woofers in the RP's. I'll see how the KSP-400's amps have been treated and give an update one what I find out. If anyone is interested in me doing a video sound comparison just let me know! paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They left here with fond memories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryOrlando Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Before it completely went away i got Klipsch to send me the schematic to the KSP300 amps. If anybody needs them let me know. I fixed mine... and better caps got rid of the humm that started in about 2000... been running great for 20 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusrasmad Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I would like a copy of the amp schematics. Could you post a link to the images? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryOrlando Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Hi all.. i had one of our electronics designers re-layout the amp board for the KSP-300 ... Klipsch sent me the schematic years ago... the new layout uses the same amp chip but the rest is all modern components. We ordered 3 initially to test... but can order more if people are interested... the first 3 boards only cost $20 each to fab ... without the amp chip... i brought 6 of those from China for $6 a piece... all up i think around $50 as the good caps are kind of expensive these days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never owned RF 5 but have owned RF 7 and could not wait to sell them! The RF 7 was voiced much too bright for my tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the tractrix horn/tweeter appeared to be the same size as the highly respected RB-5 one. I saw an RB5 one for sale online, took a chance... & it fit exactly!!! Sounds WAY better now with the RB-5 titanium "top end" 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryOrlando Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Here's my new amp for the KSP300... on the right to old board... new components, I couldn't get a 1uH coil so I used 2 0.5uH \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryOrlando Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I used 4700uF 100V caps though... so no humm 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
