Karsoncookie Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 It seems those that own K2 seem to use primarily them for LF and subs. Not as often to feed Hi. With my basic ears, won't I be happy using it to feed my speakers in signature - Lo and Hi both?? Upgrade from my Yamaha for higher SPL than average is the reason. Need to decide before Pony leaves for Hope. Thank you all, Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I don't know how good the k2 sounds. I do know that the D45s sound pretty good on the hf section. I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try, if nothing else you have a good amp for your bass bins or subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I use a K2 for each Jubilee. Vertically biamped so half to the woofer, other half to the K402/TAD combo. Works fine and in my opinion, sounds very nice. I have a third K2 waiting in the wings for the Danley DTS-10 My experience has been a good one.

mustang guy Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I looked up the specs: Performance Frequency Response: ±0.25 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The frequency response is band limited with an 8 Hz double-integrated 3rd-order Butterworth high-pass filter and a 30 kHz 7thorder Gaussian low-pass filter. Signal to Noise (A-weighted): >100 dB below rated power. Damping Factor: >3,000 from 10 to 400 Hz I don't own a K2, just an XLS . . .

SWL Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I bought a K2 to power my subs originally but after trying it with my mains that's where it stayed. Dead quiet, clean and powerful. As already stated, mine is neutral sounding and mates very well with my preamp. Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kg4guy Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Fine choice K2 is great for sub duty I'm a Crown fan for running my pro audio speakers and if you have a problem you can't beat Crowns repair department its a flat $213 charge to fix a problem and a max of $363 if the amp needs new boards etc. however I have only had one issue with a Crown amp in the past they are very reliable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsoncookie Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 K2 in the house. Thank you Cornman and Pony Express Riders. USNRET and CECAA Carl. Month or so till I get an ART cleanbox , XLR cables, and hook it up. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 You might try just an adapter. I had a Cleanbox installed between my Peach and DX (active crossover) I ended up taking the Cleanbox out and today run the straight wires to the DX via RCA/XLR wires and then XLR/XLR from the Dx to the Crown. Works very well in my situation. Also, I was once told that the Cleanbox will (by inherent design) truncate some of your low frequency info. Something about a capacitor needing to be swapped out with a different (larger?) one. I did that too....but, couldn't really tell a major difference. I didn't want the extra wires/plugs which alone, was a big reason for me to pull it out. It DID however, certainly make the signal hotter.

Karsoncookie Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Coytee - First off , thank you very much for input. "It DID however, certainly make the signal hotter." My receiver spec says Headphone out .75 V (point 75) So 750 mV. The Crown needs 1.4v input I'm pretty sure to amplify to full potential. If interested, DEANG gave a link Re "Pro" amps vs "consumer" and TWO differing input signal V amplitude level needs. I have re read your post a few times, and It still seems I need the cleanbox considering the above. Re the capacitor mod thing, I understand the current model - -"Pro"-- has the change, or "upgrade" from factory. Please respond with your thoughts. Thank you, Lars So what happened w the elevator idea, and did you get any updates on Lucky? Doing well I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
