J M O N Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I have the 4638 bass bins which are similar and use them for LFE in HT configuration. They are some serious pieces of equipment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 The top horn and driver combos are fetching about $500 (maybe more like $600) a pair right now. The bass bins I am not so sure, but I don't think they are worth the additional $500.00 (that's just me). Is it a bad price? Not so much, but its not a steal either. I think they would sound great. Do you know if they have a passive crossover? if not you will need and active crossover and two amps to run them. Three of those babies would make a decent L/C/R for a home theater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Here is the equivalent Klipsch product: http://assets.klipsch.com/product-specsheets/KPT-904-Data-Sheet-v03.pdf I've heard this one: http://assets.klipsch.com/product-specsheets/KPT-942-Data-Sheet-v03.pdf ...and the 4 x 15" bass bin: http://assets.klipsch.com/product-specsheets/KPT-942-4-B-Data-Sheet-v04.pdf They both sounded very authoritative and impressive, with room-filling imaging and bass. These three are all from the "behind the screen" cinema product line, Chris 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Guitar Center has the bass bins (used) for approx. $400 each. Individual woofers, 2035H are going for $75 and up on ebay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea Nick I think they would kick......I don't know how the crossovers are set up... I'll know more once I see them. I'm still thinking what I'm going off to get these..... There would be no way I could pull off a HT set-up with those.... I just want to check them out for 2 channel... 14 hours ago, Chris A said: They both sounded very authoritative and impressive, with room-filling imaging and bass. Yes Chris I was also thinking of the cinema product line when looking at the JBL's.... I have never seen or heard any of ether in person... Thanks all...... Still kicking it around...gotta talk to the wife/BOSS..... she's the one doesn't want to sell off gear to check new stuff out... I got to run it by her what I want to part with.... If not this weekend maybe next??? MKP :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Id buy every dam thing he had, play and keep the things you want, sell off the rest and that should pay for the new goods. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I have ev 9040s which are similar. When you get horns that large, voices get hairs standing on the back of your neck scary.Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 OK....

MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Little update on the JBL's... Had my audio bud come over last night that knows a lot about active x-overs. He bought one over last night and we got the JBL's pumping.... We didn't have all the cables to get the Crown hooked up. So we used a Carver PM 1.5 for the horns and a Carver TFM-42 to drive the bass bins... Over all I was really happy with the sound they put out.... It really was on another level.... But My bud Ryan told me once I get a better x-over then we can hear what those JBL's can do... We quickly found out that those four 15" woofers in those bass bins ate up all the power that Carver TFM-42 had..... we didn't clip the amp, but you could tell they wanted more power... We might have been putting 2/3 watts to the horns.. So the x-over I'm looking at is DBX driverack PA2.... He was telling me this x-over can do a lot for the money... Think I'm going to order this Monday..... Even my wife was blown away by the sound these monsters put out.... So far really happy with the JBL's.... I got a lot to learn MKP :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I dont know how the dbx compares to Behringer. But i believe mark1011 had a behringer crossover for sale around your price range. I have an Ashley unit and i will say its a big improvement over a minidsp. Just depends if you want digital or analog.

MookieStl Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 MKP, good to see you have found another rabbit hole. You have pretty much covered Klipsch and Carver. Venturing into pro gear should keep you stimulated for quite some time. Good luck on the x over search, can't help you there. Continue to have fun with this stuff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
