ssh Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 This is a great buy on surround speakers. I have the 12s & they are awesome. $165 is ridiculous; the rest of the forum must be asleep. SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why, Tim I think those would look great in your living room! (heh, heh) I like the giant Klipsch Professional logo on the front. Your speakers should make a statement about the kind of person you are. And Tim, a Klipsch Professional is certainly the kind of person you are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case, I will have to add my KP-250's to that room since they share the same Klipsch Professional signage! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogwylde09 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Looks like only one available at GCSent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I called them about the speakers. It’s a pawnshop and they will not ship. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually had FOUR of them so I got all four! I'm debating whether I should use them and sell my other surrounds (pair of S-2 surrounds and pair of S-10s) or try to sell them and keep my current surrounds. I have a feeling these would blend better with the LaScalas so I'm leaning toward keeping them unless someone else wants them bad enough to make me an offer I can't refuse.

The CL link you posted 10 minutes ago is already dead. +++ I don't know if you should keep them, but they sure look like a step up from consumer grade speakers. I say let your ears be your guide.

CECAA850 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 They look like an evolution of the KPT-100's with an upgraded titanium tweeter diaphragm. I noticed that the upper frequency cut off is 17k which means they probably have the x-curve built into the crossovers to protect them. it can probably be defeated but someone like Bob or Dean would have to look at the schematic to tell you how.

They are THX certified, so the response curve and frequency response corresponds to the THX requirements. Yes you CAN defeat the crossover and other things that give it the unique frequency response, but it wouldn't be a THX surround speaker at that point. To be politically correct, Klipsch marketing calls it "controlled coverage and standard SMPTE/ISO 2696 X-curve de-emphasis"....lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think the de-emphasis is more to protect the tweeters than to make them sound better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the article " Or in simpler phrase, we perceive sound in a large room to have more treble". In the home environment I wouldn't think the x-curve is desirable. 20 minutes ago, wvu80 said: I believe the upper limit of the K-77 tweeter is 17K. ??? What does that have to do with this speaker?

This speaker uses the K-103-TI-KP 1" titanium diaphragm compression driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
