Dave A Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I have two pairs of KP-250's that are different than any I have had before. They have a cloth on masonite grille cover, K-42-K woofers instead of KP-42-KP's and a build date QA tag from 1989. The only information I can find from Klipsch talks about 2000 to 2004 for KP-250 builds. These are far more musical than the later KP-250's I have had. Does anyone have information on these?

jjptkd Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 They appear to be the same thing driver wise have you compared the crossovers? Klipsch made an HIP-2 that was the early version of the kp-250 in the early '80's I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Woofers are different for sure. K-42-KP for later 250's and K-42-K for these earlier ones. Stamped basket VS cast aluminum. I will try to answer your question regarding crossovers later as I make time to check these out. Hoping to pick up a pair of HIP's today for "parts" as the listing says. I have no idea what that means but I am going to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeJ1 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I have a pair exactly like these that I'm converting to Super Heresy II's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gainead Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Claude, did you complete your mods and how did it turn out? I just bought 2 of these from Dave and am curious? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hi gained good to see you here. Hey Claude I am also curious to know now that my mind has been jogged on this.

Klipsch made an HIP-2 that was the early version of the kp-250 in the early '80's I believe. As a much delayed update on the speakers I bought. They have K-42's in them that are far older than I have seen before and the mid horns had soldered lug K-55-V's on them. One round and one square K-77. The cabinets are really crude but stamped with a serial number and I think original. Pics to follow soon. It was a real deal at $300.00. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frzninvt Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Better get an amp with a fan in it as it is hotter than the devil's armpit in Laredo. I grew up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these fit dead on as far as horn part , klipsch uses the same manufacturer for some of their products -------the only problem may be the magnet to clear the tweeter hole but since the KP 250 uses the k79 and it's the bigger magnet , you should be ok ------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
