Scrappydue Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Crap i missed the train. I love mine. However they are ugly in stock form. They are much better than cornwalls. Except i don’t use them full range like cornwalls are capable of. I run mine with some small subs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Jump on them. I had a set with 3 pairs of kpt-100’s and two kpt-484 subs and wow that setup was one of the best I’ve ever had 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I purchased four KPT-200's from him last week and they just arrived freight today. I haven't even opened the boxes yet but he told me at time of purchase he had a ton of Klipsch and pro cinema gear coming down the pike.

rockhound Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Another happy 904 owner here. Buy them you will be hard pressed to find something better for the money. As others have said they are voiced to go behind a screen so the 510 horn is 3-4db hot. Best scenario would be to ditch those passive networks and go active. However until then enjoy them in stock form. Looks like those have the B&C compression driver in them, another bonus! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a passive out there that would bring the horn output even wih the bass bin? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I'd bet you could just throw a resistor across the tweeter leads but I'm not sure what value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, I read that not only are they a little hot but you need to provide some EQ to them (JWC I think mentioned this). I need one more Crown XTI then I'm going active. I don't want to scare off the OP the K510 is a real overachiever and these simply can't be beat for the price IMHO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 OK All ... picking up this set of 904's tomorrow in Orlando, FL - about 2 hrs away from me. or ? So, have 2 MAJOR problems ... 1. How do i tell my wife? (Got a pair of Forte's about a month ago and was able to "smuggle" those in ... but these are a bit larger.) And, 2. Think I want to walnut veneer them and maybe a separate box for the 510's. Have "veneered" before, but never "rounded" edges ... any thoughts? (Do like Mike's and richieb's "automotive" finish, but don't think my wife will approve.) Many thanks to all! Cheers, Emile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 tell her the simple truth; that this is a process of finding that one special speaker that you want to spend the rest of your life with so you can be satisfied and never have to buy another set again. Remind her of the importance of finding that special one just like you found her. That ought to hold her until you buy your next set. 2 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where were you when I was married ? If she complains about the looks you can tell her you are not superficial and it's what on the inside that counts 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission. Though I figure if you have to ask for permission then you are married to the wrong person. Note; I did not say not to discuss what you want to do with your spouse. Always wise to discuss the implications of any large purchase and if it will impact the family then is there a way to work around that if necessary but having to ask for permission that's wrong you are supposed to be equals in the relationship. Women are supposed to be real big on equality that is if you take what they say as truth. Women's slant on truth more often is rather one sided in their favor. If you are not an equal in your married (common law) relationship then tell the world about it. The time is now # Hash Tag me too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockhound Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I can't answer your question on the veneer but I plan on doing the same for my 510. Congrats on the purchase pics when you get them setup! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Could you perhaps just buy some screen fabric and set it in front of the horn? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'll put the horn in a seperate box (same width/depth, open back) and put it on top - similar to Khorns or LaScala's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
