Have Cornwall's and tried Khorns ... all with mid and hi range tweeters. But ... these(SINGLE) horns just blow them away. Is it because they are 2" (not sure ... could be 3") diaphragm horns??

Emile Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Just now, Scrappydue said: 2" throat. 3" voice coil Yes; seems to "blow away" the 1" tweeters in the "consumer" series.

teaman Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I know Cory speaks about how good the new two way Pro speakers sound too. He preferred them to the Forte III if I'm not mistaken. I was shocked as to how good the two way KPT-200's sound. Crazy good. I have no doubt that is going to be one killer set of speakers Emile, the fact that you are encasing the horn makes it more aesthetically pleasing. Congrats again on a slick pick up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi teaman ... 2nd coat with a smooth roller got it closer to the "original" look ... but not "perfect." But, don't think anyone will notice unless they are looking "up close." Redid the woofer boxes also with the "smooth roller." Pretty good Cheers, Emile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 And ... with Heritage grille cloth from Bob Crites. Only part due to 2mb upload limit. Damn ... forgot to paint the grille frame black ... only "really" shows with flash photography Oh well ... was good practice ... next one will be even better (and painted) Anyone have any thoughts what kind of Klipsch badges to put on these ... and on the larger woofer boxes? Thanks, Emile 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Still trying to figure out "badges" for these ... PWK or just the plain black "Klipsch" ones." They have cheap (Chinese ) knock-offs on fleaBay. Any thoughts? And ... no clue "what year" these speakers are ... S/N on one is FT456N200110052. Anyone has a clue? Of course, have never seen any of these with grilles. Cheers, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pie shaped and will look very cool against that grill cloth. Yes they are plastic and I $10-12 each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappydue Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 my honest opinion, the pie logos are cool but imo reserved for heritage gear. if i were you id call klipsch and get the klipsch professional badges. they are large and SWEET looking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockhound Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Emile I'm considering putting the new style badges that come with the 396 on my 904's. The old style Klipsch pro badges are my favorite but impossible to find. When I called Klipsch they don't sell the old style anymore. Nice work on the box and grill! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
