Dave A Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Has anyone used DE 120's with a pair of Chorus speakers? I am getting a pair and wondering if this is a worth while upgrade people might be interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave A Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 What got me wondering was that I made an adapter plate for an ASD1001 two bolt to three bolt K-79-K Klipsch stock horn lens but the ASD is pretty heavy. This same plate can also be pre-drilled for the DE120 which people rave about and it is a lot lighter so much less danger of breaking the plastic horn. If indeed that is even a problem. Then of course the next question is that baffle looking thing in the horn lens and should it be cut out. As an aside here. People worry about perfect alignment and exact throat diameters and then here goes Klipsch putting obstructions in the middle of everything and that is OK. Why?

JohnA Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I'd have to see all the parts, but I think that "baffle" is a phase plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John have a look at the horn I sent you and see it cast into the throat area. A part of the lens and not the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one is about the mid range and what I am talking about is an adapter for the B&C DE120 to the horn lens and then is it suitable for a K-79 tweeter driver replacement. Guess I will answer my own question this coming week as I am picking up a pair to modify, test and then sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave A Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 So just leave well enough alone and perhaps just change out the tweeter diaphragm for one of your's? I see so many people speak highly of these DE120's I wondered. If I did stick an Lpad in there or a resistor is the tone going to improve enough to be worth it?

BEC Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I think if you put in an L-pad and attenuate about 3db, it will sound better than a K-79 with stock diaphragm. But probably not significantly better than just replacing the diaphragm with my titanium diaphragm. Bob Crites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 OK That's what I will do then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
