dtr20 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I've never stepped into the pro lines. Can anyone offer some basic guidance on pricing for these? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I believe there may be protection built in to some models so you cannot fry the tweeter. I know that when I A/B my Heresys and my KP....whether it is my 250 or 201...the KP wins in overall sound every time. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 IMO, the prices are similar to Heresy. Each has advantages and disadvantages, depending upon anticipated use. In the process of providing speakers to a local middle school band, I acquired two pairs of KP-201s, two pair of H2s, and a pair of HIPs. The band director chose the KP-201s over H2s, which was the right choice for that application. Surprisingly, my brother preferred the other pair of KP-201s over H2s. Tim @teaman got a great deal on KP-201s for $250 shipped. My experience is ~$400/pair. The attached photo shows one of the KP-201s for the band. In the photo it’s upside-down. In the band room it’s ~20 in the air angled down pointing into the space. Tweeter is at the bottom Chipotle style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicGoRound also has a pair for $299. They are on these sites almost weekly, if not monthly at similar prices. https://www.musicgoround.com/p/996895/used-klipsch-kp-2500-c-3-way-speakers-pair Tim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtr20 Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 I made him an offer of $150 and he accepted it. I'll hopefully go up Saturday to try them out and pick them upSent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtr20 Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 So I picked these up last Saturday. I just got a chance to clean them up and take pictures. I also picked up this amp, equalizer, etc setup from the guy. His family used to have a restaurant with a club upstairs. This was their system. Anyone have any thoughts on the electronics?

Emile Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 @dtr20 ... you "stole" those ... awesome; congrats. Have a pair and think they are better than my Heresy's (OK; version I). Same sound quality, just much more dynamic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I just noticed your screens are attached with 4 screws. Both of my pairs have 6 screws. I believe yours are newer. The cost of screws must have gone up. 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
