Well, "horny" The JBL 2360 sound fantastic with the KH But my room is too small for the throw They are part of the garage stereo now My neighbors may enjoy them also 😆😆😆 The 2360As sound great with Qpies.

Khornukopia Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 The Faital drivers sound great and have a good look mounted on the K-402. I didn't even know I needed these until I saw them for sale recently. Thank goodness for the Klipsch Forum Garage Sale section. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 Converting the garage speakers from passive balancing networks to 2-way bi-amped with a digital crossover allows me to utilize a nice pair of Sony ES power amplifiers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 When the garage speakers were previously PASSIVE BI-AMPED with the built-in amps of my AVR, I selected the internal BI-AMP configuration on the Speaker Settings Menu, and also the 4 Ohm Speaker Setting, because the Onkyo TX-NR1007 manual simply states "If the impedance of any speaker is 4 Ohms or more but less than 6, set the minimum speaker impedance to 4 ohms." My presumption was that the 4 Ohm setting optimizes the amplifier outputs to the Low Ohm speaker load, since the owner's manual did not say anything else about that mode selection. Well, thanks to @314carpenterand @captainbeefheart I have recently learned that this 4 Ohm menu option is not the best choice, because it actually lowers the voltage supplied to the power amp, reducing the total available wattage output. The opposite of what I presumed of that option. It seems that the reason several receiver companies incorporate this optional reduced power mode is to allow the units to pass a certain Low Ohm impedance qualification test without overheating. Most Klipsch speaker owners would probably never notice the power reduction, and I never experienced a problem, but if I paid for 135 Watts, I might as well set the mode (high ohms) that provides the entire available wattage. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Ran Faitals on my EV HP640s, thought it was a great sounding driver. I too seen those in the garage sale, but then I would have had to reconfigure somethings with the current system which I am not ready to do right now. Thanks for your tip on the AVR settings, now I have something to check and see if it makes a difference.

Khornukopia Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Moving things around in the garage gave me the opportunity to see how the other horns would look sitting on top of the house speakers, temporarily. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not equalized and optimized them yet, still working on all the reconfiguring involved! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khornukopia, I have a pair of ZXPC 18x10 horns on their way to me, may I ask what kind of paint job you used for the copper color? was it easy to apply? does it hold on good on the horn? I think it looked great thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it looked great thanks! The horn in the picture you reference is covered with a vinyl wrap. It is self-adhesive, so it can be easy to learn how to apply it. Some of my other horns are painted. If you go that way, I recommend a turn-table so the horn can be rotated while you stand still and spray the paint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khornukopia Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Compared to the 3 sided doghouse of the FH-1, the La Scala woofer chamber has 5 sides, so I like to think of it as a penthouse. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Recently, @Emilewas describing on another thread about a pair of horn brackets he had given away. I can't find that thread right now to comment, so here is the full story. Years ago, Emile posted on the Garage Sale that he was giving away the brackets from his K-510 horns, so I asked for them and they were mailed cross-country. A year later, he needed them and I was between speaker projects so I mailed the brackets back to him. Later, his speaker system evolved and he offered them back to me. The brackets have held up many drivers and horns, right now supporting some Faitals on the garage K-402s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
