Khornukopia Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Recent additions to my subwoofer collection. KPT-884-SW 36" wide x 48" tall. Should be able to squeeze them in somewhere. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 The KPT-884-SW sounds good. Installing the pair will put me one step closer to a complete KPT speaker system. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khornukopia Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 Attached the copper Klipsch badge. Makes the KPTs look more like home speakers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 I did sell one pair of Klipschorns to a forum member a few weeks ago. They were so pretty that it was hard to let them go, but now I have some extra space to work on a new project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 I think one my next upgrades will be to replace all my speaker wires with something like AudioQuest Type 4 with Star-Quad Geometry wiring, similar to what is installed in the new Heritage speakers. I used to think that speaker wire just needed to have minimal resistance, but further studies show that there is a difference in wires, and that Klipsch has made a good choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 So is Klipsch using AudioQuest wiring now? I remember back in 1981 when I got my first pair of La Scalas (Brand New), i removed all the wiring and replaced it with 12 gauge Monster Cable and we def heard a difference. I believe that wires can make a difference, but I believe that the differences in wire are because of Impedance, Capacitance and Resistance. I have some MilSpec Silver clad wire i have been wanting to try out, but I need to use a lot of wires connected together to get up to 12 gauge...from 20gauge.

The shape of the flange on the K-400 makes it difficult to mount on the front of the board, so I just have to use a newer style horn . I find the mid horn. .. well ..irritating Edited January 8, 2022 by the real Duke Spinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting to learn about why certain wire designs perform better than others for the intended applications. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the fun about this hobby is trying out different loudspeakers, amps and room treatments, etc., to discover the audio system that sounds really good to you.
