Droogne Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I recently came across this horn, which was described as being a mid-horn from Klipsch, but I dont recognise it. Anybody any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I don't remember seeing any large Klipsch horns with a diffraction slot... but I could be wrong. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 It was a Klipsch 94? something, I believe. It was built to satisfy some THX requirements on dispersion and size. It was a short-lived model. I never heard one, but I don't believe it was well-regarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only horn I see on the Klipsch 942 is the K402 itself (on a double woofer bassbin). Or is it a real 942 horn specifically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 94? something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted November 14, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 14, 2018 @Chief bonehead would know for sure, Sr. Delgado was involved in that entire certification process. Jim Hunter @JRH was also engaged in a "dialogue" with Holman in a national audio journal or magazine about the process during that same time period. There is also a high probability that Bill would know @bhendrix. Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARX Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) 2 Klipsch products with apparently the same horn: 1. KPT-941-T 2. KPT-MCM Grand Edited November 14, 2018 by ARX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 === prior to buying Jubilees I had spoken with The Chief about a EAW horn I had atop a 904 cab. He said he wasn’t a fan of a horn with slot exit as compared to Klipsch Tractrix and the 402 in particular— Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARX Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) Throat section appears to be rectangular. If it's at least partly conical on the inside, this horn should work with either Faital or TAD 2" drivers. At home you won't need the K510 or another tweeter, but you'll need some EQ, and delay on your bass cab of course. Diffraction slots are best avoided, however the bigger the horn the less this is an issue at home. JBL 2360's can also sound velvetly smooth at home listening levels.

richieb Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 ^^^^^ === Yes on the horn. Driver was a P audio 75/750 I believe. I thought the sound was very good but then I don’t analyze my room. I just listen — Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARX Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) The EAW CD-5001, CD-5002, CD-5003, CD-5004, CD-5005 drivers are OEM B&Cs with added ferrofluid. Diaphragms of these are the same as, and exchangeable with B&C DE75, DE750, DE82, DE85. There are two different diaphragms for this series of drivers: Full Titanium (mmd3atn8) and Titanium with Mylar surround (mmd3a8m) The P.Audio B/BM750's are basically B&C knockoffs. The diaphragm's are more or less exchangable > wouldn't advise to try this this though. Was this the driver, or a later version?: Edited November 14, 2018 by ARX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARX Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) That was my uneducated guess😎 I like the way he did the cabs and even though I am not a fan of orange, the contrast turned out well. The guy has good taste in furniture and that loft is stunning. You've replaced the EAW horns with K402s? Exchanged the P.Audios as well, I presume?

Are these real Klipsch pics? No photoshop? My MCM has the same XII midbass module shown but I never knew about the EAW mid horn. I have the 402s. Maybe that EAW horn needs to go into the museum.
