Coytee Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 They've stated in the past (as i understand) that they're not in the "parts business" Meaning, they're not into selling parts so someone can make a creation. If you need a part and have a serial number, they'll sell you the replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a Klipschorn copy with their own squawker horn and driver on top. Considered a gem on this side of the pond, maybe you could find a pair of those. The cache would be uber!

JohnA Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Guess not. Though, I was thinking old, used horns first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBPK402 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Go big, or go home... Peavey FH1s (La Scala wonabes) with K510s as 2way. Are those 18x10s? They sure look like the ones I bought off eBay that Chris recommended to me. Pretty inexpensive, an can handle a 2" horn driver.Sent from my SM-T830 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 A friend of mine is using my old La Scala bass bins with a EVhorn, and EV DH1A drivers with a minidsp and it sounds great. If you go with that combo, let me know and I will have him give me the settings for the minidsp. I think the horn is the 940. It is about the same width as the La Scala bass bin, andabout the height of the La Scala stock top. If not, I am willing to let you have a pair of 18x10s that have never been used...you just need to pay the shipping from Mexico.

I have now decided to go full DIY and make a wood version of the K400, unless a pair of used horns come up at the right price in the meantime.

ben. Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Probably not easy to find outside of the US and Canada, but I’m working on a project with the Unity horns used in the Yorkville U15 (and U215). They are licensed under the Tom Danley Synergy patent and sound really good. They are crossed at 315Hz for pro audio use. I’m going to experiment going lower for home use. They combine a 1” exit compression driver and 3x5” cone mids on one conical 60 degree horn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben. Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Jeffrey, I appreciate you taking the time and effort to share your experience. I clicked on the asylum link. I’ve never laid ears on an A7 driven by decent much less excellent power. I’m in NY somewhat regularly and am very curious. Shooting you a message. I’m quite fond of these Unity horns. They are designed to behave like a single driver from 300ish on up. To my ears, which have also been around a few blocks, they do a great job of it. One thing I really enjoy is discovering and appreciating various methods to correct deficiencies in all kinds of technical systems. Your post piqued my interest for sure.

drboar Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 FaitalPRO LTH142 and a driver that you like. Realy good horns, I have the slightly smaller 1" variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie010 Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Quick update on this, I managed to contact the Klipsch supplier in the UK and they have sold me a pair of K401 horns. Sorted! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
