Srinath Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 When did they switch to a composite mid horn in the K horn specifically but in general as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davecv41 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 A pair of LaScala LS-FB I bought new in 1988 or 89 had composite horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 It changed on November 20, 1987. The molded horn is "foamed" ABS which results in a more damped structure with a just barely measurable decrease in harmonic distortion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I prefer the Metal Horns , they are beautiful in comparison , to a plastic horn , but the plastic is less maintenance as the K400 is painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srinath Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 Yea I like the metal mid horns too but sound isn't better due to it being metal. However - tweeter horns need to be metal IMHO. plastic sounds terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
