Coytee Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 If you refer to what's sitting on top of them, I can't fathom that is what the person is referring to. The tweeters in those (without measuring) would be something like 2" tall by maybe 5" wide, not what's sitting on top. What's sitting on top, strikes me more as a midrange driver/horn (but I don't know that.... in the cinema size stuff that could easily be a tweeter but, not in the Heresy world) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Z Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/588595308525854 It's also listed on Facebook. Says he replaced the K-77s with them. I never saw something like this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Wow, looks like you're right. People do some interesting (or not!) things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 On the glance, it looks like the stock tweeters are missing??? (I've not tried to zoom in) Seems to me if they ARE missing that the sound might be skewed a bit with that "port"?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeJ1 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I own those horns which are similar to the ones I had in my Indy system with K-402's and my own Quarter Pie horns. The drivers are OEM B&C DE-250's or copies from an unknown source. Those drivers are some of the best you can get. The asking price is a STEAL for someone willing to get a pair of DaveA's sMAHL tweeters, buy Eminence Delta Pro 12A woofers, and turn them into my Super Heresy Mod. Speakers. Why the mystery? So many people mount horns on top of cabinets like LaScalas all the time, including the guys who made conical waveguides with ESS Heil Double Stacked Tweeters!

Bobby Z Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Do you mean using just the cabinet and mid driver/horn or also using the parts xpress driver with Dave's sMahl lens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best driver for that is the DE-120. Now if you wanted a 2-way, then, you could use it as is and disable the Klipsch Mid, but you would still have a Frankenstein approach.
