Oicu812 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 And gone already. How much was he asking, @billybob ? If they were less than $400 I would have jumped on them. I love their bigger brothers, the KP-3002's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kindly obliged, so I will be able to drive over Saturday morning (around 2 hours each way...). I think they will go nicely with their big brothers, the kp-3002's. I think I will use them both as my center channel, and move the KPT-100's to the rear of the 6.1 / 7.1 setup. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These turned out to unused, or nearly so. No scratches. At all. No wear or tear, no gunk in the rat fur, nothing. Just pristine. I will be hooking them up in a few minutes to see how they get along with the rest of the system, but I don't foresee any issues. It doesn't look like anyone has ever plugged in a 1/4" connector in the back of these things. According to the owner, his half brother was a musician who bought these new and only used them a couple of times, which is believable due to the condition. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound is now more full and the stage seems wider. More comments once I've run them for a while. One thing I did notice while carrying them into the house was the box "rang" when I lightly bumped it against a door jam. It vibrated like a bell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumping the woofers with the tips of my fingers produced a springing sound from one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it to mean that the box construction was still tight and has not been beaten up with travel and use. I will keep an ear on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up cutting the dust cap off where I found a small dab of bronze colored powder on in the voice coil area. I cleaned it and the noise cleaned up too... no more weird sound when I thumped on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
