MMurg Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 2 hours ago, pnort said: Will I be able to upgrade a pair of 1972 Khorns? Very unlikely. Any upgrade kit for these coming La Scala and Khorn changes will likely be limited to AL5/AK6 owners, because the horn for current Celestion tweeter (which is being carried over from the AL5/AK6) would require cabinet changes to accommodate it. I don't know if Klipsch would sell the kit plus the current tweeter assembly to those with older models who are willing to do the cabinet changes themselves.

Marvel Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 1 hour ago, MMurg said: These prototypes are using standard AL5 cabinets. That bottom hole is just for the wire from the bass bin to come through to go to the crossover, which is in the top cabinet on the AL5. The terminal cup on top of the bass bin is right below that hole. The round hole in the back is there because with the old, really long K-401 horn, the midrange driver does not fit within the top hat. The driver sticks into that hole. I imagine that the rear hole will be eliminated in the new version. Thanks Michael! I didn't think Roy would be channeling Dennis... at least not so overtly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a tease of the changes at SubFest last fall, but during this class Roy finally revealed the details. Just remember that all of this information is preliminary and subject to change. The first change is the replacement of the K-401 midrange horn... Thanks for sharing the info and the pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to save yourself additional trouble of adjusting levels it's better to use 6 identical channels or all same amplifiers (3 stereo). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivi Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 To the people asking about multiple amp channels: There are so many great multi-channel pro audio amps that slap all of that bougie "hi-fi" stuff around in terms of bang fer buck. I personally am using Crown Drivecore CDi 4|300 (1 unit, 4 channels) on my KPT904s for -home- listening and they are delightful. Cost faaaaar less than subsidising the venture capital purchase of McIntosh. I've heard so many snazzy amps and so many pro amps and I swear it's just wallet bias that makes people of a certain persuasion (that meaning: easily persuaded to part with their $$) think there is an audible difference. This upgrade to the La Scala is a huge vibe. I just wish you could apply it to my 1984 model year LS. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a simple wooden stand for the new horn and driver, allow it to sit right on top of the LS cabinet? I think it would look pretty cool, if it's feasible...

Boydfp Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I wonder if the new speakers will be offered in tri-amplified versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flevoman Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I'm curious about so much that's coming up. I can't wait until some more official information about the new subs and La Scala upgrade finally comes out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 It's spring time and love is in the air! I'm not a big bass eater myself but I do like a lil bass. Lake Erie perch though? That's another story! 😂 Now @billybob just for the record that smoked striper bass you speak of? I might just have to stop in some day and pull up a chair w/ya. Smoked is great! I'll bring the Heineken. Can't be that bad. Never thought I'd eat catfish either til I hit the Army. The old cook said the small ones were great and he was right! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, yes would have to travel to Ocklawaha to catch the stripers. Catfish are generally fried not smoked but... Have had different smoked, all good some better, salt water fish. Smoked black mullet is very good and available locally at times. Dang, even a ___ likely good smoked. Smoking abit of an art to come out to my taste, done and not undersmoked and too mushy. Klipsch, just right... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
