Greg Keneborus Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 I have been searching for complete speakers or components for the Klipsch KP 450 series. (cica 1989).This is the double 15" lows with the detachable high pack. I believe they have been discontinued. I own a pair and would like to add another set. Any ideas where I might find these?

lhtf Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Greg, Here is a web site that might be useful. www.hticsproaudio.com They sell used audio equipment. You might be able to find some Klipsch product on their site. I will let you know if I find anymore websites that sell used audio equipment. LHTF is a bum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey B KP600 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 P.S. The 904 Theatre speaker is the KP 450 LF section with no grill and handles and they have a new B&C 90 deg. horn that will work just fine. The KP 450 A or B ws a great speaker I have 8 of them. The later versions were called KP 456 A or B. They used an 1132 driver in the HF instead of the K 60.. Need more info call me @ 978-343-9343.

Michael Okay guys I am confused by the spec sheet that Michael posted for the KP-450 It indicates the HF horn is a K-501 and mated to a 2 inch driver. I thought the K-501 was used in the Belle and had a much smaller throat. Is this really the same horn and now used in a two-way configuration or am I confused.

Guest " " Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Tom Was there ever a k-501 in a Belle or just a K-500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I think it was really proably a different horn and throat, but the basics were a 500 exponential horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Was there ever a k-501 in a Belle or just a K-500? Well, now that I think about it ..... Maybe that is my confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I think it was really proably a different horn and throat, but the basics were a 500 exponential horn. So your guess is that this K-501 is NOT one of the early modified tractrix horns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Perhaps you're confusing the modern K510? Roy and I went on and on about the 500 series horns somewhere. I think it's here or on another thread. I'll see if I can locate it. There was K502, K506, a bunch of them. I forget what's what now.

PrestonTom Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 " Perhaps you're confusing the modern K510? " No, I am very aware of the K-510. My confusion is that your PDF on the '450 said the horn was a k-501 on a 2 inch driver. I had assumed the K-501 was an updated horn used in the Belle (just as the K-401 was an updated K-400). That may have been my mistake. Perhaps I should mention my goal. I am trying to get an idea of the various Klipsch-made horns that satisfy all of the following: 1) usable in a two-way system, and 2) have a 2 inch throat, and 3) have the "modified tractrix" expansion (i.e., a CD dispersion) and perhaps 4) is a reasonable size and perhaps 5) can be obtained on the used market (IOW, it is affordable for a smaller project) So far my list includes: K-402 (it is the big one, & favored in the "home Jubilee systems"). K-403 (the prototype that was also made in wood, but it never went into serious production. It is larger than the K-510) K-510 (a smaller version & is infrequently used in the "home Jubilee systems") K-605 (this model number was testing Roy's memory, but it was used on the KP-366 cabinets. It has a narrow directivity pattern) So does this "K-501" from the 450 cabinet fall into this category? This topic may be of interest to others. If it is, I will initiate a separate thread. -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
