Replacing BOSE w/ KLIPSCH


E3T

Recommended Posts

I am bidding on a job that would involve replacing a BOSE 502 system with a KLIPSCH system. There are 8 of the "cresent" shaped 502's in one area (no sub for low end) and over 24 in another area (again, no sub for low end). The 8 are in the building's "grand entry-way" and the others are in the "arena" as the main sound (they have horrible feed back - wonder why). For aesthetics, I am thinking about CA-8T's & CA-SW-8T's in the entry-way and a KI-362/215 mix in the arena. Am I on the right track?

You could get Quintet satellites around that building and it would be a big improvement.

FWIW, Klipsch puts these speakers in the Hard Rock Cafes...

70 Klipsch KI-102s

6 KI-362s

2 KI-262s

6 SCW-2s.

"The KI-102 is a compact speaker in a trapezoidal enclosure, designed for permanent installation. It uses an 8-inch woofer and Tractrix horn tweeter with a 1-inch titanium-diaphragm driver. KI-102s are distributed throughout the restaurant and store to deliver high-quality background music. (In the store, SCW-2 in-wall speakers supplement the KI-102s. The SCW-2 has a 6½-inch woofer and a Tractrix horn tweeter.) The stage speakers are KI-362s. This is a large three-way system using a 15-inch woofer, a Tractrix horn midrange with a 1½-inch compression driver, and a Tractrix horn tweeter. Rated at 102 dB sensitivity and 126 dB maximum output, just one KI-362, all by itself, can pump out a lot of sound. The six KI-262s compact speakers built around 12-inch woofers and Tractrix horn tweeters with 1½-inch titanium-diaphragm drivers are used downstairs in the bar area."
