    LeBaron:

    I will see how this thing goes at my party, It might be a little over the top so to speak.  I did just get an active crossover just in case. 



    So have you had a listen to your new unit yet?  Since it's a long-throw design, aiming at a wall or ceiling might help spread out the sound for a wider sweet spot, so that's a good idea.  I'd recommend you try it out before the party, to save any embarrassment if it has any problems.

    Guys, What is this bass bin?  It isn't a lascala bass bin as it is 36.5 inches wide.  Did Klipsch ever make a bass horn like this?

    I wonder if there is one in production like this somewhere?

    John Allen takes credit for the development of these pro speakers that are the same that Klipsch produced.  Did Allen and Klipsch have an agreement to produce the same speakers?  If so, who actually did the design?  Why is there no mention of Klipsch on Allen's website?

    Allen and Klipsch DID have an agreement.  Klipsch produced the HPS-4000 speakers for several years, but sometime after KlipschPro was sold, the quality of the gear dropped below what Mr. Allen wanted and he took over production.  I assume under license (he never mentioned that).  A few years ago, during the K-55-M era, he was using the Klipsch designs and horns, but had begun using different drivers for the tweeter and some of the squawkers.

    There is mention of PWK on Allen's website, a tribute.  I posted that link in technical questions.

    It is interesting that John A. mentions KlipschPro being sold.  This appellate decision http://www.ca8.uscourts.gov/opndir/97/10/971114P.pdf descibes the problems.  Much of it is legal stuff, of course.  My guess is that after this deal fell apart, pro theater came back in house.

    That would be a nice balance between the LS and the MWM. Not too small...not too big.

     I haven't listened to it yet, I will hook it up tonight.  I am going to work around with placement before the party. It will most likely be at ceiling level firing across the room and hitting a wall.

    It's nice!  It has a very good effect when it is pointed at a 45 degree angle with the wall.

    Ahhhh, see, that's what I have to do, turn mine around backwards.  Seems to be a trend with me lately.

    Are Allen's tweeters K-77s (T35s)?

    Are the other drivers the same as what K-Horns/La Scalas/Belles use?

    Are these ads relatively current, or old?

    Thanks

    I have it at about 7 feet up pointing across the middle of the room between a Heresy on top of a Stephens Trusonic P52FR in a front ported cab, and a Heresy on a stand, both in corners.  I had to mess with placement a lot to get the room to sound full. It was sounding anemic before the current configuration.  Here is the signal path:

     

    Technics SLP1200 CD player > Bozak 10 2DL mixer > Bryston powering Heresys > DBX 120XP > to sub amp and sub and Crown D75 to Trusonic and MMTM.  Paryy is tomorrow, I can't wait! Tomorrow will be all vinyl.
