Klipsch Pro

PWK signed lascala posters

thackmate — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:41:54 GMT

I have available for sale two of six of the now rare LaScala poster - "With LASCALA speakers and a 35 watt amp you can entertain your friends ...or your neighbors". These posters that came out for dealer use in the 1970s are very rare these days. However, the two that I am offreing for sale are extremely rare in that Paul W Klipsch had personally signed them back in the '80s. They are in excellent condition with only minor damage to the right hand edge that would be trimmed or covered when framed. Paul signed six of these posters for me when I was the Australian distributor for Klipsch products (1975-1992). I had framed two which I have left with friends in Australia for safe keeping. Prior to Paul's passing in 2002 I had sold two of the four that I brought with me when I moved to Arkansas and now there are only these two left and I am offering these to Klipsch fanatics to treasure.

Please contact me to discuss you level of interest. Ian Thacker. thackmate@yahoo.com.au They are located in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Value of circa '96 KP-301's?

Shep — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:41:46 GMT

I have a pair of good condition 301's that I need to sell. I am not sure if they are 301 II's, but I'm almost positive they are not IIA's. Right now, I don't have them sitting in front of me to check. They have the 1/4" connector, not the speakon connector, and they were built in October or November of '96. They are in great shape. Anybody have thoughts on value? I searched the forums, and found references to buying and selling, but no prices. I will probably list them on the garage sale in a few days, but I am giving a guy locally first right of refusal.

Thanks!
Shep

KP-600 History

seti — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:59:42 GMT

I've been looking for information on the KP-600's. There isn't anything posted on the Klipsch site that I can find. Can someone fill us in on its history? Why was such a great system discontinued? If someone could post some official literature that would be super cool

WTB: K-48-KP 121528 15" or Recone Kit for the KP-3002

Oldblindjim — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 18:46:58 GMT

Howdy,

I'm looking for a driver or the re-cone kit(s) for the K-48-KP

I assume they are 4 ohm.

If there is a complete (not the online info) spec sheet on the KP-3002, please send it over.

Thanks

OB Jim

Stay tuned for 3002's & 4002's In Canada and ready to rumble!

dollar bill — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:53:31 GMT

Pictures to follow.

UPS had a fist sized hole in one of the boxes(sound familiar?), but it would take something mighty to hurt these beasts.

Gonna warm everything up and then have a screening of Bruce Lee's Enter The Dragon to christen them in one of their new homes.

Thank you Mike Robin and all who have helped and advised me up to this point.

YIPPIE!

1 pair KP-4000 18"

rad500cad — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:49:46 GMT

I can't find any info on these not even on the Klipsch website. Would my Luxman M-02 C-02 be enough to power them i hope i get this right the book shows 150w/pc minimum continuos @ 8 ohms, 320w btl @ 8ohms mono, dynamic power stereo 290 w @ 4 ohms, 410 w @ 2 ohms. 600 w btl @ 4 ohms. The kp-4000 are overkill for my bass shy Heresy's but these came up for sale i emailed the seller and he said they're in good condition they have been reconed. Is there anything else i should ask him. What would be a fair price for them? Or should i just buy some Chorus II.

Big sub or little subs?

Juxta Pose — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:53:51 GMT

Hey I'm looking for some bass boost to accompany my 4 kp-362s.

I've been told that big subs are used less for electronic music, as the lag of a big driver can put the beat out of time with the higher freq.

Is this true? Should I be running several small subs( say 4x 12" or 15") or should I head towards a couple of big subs(like two 18")?

I've even seen some 21" subs about two! Although they seem pretty impractical transport wise an seem to be a bit of a show piece for most who have them( 15" or 18" subs I've used have given plenty enough bass).

The music the stereo is used for is often a low beat an bass with tempo's ranging from 100 bpm to 150 bpm, with anywhere from 1 to 4 bass pulses between each beat.

Any info appreciated

LSI photos

colterphoto1 — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 21:07:24 GMT

Seeing as how I'm currently proud owner of 3 pairs of LSI speakers, I thought I'd go through them and post some photos.

Here's the inventory- LSI-BG splits purchased from Detroit eBay. One of my first Klipsch purchases in the collection, I visited Picky (my first Forum visit) while in Detroit. These are staying!

LSI- al trim pebble paint splitmodels - these were purchased off eBay also and were near Dtels. Although I'd never met them I knew they were very cool and they were kind enough to pick them up for me and audition them for a few months in their home. Later a friend of mine was doing a vehicle pickup for his work so he went down and collected them for me. They've been part of a double stack- impressive but rarely used set in my garage/shop. Since they're really no longer needed I've agreed to sell them to longtime Forum beggar RPlace. JK, but he's been persistant in letting me know that when I'm ready to sell.... So they're going away on Monday (tears up a bit). Photos here are mainly so he has something to drool on for the next week.

Another set of one piece LSI-BG was purchased last week from a guy who is tour manager for Aerosmith, Moody Blues, and others. He lives all the way in Greenfield IN about 30 minutes away. These have received tweeters with new diaphragms, a pair of matched (yes I tested them) K55V, and had everything checked out. One of these had been painted flat black as they had been in a Las Vegas club previously. So I"m slowly getting them cleaned up and ready for SALE. $750 takes these beauties home!

KP-456HF & KP450LF opinions

Riot260 — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 22:51:46 GMT

Found a set for sale. Curious if worthwhile? Anyone have any comments on the 65 watt KP-456HF Tactrix Wave Horns(K-1132-8)? Or the 300watt dual 15" KP-450LFs? Any idea of what they are worth now or what they cost new? Thanks!

what model is this ?

DJ_nr1 — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 07:01:21 GMT

looks like KPT-325 bass bin ? http://www.2dehands.be/luidspreker-15-62773156.html any ideas ? cant find it on klipsch.com thanks, Ronald

K1132

Bobby Corn — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:33:52 GMT

I need a K1132 driver for a set of horns a friend has. Can anybody help me?

Where there's smoke?

dollar bill — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:14:47 GMT

Trying out a BSS 360 crossover that I was thinking of buying, on my 2 Yorkville 18's, rated for 800w each, max program.

Running through a frequency sweep, at what I thought were levels well within safety, as well as the bins having circuit breakers(lol).

Sweep hits a little lower than most, dropping down to 25hz, which rippled through, fast and loud(er), causing smoke to start curling out of the back.

Am I correct in assuming that these are done for?

Klipsch KP-3002 Internal Crossover Repair (HF inop)

Stevo — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 17:54:43 GMT

Howdy out there; first post here and a question:

I just picked up a pair of Klipsch 3002's, and have scoured the forums already for information. The internal crossover in one of them is inoperable, the HF out is non-functioning. [Originally I thought the horn driver was bad and have a replacement for it, but on a hunch, I checked the drive PCB from the other housing in the broken one and the horn started working again. So obviously the HF channel on the distribution circuit is bad.]

One friend suggested powering the speakers and tracing voltage along the PCB until I got a dead reading, and then presuming that component was bad. Is this a viable test method, or how else should I go about testing the board? Will replacement components be available, or should I just plan on buying a new control board?

Pictures for the fun of it:

The suspect panel with screws already removed

The grille and front

Bottom reinforcement added by the previous owner?

Corner damage. If I have time, I'll reinforce these with rounded metal corners similar to those you find on the roadready boxes.

I plan to follow the 15th post of this thread to help with the "restoration." (It's more of a function thing than a good looks thing; I just want it to work well first... We'll worry about looks later.) The idea is to go with a less expensive and portable system similar to JoeyDingo's Beer & BBQ system.

I also have a "Crest 4001 Professional Power Amplifier" that I'll be troubleshooting soon, it has one channel out. Is this forum an appropriate place to discuss that? I have little to no experience troubleshooting sound system amplifiers.

Thanks in advance,
Stevo

Biggest Rig

Professor Thump — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 04:21:50 GMT

Okay... Enough small talk about small rigs like KHorns and Cornwall Horns. I mean make up your mind. Is it in the corner or on the wall? I have an hankering for something much bigger. A really big rig. I am thinking more like 500,000 Watts of pure power like Pink Floyd did in 1994 or this picture of the Greatful Dead's rig. How many speakers can you stack? Lets see the pictures of your favorite...

BIG RIGS!

k-48-k replacement ?

DJ_nr1 — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:15:26 GMT

Any suggestions for a suitable replacement for the K-48 for a KP-115 ? I just bought a set of (what I thought) were KP-115's , but the drivers are swapped with eminence drivers (no labels, markings, so hard to tell what type they are). http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/kp-115-specifications/ I've checked with Klipsch technical support : they tell me they no longer have them, I've checked with Bob Crites, he doesn't know of a replacement, Thiele Small parameters are chinese to me, so this post is kind of my last resort ... Thanks in advance for any insight you can give. regards, Ronald

Pilgrimage

Juxta Pose — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:41:54 GMT

Hey i'm looking for parts for some kp-362s. I'm travelling to the U.S. in a month (19-11-09) and travelling from New York to Chicago to Memphis to El Paso and then finally to L.A.

I'm travelling through Hope Arkansas and hope to get a stop over there, are Klipsch systems common locally or are they more dispersed? I know they made white kp-362's for churches but i'm not sure how many.......

I'm looking for a k-48-kp 15inch sub and a k-792-kp tractrix horn. Those are the codes off the Klipsch info spreadsheet I was given, not sure if they're are used or known under something else or if something with a different name may be the same specs just different year etc. I have some very similar speakers with horns but a 12 inch sub an they're hi-fi/house speakers. Horns look almost the same as k-792-kp but much less power handling..

I'm wondering how popular(and common) the kp-362's are and hoping to pick something up towards the end of my journey so i can throw my clothes out of my case an put them through checked baggage. Does anyone know of any hi-fi/ public address system shops in the Santa Monica area? I know there are a lot of car/ odds an ends lots over there an am hoping to find a similiar shop for stereos and stumble accross the parts i need!

Any ideas would be a great help

Cheers

Help me biamp my KP302-B-BR please

tensleep — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 18:51:19 GMT

I am ready to biamp my Klipsch!

QSC CX1202V for the low frequencies
Rotel RA870-BX integrated for the mids, highs and sources.

I believe that the crossovers are designed for this. All I have to do is remove the red jumper from the terminals, right? See the pictures below.

Then, I will have to split the Rotel preamp out and attenuate the input to the QSC so that the Rotel amp output matches the QSC amp output.

Suggestions?
Corrections?

Outdoor Speaker Recommendation

trapper9 — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 20:07:39 GMT

I am looking for advice on which model of outdoor speakers would be best. I am currently using a set of La Scalas with a Small tube amp. I can utilize a large solid state or tube amp. I have a spare BAT Tube pre amp I can use. I want to get a set up that will get it on with plenty of bass as well. Thank You Robb

MWM rebuild

colterphoto1 — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:14:53 GMT

I have two sets of the dreaded MCM stacks, one was purchased in Atlanta in spring 2006 and was personally ferried back to Indy by myself in a 5x8 UHaul trailer. They were toured through the southwest by a R&B outfit and ended up in the hands of their drummer. His wife wanted them out of the garage.

One of the standard (double 15) bass bins fits exactly in the back of a truck bed and we managed to get the rest in the trailer. The 5x8 size is necessary in order to get the 44" wide MWM in the doorway. There is not room for two MWM's so one must travel elsewhere.

This set has been sold to a Forum member and I have promised good operating condition with new K43 woofers installed. This thread chronicles some details of the MCM stack inspection and refurbishing process.

Here we are with the traditional handshake before moving out with the load.

Vintage sub assistance

Tuner — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:48:59 GMT

I have a pair of KP 250s? which I think are pro model Heresy speakers. Klipsch made a complimentary set of subs, maybe KP115s? I passed on a set a couple of years ago and have regretted it since. Can anyone give me a clue at to the correct model number for these subs...or know where a set can be purchased?
