Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

RE: I disagree

Either way you will get Khorn bass, it's the top end that is most critical anyhow.........."The midrange is where we live"....Paul Wilbur Klipsch.

BTW, I measured several Klipsch K55V drivers on K700, K600, and K401 horns. The curve is the smoothest and lowest responding on the K401 horn (the one from the current Klipschorn). Although PWK himself told me that after doing the K500 for the Belle center speaker, he felst the K400/401 was longer than it needed to be for the intended frequency range. I still prefer large throat horns for the midrange....2", and 1" for the super tweeter. The B&C DE250 is my current one (just got 2 in my setup) but I understand that BMS makes a slightly better one for more money.

I noticed the Klipschorn Jubilee prototype at his widow's home in 2007 had a tractrix horn with a 1.5 in throat driver (I think it was a B&C, not sure).
