To be precise...mine were built in 1986 from a set of Speakerlab plans . I bought the original Speakerlab drivers for 1200.00 The cabinets cost me 800.00 back then to build. It would cost about 1200.00 to do the cabs right today. In 2008 I upgraded the drivers and horns to: Crites 1526S woofs, 2" DCM-50 compression drivers with a wodd Martelli Tractix horn and B & C ME-10 tweet, and lastly a set of Al Klappenberger Universal Crossovers.. upgrade cost was..2800.00...
So , bottom line is about 4,000.00 for a killer set of K's....The bass is simply incredible, the mids and highs are extremely clear...
Some of the cost can be deferred by using the Elliptrac horns and building them yourself (300 pair), finding used BMS 4592's for mid drivers, and building your own crossovers. I have slimmed the crossovers down to 390.00 a pair. Conceivably, given enough time to shop around and scrounge you can come in for around for 2500.00
