What is the benefit of having the mid next to the tweeter, versus the original way? Is this just because of a patent issue?

Tweeter on top of mid? Or am I mistaken, and thinking of something else in there lineup?

I've never seen a stock pair of K's like that. The ones I've seen have always been off to the sides, doesn't mean they didn't make any like that, but that's the first set I've seen.



BTW--Kev, the mid drivers have a metric 6 by 1.0 thread in them. So you need 8- 1" long 6 X 1.0 metric bolts. Got mine at Home Depot....they're just a shade bigger than a 1/4" bolt..

Your example there Bob is how we set up Tim's Soniphase S6's, and we can tell no difference further than 6 feet listening distance..

Here is an ad from 1974 showing the tweet horn on top. I do remember those. I had one (1) very early khorn back in
1963 that was only a two way.

Here is a great time line for all you K lovers. https://2d73e25b29782b6d6766-9c8af5...kcdn.com/KhornTimeline_635116436015580000.pdf
