Narrative:
We were proceeding south on a class B clearance toward overflight of love field; which was in sight. We were in contact with love approach (not tower or dfw approach) and following the visual track assigned by the controller. We were advised of traffic above us; which we did not spot. A king air 200 or larger came into view from our upper left descending through and below our altitude and crossing from upper left to lower right. Estimated miss of 300 feet. They were in a left bank heading for a landing on one of love field's runways 13. We could clearly make out the tires; landing gear doors and some details inside the main gear wheel wells. The king air must have been on a different frequency and controller. I wondered why the king air did not get a resolution advisory (RA) when I spoke with the controller; but he didn't seem to notice. Since there was clear relative motion and they were faster than us and in front of us; no evasive action was needed.
