I've wanted a set of these for a long time and now that the kids are grown and other priorities taken care of I've been looking for an affordable deal.
A few weeks ago I bought a set of Speakerlab K-horn clones figuring I probably wouldn't find a deal I could afford for a set of genuine Klipschorns, I gave $700 for the Speakerlabs and now will be putting them back on the market.
It never fails, I haven't seen a set of real Klipschorns for less that $3000 until just the other day after buying the speakerlabs and I've been looking at them for years but there they were asking just $1500 and looking very clean although noted to have one bad tweeter diaphragm. After some negotiation I was able to seal a deal for $1200 and I pick them up tomorrow.
They are 1972 vintage and the ad said C-models.
From the ad.... "1972 klipsch kornerhorns, c models, k-43 woofers. one bad tweeter that needs new diaphram, otherwise great condition! "
I'm attaching pics,haven't seen them in person yet,
Well, what do you all think, fair deal?
Once I get them home I'll be looking for lots more info on upgrades and how to's as I'm far from being a tech.
I've read some about crossover upgrades and am looking at a pair of new tweeters from Crites I'll probably buy.
All comments appreciated and any upgrade or resto info gladly accepted.
