    DIY klipschorn clone frankenstein project

    hello all! I recently came into a pair of corner speakers based (somewhat loosely, perhaps) off the original klipschorn platform. I know they'll be a bit of a project and I'll be planning on replacing essentially the entire top hat (or at least the internals). I know that it's very unlikely...

    Help -- looking to ID this obscure klipschorn cabnet.

    Bought this from a seller here in the front range who didn't seem to know too much about the how/where his late father came to collect this piece. From the research I've done, I cant seem to find and ID on the head unit. Any info would be helpful.

    Klipschorn crossover/upgrade identification help

    Hello all. New here and looking for some info. I purchased a pair of 70s klipschorns that appear to have some modifications to the crossovers and the horn “upgraded” to wood. Can any help identify origin of these upgraded parts and thoughts of if the upgrades would have a positive impact on...

    Khorn placement help please!

    I’m bidding on some khorns to put in my new workshop/dudecave space. I just realized that the window placement may interfere with speaker performance in the only corners where the speakers could fit. The windows are set 46 1/4” high and 26 1/4” from the corner, and the dimensions I’m getting on...

    Sansui AU xxx series, noise-rustle on high efficiency speakers?

    Hi, sorry for my bad English. I've never tried Sansui on my Klipschorns, but I only love amps prior to the 1980s. Is it true they have direct current and therefore rustle on the horns?

    Made the Klipschorn upgrade but feel I don't have worthy equipment

    Hello all, I am a proud owner of some 1989 Klipschorns. I have Fortes and used to have La Scala Industrial. I love the Forte, wasn't as enthusiastic about the La Scala but they were bone stock with original 1988 crossovers. Forte I recapped but haven't gotten around to changing to Crites...

    HELP.. My Klipschorn's sound muddy and low-fi

    https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/klipschorns-sound-muddy-and-low-fi.861470/page-2#post-12541483 Someone suggested that I post a thread of a similar nature here at the Klipsch Korner, and I thought that was a great idea. Alright, so I have pretty limited experience with Klipsch...

    New Klipschorn owner

    Thanks to Edroom and his annual audio yard sale I was able to purchase these beautiful giants yesterday. These are my first "big" set of speakers and they already sound fantastic even with the original capacitors in the crossovers. Even had the energy to stop at Home Depot on my way home for...

    It pays to talk about this hobby!

    About 6 weeks ago, I ran into an old colleague of mine. I had last seen him at a veteran of the company get together. He asked me if I was still into audio. I said I was and started enthusiastically talking about how much fun I was having doing it. We chatted a little bit, and then he asked me...

    Klipschorns! (Maybe?)

    Hi all, Against my better judgement I picked these up locally the other day. They sure LOOK like Horns (and are the same dimensions), but there are no tags and the crossover is decidedly non-Klipsch looking. I bought them from the original owners wife, who said her husband paid $1000 a piece...

    Two Klipschorn in one corner?

    I recently picked up a pair of 1978 K Horns dirt cheap from the original owner, and they were local. A few light scratches on the tops but other than that their beautiful. I must be crazy or something, but I just couldn't pass them up......herein lies the problem.........I already have a pair of...

    Yamaha NS-690 MkII vs. Klipschorn

    I have the following dilemma: I have a set of NS-690 MkII, with which I am quite happy. There is however a pair of Klipschorns in very good state on offer almost locally and at a very good price (for european standards). I am very tempted. Any views? I should mention that my current room is...

    Hello From New Hampshire

    I've been visiting Audiokarma for years, but I finally decided to join. I have a passion for vintage gear, esp. silver face plate Pioneer. I just wish I knew more. Currently I own a Pioneer SA-9100 integrated amp, a Pioneer Rt-707 reel-to-reel tape player, a Technics SL-1200 turntable, a pair of...

    Advice and opinions! Speakerlab 7 vs GNP Valkyrie

    Full disclosure- I know almost nothing about sound systems, so if you speak to me like I am a dummy I will not take offense, and might actually prefer it! I have my choice between a pair of Speakerlab 7's or a pair of GNP Valkyrie. I am not sure what other equipment I will be using with the...

    Klipschorn Flase wall or Enclosure?

    Anyone have experience with just an enclosure of the back of the Klipschorn for corner reproduced sound? or does that not work well? I have seen some on the net with plywood sealed backs. Any information and advise would be appreciated.

    David or Goliath - LS3/5As or Klipschorns?

    Am considering selling my 15ohm Rogers LS3/5As for a pair of Klipschorns I'm about to demo in a day or two. Love the Rogers - superlative at what they do, but would like similar transparency, soundstaging and imaging with some more oomph. You just can't play Massive Attack et al on the LS3/5As...

    Reasonable price range for COMMERCIAL Klipschorn?

    I'm trying to help out a guy I do some contract work for. He just picked up a pair of early-1970s Klipschorns- the type that would have gone into a night club or theater or such. These are the ones with no grills, and no side panels, and are "basic black". They have the K400/K55V mid horns, and...

    I also believe these plexiglass Klipschorns were made to show the internal construction of the bassbin's folded horn structure, and displayed at dealer's showrooms.
