KLF 10s (any good?)

It is an interesting story how I was introduced to Klipsch speakers. I was a senior in high school (1978) when my brother returned from Germany (Army).
He had brought his stereo back that he purchased there, (Harmon Kardon Citation 16, Phase linear preamp, Klipsch Heresey speakers).

One evening he came to my house and asked if I wanted to help him DJ at a local Elks Lodge since the band that played disco had quit and left them with very few options for disco night. He also wanted to use my RS Mach 1 speakers since the ball room was so big. So we hooked up his Citation 16 to the Heresey and Mach 1 speakers and spun disco records most of the night.
I was impressed by the amount of sound the Klipsch speakers put out, the size lends you to believe different.

We continued for 3 weeks until they found another band so it worked out well that we came to the rescue. They served us free drinks and food all evening and payed us well.

I guess you could say I started liking horn speakers early on and found out how well built the Klipsch speakers were. My brother still has his Heresey's and added a pair of Forte's to them, that being said, it must be my reasoning behind buying my KLF-10s. :thmbsp:
 
Just added a set of 1982 Hereseys to my collection, can't wait to test them out when they get here. :yes:

You would be well advised to recap your networks as the electrolytic caps are long years last their best before date and this will keep you from blowing up your amp. You should also talk to Bob Crites about a pair of CT125 horns they are a direct drop in have identical horn lenses but superior drivers. They have much better hi end extension compared to the stock K77. Enjoy. Best regards Moray James.
 
I'm finding out how good they are after hooking them up to my more powerful vintage gear. I bought them for 50% off at a local Sound Advice store years ago along with a complete surround system which included a Yamaha receiver. They were being sold off because Klipsch had stopped making them. So for years they were used for mainly movies and sports on TV, they were never hooked up as stand alone speakers. I am very impressed after putting them through their paces and doing a compare to my modded RS Mach 1s. It's nice to find out you have a set of jems all along, and I never see any up for sale so they must be making alot of people happy.

Thanks for all the information! :thmbsp:

Happy I could help, Steve.
