Klipschorn Flase wall or Enclosure?

Anxious to get them back and hear them. Have my rebuilt Heresy II's in their place listening to a Jack Johnson album. They sound really nice in their own right. Did you find a wood worker to cut your sides?
 
Well let me know what you think when you get them back into play. I am very interested. And No I have not found a shop yet. I got distracted both yesterday and today. Hopefully next week before the holiday. Shouldn't be a big deal for a woodworking shop to know out. Here is my simple fix for now and it sound ok.

Since you're going to the effort of finding a woodworker, will you have 4 sides made in case you need to move them? Nice looking stand and gear. Bet it sounds great.

Looks like an Ar turntable? Was it in good working order when you got it?
 
That would make sense and I was contemplating just that. Were the measurements exact for both speakers when you made yours?

Thanks! The stand is made of Mesquite Wood.

It is a Early 60's AR turntable. Amazingly simple but I like the sound and the look. Might consider a better cartridge in the near future for comparison.

The lower shelf PreAmp Receiver is the McIntosh MX110, tube pre amp which is running my Dynaco mono amps on the bottom. The top unit is the McIntosh MX112 SS pre Amp/Receiver which I use with the McIntosh 2100 Amplifier.

I saw the photos of your set up in your post. Looks very Nice!
 
Another thing I'm unfamiliar with. So each mono amp runs each speaker and the preamp controls the mono amps? Do you have another set of speakers with the other McIntosh setup? And I assume the MX112 SS has jumpers to remove to allow you to use the 2100 amp?
 
That is correct. Yes, I have three sets of Pioneer HPM-100's, one set of Bozak vintage speakers and a host of misc. ones. I went through the trial and error stage. The Klipschorns are the keepers.

Just played some Ten Years After and the sound is incredible.

At this time I don't have room for the McIntosh 2100 so it is sitting idle. But will be employed soon.
 
Well at 7:30 PM on Friday night I guess it's ok to keep the blood moving. Especially at my age. Good to be alive and kicking! Easy listening is later...
 
You're as young as you feel, right!

Sorry, forgot to answer the panel dimension question. I think you would probably be alright making them the same size (I'm anal?..) Mine were actually slightly different by an 1/8" or 1/4" maybe. If you look at the pictures, each speaker has a left and right panel due to the way they mount and fit. They have 45 degree miters on each vertical side to keep them flush and clean looking. I would think if you took the largest of all the measurements (if they're not the same) and used that, it will work fine. I ended up writing the serial number of the speaker and left and right on them so I can remove and reinstall. I think mine were 15 3/4 x 38 1/2 to the outside, then miter back from that. Have you worked out how you're going to attach them?
 
How right you are...Thanks for your info and measurements. Don't know just yet how I will be attaching the backing. Don't want to glue it, obviously would make removal a real pain and mess. Don't really want to put too many holes in the back either. I would like to maintain the integrity of the speaker housing/cabinet as original as possible. Not too many options though. So building an easy to remove false wall is still not out of the question. I don't really for-see moving the other speaker due to the construction of this room. Plus it fits perfectly into the corner.
 
You're right.... Attaching them at the back tailpiece is easy with brackets. I bought flat brackets and bent them to a 45 degree angle. Attaching them, or securing them to the side grilles or curtains is a bit more involved though.....that's why I attached the extra mitered piece. I guess you could just use brackets there too. You could mount them inside on the panel only and make them to just fit snugly against the grille? Then to attach the whole panel, it just has a friction fit to the grille first, then screw the bracket to the back? Maybe use 3 more flat brackets and bend them to a 45, then put one top, bottom and middle? I think it'll work.
