  Klipschorn-Klipsch-The Loft NYC
I am no audiophile expert - but i do care immeasurably for music and strive to present it in its most natural form within my dancespace. I am considering purchasing a pair of Khorns for use in a 10m square room - concrete floor and walls - the space is a dance space and high volume is essential...clarity taking precedence over bass extension.

I would be very grateful to anyone who could confirm that these are the same model Klipsch that David Mancuso & Alex Rosner used at the legendary 'Loft' in NYC during the 70s/80s.

I would also be very grateful to anyone willing to give me advice in terms of amplification: I am considering restoring a couple of giant Manley Monoblocs (i need to purchase the valves)

many thanks - Dominic (London)

They are the same but not very acurate, just loud. Listen to some EAW's, Bag End's, or Meyers speakers to compare. They are pro speakers but they are more smooth and flat the KHorns. May want to soften the room with sound treatment because all hard surfaces will make any speaker sound like crap in a shower stall.
