The Klipschorn


Hi, what do you think of the classic Klipschorns? To some these are da best sounding speakers regardless of price. So why spending $10,000 while you can get the most dynamic and lifelike sound for less money? Maybe you think I'm slowly becoming insane, but for the true audiophile technique doesn't matter, right? If only the sound is natural and lifelike.

I recently purchased a beautiful 86' set of K horns. I was bitten by the curiosity bug as I have read so much good and not so good comments on these. Well I must say they are an amazing speaker. The sound is so dynamic and smooth. I am using a Krell Kct preamp, Evo 202 CD player with a Krell Fpb-400cx amp with high grade cast cables. I tried them with some Primaluna tube Amps but I prefer solid state as the sound is much more dynamic to me. This is a good lesson to me as to not believe what you read and to actually try out a product if possible in your system to form your own opinion. That's what's nice about the used market you can buy and try it out then sell if you don't like it and not take a loss.
Old thread, but the Khorn lives on ! With a few updates and modifications, they can be world class. Join the Klipsch community and learn how to extract all that you can, even thought you are enjoying them now. (Enjoy ! MrD.
Good advice
buy them reasonably, in good shape, address any issues
make a good faith effort to adapt them to room ( or other way round w wing wall corner ) and then listen - make up own mind.....
exactly what I did w pair of Cornwall’s.....
awesome rockers !!!
