The Klipschorn

I have owned the older, "classic" Khorns from the late 60's or early 70's and I currently own the 2002 revision, in which the crossover and drivers were updated, including better wire. There is simply a "rightness' to them that few speakers can match. They are not perfect and can be beaten in any category by a number of great speakers, but taken on the whole, they just make music! I have never enjoyed my system more, and that's what really counts.

I feel the Klipschhorn is one of the best speakers, regardless of price. I had the pleasure of meeting Paul Klipsch in the mid 1980's. He was an innovative genius of speaker design. Very often people hear a vintage Klipsch speaker with less than ideal component matching. This is critical with any high sensitivity speaker, especially one that has 104db efficiency.
The speakers were designed to be placed in corners, hence the name cornerhorns. Call me insane but some day when I design my listening studio, it will be centered around the vintage Klipschorn.

It depends on what kind of music you are playing. If it's a symphony orchestra going full bore, a pair of Klipshorns will make your little monitors (that image so perfectly) sound like a toy.

Hey Eldartford.Full scale to be sure! But about the Jazz and blues lovers here. In the right room [read large] they can rock-out with the best of them. Dynamic as all get out with absolutely zero compression to boot!

Ecclectique...and there is nothing like a horn midrange/tweeter to reproduce a trumpet or trombone!
