khornn, Well said. There are a few here that beat this topic to death. they have driven a few folks off of this forum, because of the 'Jerry Springer' type rantings. Mostly anti-SET amps. They seem to use this forum for their own personal audio business advertising. From what I've seen here. when anything is posted about SET amps, these few will jump in and start knocking these amps. Have not seen the other way around. So you can see where the problem lays.

Now this is one of the funniest things I've seen!

i am gonna give you my scientific reason for preferring low power SET amps over anything else. Get Ready. Here it comes. One last chance. They sound better!

I don't think so. They are supposedly about 10 years old. Maybe early 90's vintage.

Is there anyway to tell the age of newer Khorns by their serial numbers? Serial number is 030395617

I've got a friend of mine with Altec 19's. He was just remarking how great the Klispch Chorus II's sounded. And he was blown away by the Khorns!

They're sold already. - I called the guy. - Went for $2500.

Well Yah, Tom - I'm already convinced of that. But, you really didn't answer my question.

Has anyone here upgraded from La Scalas or Belles to the Khorns and did not place the Khorns in proper corns immediately? If so, how did they work compared to the La Scalas? I will have to build some false corners eventually, but I was wondering if anyone tried the Khorns against a straight Wall and how they compared with the La Scalas. Better or Worse?

I had a Bel Canto Digital Amp on loan once and tried it out in my system. it sounded 'thin and veiled' and I was not impressed. Digital will not replace my tube amps. While I'm sure it would be listenable compared to a lot of solid state receivers, I see no competetion to fine tube amps.

The only thing that protrudes from the wall is the Oak Trim that is over the edge of the ledge of the window. The Protrusion of the trim is maybe only 1/2 inch from the wall. If the Khorn really needs to be 'sealed' against the wall, I'm surprised that most people here don't use weatherstripping between the speaker and the wall, as there are plenty of air gaps there I'm sure! I have attached a picture of a Khorn that came from an article by Paul Klipsch, which looks like it has more problems than what we are discussing here. It looks like there are a bunch of drapes or blinds behind one side of the speaker. - Are we talking 'real' differences here? Or are we talking Speaker cable differences here?

Larry, Thanks for your replies. Better than to decribe the corner that I talking about, I took a picture of it which is attached. What I have is a Corner with a window ledge taht starts 12 inches fron the corner. However, the Bottom surface of this ledge is exactly 39 inches off of the floor. So, it seems to be tall enough to me to seal the Bass Bin? Correct?

OK, Larry (or anyone else) since you are the dimension guru, I have another question. I believe that the Khorn Bass Bin is 39.5 inches tall. I am guessing that at there is maybe about 3/4 to 2 inches of framing on the top of this Bass Bin. So I am thinking that you may not need a wall that is 39.5 inches tall? - I am asking this specific question because I have a window ledge that is exactly 39 inches off the floor. So is this tall enough to accomodate the Khorn Bass Bin? - In other words what is the dimension of the highest open area of the Bass Bin to the Floor? Thanks

Where are you located?

I think you're right that it touches the wall 22 inches, but if you to draw a straight line from the corner to the edge of the speaker it might be around 33 inches. That is, some of the speaker protrudes out from the 22 inches. Correct?

Thanks, I think my answer is 33 inches. I am going to have to move my door. - Not what I wanted, but doable.

I know that the front part of a Khorn is 31.25 inches wide, but that sits at an angle. I have a wall on a side of a door way that is about 27 inches wide. What is the dimension of a Khorn from the back of the speaker (where it fits into a corner) to the edge of the speaker? - Thanks

I think most audiophiles that have built great 2 channel systems, gave up on surround sound the first time they heard it. To me it's mostly annoying. - It kinda reminds me of the 'reverb' thing that AM radio stations did in the early 60's. Everyone went WOW at first and then realized that it actually sounded worse! I'm waiting for 69 channel sound, before I finally take the jump

Do you have a link? I have no idea what todays Audio is.

"Get Khorns or Cornwalls unless you like the sound of your dentist's drill? " This is funny - Belles and La Scalas are both closer to Khorns than Cornwalls! Are you sure you have heard any of these speakers?

The Moondogs are still available. According to the seller GUY CHANGED HIS MIND!
