    @EarsOnly  Hey Mike!  Yes, it's me...Kip.  Some here know my name and I'm not worried if it gets said....I don't have too many things following me.  haha.  Thanks for the compliment on the Belle's.  They were definitely a labor of love.  I'm contemplating building some Khorn cabinets off of the Speakerlab plans maybe after we're in the new house somewhere down the road.  I don't want to pay the going rate for a used pair and I kick myself for selling the Klipschorns I had 10 years ago.  Oh well.  I would have all the parts, except the K-400 horns if I ever got the wild hair.

     

    Yes, I did come there with Tony one time years ago.  I remember us switching all kinds of stuff around in the living room to listen to various things.  

    Hi Kip. Glad that was you.  I made about 6 Belle clones before.  All of them sounded great.  I still love my Klipschorns and my center channel Belle.  I made some Speakerlab K's in 1987 and they sounded just like real K-horns. Of course I used quality drivers and made my own crossover.  It can be done.  I'm thinking about replacing my Mcintosh XR19's with LaScalas to then have an all horn loaded home theater.  I hope you get a wild hair soon. Lol

    Hello Avguytx. Are you Tony Candela's friend. I know your name if you are, but for privacy sake won't mention it

    here.  I like the Belle clones you made. Very nice indeed.  I think that you even came to my house once.

    Happiness always.

  3. I am selling a set of Klipsch Epic CF-3 version 1. They are the Black Satin version. The bothersome

    plastic feet are  not complete, but I have modified the spikes and fastened some new feet that are level,

    strong and look nice. The Klipsch emblems are missing. The drivers are all original and sound as

    they should Very light scratches on cabinets and they offer a handsome appearance.  Price is $600.00

    firm. You may purchase a brand new Klipsch K-1030-KN replacement woofer for an extra $165.00.

    I live in Cabot, AR.

  4. It seems that there are hurt feelings flying all over the place concerning the crossover

    issue. I do agree that there are measurements and THEN there are more measurements!

    I think that the final judge should be how the speaker sounds. I have some very fine

    Yamaha NS-1000's. Drive them with a nice amplifier and I think that many will agree

    that they are quite nice and accurate sounding. I also have 2 sets of Klipschorns. One

    evening I decided to settle down for some really serious listening. I put something of every

    kind of format. I was really expecting the Klipschorns (AK-3's) to really get trounced by

    the Perfectly accurate NS-1000's with the Beryllium Drivers. Well guess what? The

    Klipschorns sounded quite accurate as compared to the NS-1000's. I did this to simply

    see just how accurate the Klipschorns were. I have had so much high end gear and I

    know what I like. My point is, as a measured system, Klipsch is clearly in the mix with

    the so called Icons. I once had a drummer come over and auditioned an amplifier

    I was going to sell him. He heard the Klipschorns and couldn't believe the accuracy

    of the percussion. My hat is off to the engineers at Klipsch for being able to compete

    with some of the other very fine accurate measuring speakers. They sound very

    good and measure very good. My Klipschorns might not measure so great, but they

    sound very accurate. I hope that everyone can get back to the bliss of the music

    and leave the graphs and scopes at work and not bring them home. Happiness to

    all. EarsOnly

  5. Thank you for bringing your children with you. They were a joy to be around.

    They were already asking the right questions and it showed how intelligent

    they are. I really liked the way one of your sons said, "Oohh" when Mark

    stopped playing a demo in the sound room. As a father of seven myself,

    I could very well appreciate what a fine father you are to your children. We

    had a blast and it was a pleasure to have met all of you. Happiness always,

    Bill and Bette and Jesse

  6. Wow, what a great Pilgrimage! Thanks to Me Loves Klipschorns for

    giving people a chance to hear them unchained. Thanks to Dtel and

    Dtel's wife for all the fun. Congrats on the Cornwall iii"s. A Giant thanks

    to Amy, Trey, Steve,Jim and Mark and Joy! It surely is a FAMILY event

    at Klipsch. The whole thing was a lifetime event. We arrived home safe

    and turned on the K-horns and jammed. Maybe someone will get a shot

    at the 60th anniversary Klipschorns. Kudos to the people that traveled

    from so far away. Happiness to all and may GOD Bless.
