  1. Found some Khorns, selling my Belle's email me for any particular's. I will hopefully be picking up the Khorns on 4/5. AA Crossovers, K-55V Mids, wire replaced, spade lugs replaced with gold plated ones, horn damped w/dynamat. I am near Burlington, VT.

  3. No takers on $1000 Khorns or $400 La Scala's? Wow, I am suprised! Maybe I should post under the HT or 2CH sections of the forum. Belle's anyone, anyone.
  4. In the late 70's I had a friend with a full size van that had the top of the line Alpine cassette deck, feeding Zapco preamp/eq's and Zapco amplifiers connected to four Heresy's in the rear of the van one in each corner. It was the most incredible system I had heard back then. This was before the advent of subwoofers in car's but it certainly had bass and it was LOUD!! I also had a friend that took the lower seat cushions out of his Trans Am and had Heresy's in their place, in addition to the monsterous Cerwin Vega HED 6X9's (8 lb magnets on these babies with a dome tweeter)in the rear deck. His source unit was a portable Nakamichi cassette deck that was mounted above the center arm rest. Power was provided by a Fosgate (not Rockford Fosgate) PR-2100 which was 50W X 4. Let me tell you that setup was clean, clear and extremely loud as well. I myself for a time in Germany used a pair of Heresy's in the back seat of my Mercedes 240D powered by a Carver M240 Power amp with a Nakamichi TD-500 cassette deck and an Alpine 3015 Equalizer. So while Klipsch does not officially have car audio products I have seen Klipsch in cars and they sounded awesome.
  5. BBB don't let a future cab driver get under your skin. He does not even live in the USA and therefore is not entitled to an opinion. He is responding merely to irritate people, the truth is he does not know his a** from a hole in ground (sand). May the fleas from a 1000 camels infest his armpits.
  6. Why not move the center channel speaker on top of the TV, and put the component on the TV in the place where the center channel is now so that the dialogue is properly centered? Just a suggestion.
  7. WOW! What a transformation! Very nice work. Love the choice of stain looks really sharp.
  8. I already have a La Scala to use as a center channel, I think since it has the same horn as the La Scala it will actually be a better match than a single La Scala. No takers on the other Khorns or La Scala's he has? I have his email address that I can provide you. Anyone interested in my Belle's please contact me I think I will be asking $1500 for them. Email me for any details.
  9. I finally found myself a pair of Khorns - Yippee! They are from the 80's and in Oak. However, he has a pair of 70's birch raw Khorns that need a little work he said one has a scratch on the front and some delamination in the rear but he is asking $1000 for them and he has a rough pair of La Scala's for $400. I don't have all the details as of yet I am waiting for him to email me back. Once I do if anyone is interested in the 70's Khorns or the La Scala's I can put you in contact with him. He is location in Maine near the NH border I won't know more until I speak with him. Uh Oh! that means I will be selling my '80 Oak Clear Belle's w/cane grills as soon as I have the Khorns in my possession. I have attached a photo of one of my Belle's.
  10. God, I would love to have these Cornwalls! It is a shame they are so far away in KY. Hope that someone here on the BB picks them up.
  11. Hey Kain, your avatar does you justice a dark faceless shadow it would be nicer with a set of crosshairs on it.
  12. Kain, why don't you just stay in Pakistan when you go. If you don't like the country stay the hell out! 82 TCF Anywhere - Anytime - USAF!
  13. Unfortunately, there are other things that you need to consider. You can't just slap in any ole' 12" woofer and expect it to sound good. You need to obtain the Theile/Small parameters for the 12" driver from Klipsch so that you can find an alternate woofer that will perform in that particular enclosure. It is highly unlikely that you will find a perfect match. The KSW-12 is ported so the port may have to be modified to "tune" the enclosure for a different woofer. The woofer you choose would have to work with the internal cu. ft. volume of the enclosure and the port's tuning frequency. My be easier to just build your own sub, or sell the KSW-12 and purchase a bigger or different subwoofer. Good luck in your quest.
  14. Just copy the text, go to http://www.freetranslation.com set the parameter to German to English and violah - translation! I do it all the time for items from Germany, France, Austria or Spain.
  15. Go for it Gary, they are yours if you want them. Too far for me to want to drive.
  16. Hey Jhawk if you get hooked up with the OO Khorns I'd be interested in your Chorus II's or Forte II's if you plan on parting with them. I would use them for rears in place of my Heresy II's.
  17. The cane cloth looks much better in person than it does in a photograph. You'll find out soon enough m00n aren't the top portions of your Belle's done in cane? It sure looked like it in the photo. If I could figure an easy way to get these to me I would buy them and put them in place of my Heresies.
  18. Don't forget the $50 he wants to ship the thing, one too many hits off the ole' crack pipe me thinks.
  19. Also keep in mind that each time you "Y" out the LFE output you are losing signal strength. It is designed to feed a single input and when divided, signal output is divided and reduced by a 1/3.
  20. Bill, I believe he was selling one, not looking for one. This may even be his. He might not have got a response from anyone on the BB and posted it on Audiogon in hopes it would sell prior to going to eBay with it. $450-475 is steep! I realize at times they can go for that on eBay but it is still not a reasonable price for an Academy. I would consider $300 - $350 a little more within reason and closer to its actual value.
  21. Did someone on this BB get these Khorns? If so let us know. Thanks!
  22. In my continuing search for a pair of Khorns I came across this ad. Klipschorns in Oiled Oak for sale $1900. Here is the link. http://www.mytownads.com/colorado/boulder/household.html Hope someone hooks up, I need a pair in my area!
  23. Where are you located? Can you post a few photos? More info please!
  24. Well I guess I missed them, I called the number and was told they are sold! Damn, those were in my driving range. If someone is looking for Khorns in Ohio (I think) I have posted my Wanted to Buy ad link where a guy has a boxed pair for $2500, any takers? http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/wtb.pl?spkrfull&1050847597 See the last offer. Others want way too much. Anyone know of any other Khorns in the Northeast please let me know. Thanks! Any finish.
  25. I'll take them! If I do manage to be able to get these Khorns is anyone looking for a pair of 1980 Belle Klipsch in Oak Clear w/Cane Grills. Zip cord has been updated to 12GA monster cable on all drivers and tin spade lugs have been replaced with gold plated versions. Mid horn has been damped w/dynamat otherwise all original. I removed the small mounting block that resides under the top plate of the bass section when replacing the wire. I have the parts still. Beautiful speakers. You've got mail!
