I have recently been tinkering with low-power class A tube amps. My favorite is a 2A3 design from Doc Bottlehead. I currently use a pair of 1988 Fortes (slightly modified) but I would like to try something different. One friend suggested k-horns but I really don't have corners available. Can you use k-horns in a non-corner set-up? A guy close to my home (2 hours) has a pair for sell but I need to know about the set-up. Also what do you think about the sound from a folded bass horn vs. traditional woofers?
By the way, my system is for music only. It consists of
1)Denon DCD-S10 cd with both fixed and variable output. I prefer the variable output with no pre-amp.
2)Building a modified Bottlehead Foreplay pre-amp. Have no idea how this will sound. Reviews have been good..
3)Home built 2A3 monoblocks from Bottlehead Corp.
4)1988 Klipsch Forte speakers.

I have a pair of walnut Fortes that I would be willing to sell. The cabinets are in perfect condition. I have made two modifications: 1)applied some damping material around the tweeter and mid-range horns, and 2)changed the hook-up wire to a high grade copper.
Have not really thought about a price. If you want a picture send me a e-mail

I am looking for a pair of used LaScalas. Don't really care about the condition; I will refurbish if necessary.
K-horn question
in Technical/Restorations
Posted
I have just purchased a pair of 1984 K-horns (Hallelujah!!). I also have a pair of 1988 Forte 1s that I will keep. Would like to have detailed information regarding each speaker. Here are my questions:
1. Are detailed crossover schematics available?
2. Are there modified crossover designs available?
3. Can I get working design drawings and speaker specifications?
The K-horns will be for music only. Fortes will probably be Front AV speakers. Thanks for the assistance.
