Well I did purchase them, the mystery is solved regarding the type, they started off in life as type kdfr's as that's all the original owner could afford, after purchasing he modified the cabinets to look like type B's and 40 years later refinished them in cherry veneer as the pictures above show, all the parts & drivers are original. currently I'm using a cheap chip amp with crappy speaker wire and they still sound impressive, the high end is a bit shrilly, not sure if its the amp or the old crossovers or maybe even the squaker. Glad i got em, & i appreciate all the feedback & comments, I'm in the middle of a trade for some pro audio gear so hopefully I'll have proper amps, preamps & such soon. The mcintosh Ma6100 integrated i thought i was gonna used needs work from sitting in storage so long.

and 1 more

heres another

thanks for that valuable info. he sounds very reasonable Im trying to get a picture posted they look good to me.

ive only seen pictures as the seller is 1.5 hours away from me, so im trying to do my research before i go see them & of course i'll audition them but with my mcintosh ma6100 which is what i plan to power them with, i figured i would replace the crossovers anyway i was more concerned with the 15" woofer or other parts that i'm not familiar with, never had any klipsch speakers so im excited about the prospect of owning a pair. thanks for the help...

ok, here goes, new to this forum & am considering purchasing a pair of klipschorn khorns Type KDFR SN 3J613, 3J614, from the original owner who bought them in 1971, he says they are internally all original but he recently refinished the cabinets in a cherry veneer they were originally the birch plywood finish it yourself cabinets. he has used a 25 watt heathkit amp to power them all these years. $1,500 is what i can buy them for. My question/s: 1. should i expect to update or replace anything internally? 2. what are the chances of hooking them up and having to do nothing but be blown away by the superb sound quality. i realize these are general questions but any input would be appreciated. thanks in advance.
