K85Horn

I mean, I hope someone from the forum who has dreamed of owning Klipschahorns grabs them and gets to enjoy them like I enjoy my 1985 K-horns.

I paid twice that for my 1985 K-Horns! I hope someone from the forum grabs those gems.

My 1985 K-horns have the same "L/F" on the serial number tags. I believe it stands for the low frequency bin section of the K-Horn. The top half will have "H/F". I hope someone on the forum buys those speakers - they look like a great deal.

On Canuck Audio Mart, an audio dealer is listing a set of 1984 near mint Klipschahorns for sale for $2800 by the wife of his friend who passed away; http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649089543-klipschorns_near_mint/

I am surprised these have not sold for his asking price of $2000 CAD and the new ad is listed on October 15, 2013; http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649066321-klispch_horns_date_circa_1972_sequential_set/

These Klipsch Bass Korner Horns look very interesting, however, the seller won't ship; http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649082853-klipsch_bass_korner_horns_kustom

I am after a set of grill assemblies for my 1985 Klipschorns. I have checked with the various people who make after market wood horns and have not been able to find a set. I will consider buying a custom made set (with the holes drilled for the original K-55-V/K-77 drivers) if someone is able to build these. I am in Ontario, Canada.

You have another PM.

This K33E woofer is still for sale and I am open to an even trade for one Type A or Type AA crossover.

My 1985 K-horns only had serial numbers on the low frequency bins and they were 2 numbers apart. I could not find any serial numbers on the top sections. The low frequency bins and top sections seem to all match up otherwise. From what I read on the Klipsch forums, K-horns made in the mid 1970's are desirable.

I recently bought some 1985 Klipschorns locally and if these 1972 were available, I would have bought them instead; http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649066321-klispch_horns_date_circa_1972_sequential_set/ I keep going back and looking at the ad wishing I had a bigger house so that I could buy the 1972's and sell my 1985's!

Thanks to all that responded - I now have a set of Type AA Crossovers and K-77 Tweeters on the way!

I searched a bit after my post in the forum and found schematics in a zip file of the Type A & Type AA networks. You are right - the Type AA has tweeter protection while the squawker/woofer sections look identical between the A & AA. This should make it a simple task to try out each of the types to hear which ones I prefer. Thanks for the information.

I bought a set of 1985 Klipschorns and the original crossovers were updated with aftermarket units. These aftermarket crossovers sound fine and that being said, I would like to try a set of Type A Klipsch crossovers and a set of Type AA Klipsch crossovers to experience Paul Klipsch's "take" on the Klipschorn! My questions are; 1) I have an official Type A schematic but it does not show the model of drivers - my current drivers are Crites CW1526, K-55M and K-77's - does anyone know what "official" drivers are meant to work with the Type A crossover? 2) Is there an "official" schematic of the Type AA available? I want to compare crossover parts of a Type A crossover with a Type AA crossover. I have a used Type AA crossover on the way and am wondering if I can easily convert it to a Type A. Thank you for any information. Greg

Here is a picture of the K33E I am selling in a proper shipping box.

I have a seller pending for the crossovers and am still looking for two K-77 tweeters of the same type.

If anyone has upgraded their Klipschorn crossovers/tweeters, I will buy you original Klipschorn Type AA crossovers and K-77 tweeters. I am open to buying some K-77 with bad diaphragms priced accordingly.

I have already ordered a set of the cast iron frame Crites woofers. I am going to throw in this woofer for free with the round magnet K33E woofer that I have listed in the garage sale section. It will be great to get any information on the woofer as there are no markings.

The speaker is still mounted in my K-Horn. The replacement Crites woofers are on their way and I will have updated pictures for any interested buyer.

I bought a set of 1985 Klipschorns and while checking them for any issues before putting them into my installation, I found out that one of the woofers is different than the specified round magnet K33 E. The different woofer has no markings, as per the picture and measures 6.7 ohms vs the other woofer which is a round magnet K33 E which measures correctly at 3.7 ohms. I have ordered a set of Crite replacement woofers and just am curious as to what the previous owner(s) put into the one bass bin. Thank you for any information.

I just bought a set of very good condition 1985 Klipschorns and their woofers do not match - I have order a pair of Crties CW1526 woofers for them. Thus, I have one round magnet K33E woofer for sale and can throw in the other unknown speaker for free (it has no markings and measures 6.7 ohms). The K33E is still in the cabinet and works properly - the resistance measures 3.7 ohms with my Fluke 1987 multimeter. I can supply detailed pictures if there is any interest. My asking price is $80 and if my asking price is met, I can throw in the other speaker. I live near Toronto in Ontario, Canada. Shipping may be a possibility and of course, shipping will be extra.
