khorn58

I thought of useing khorn as I have to perfexct corns in the back off my house... But dont have a set I want outside just yet. Nice thing about out side is you dont have the room acoutic problems

Boomac funny you should say Blue Sparkle Rogers set As I am seting up a 60,s Blue Sparkle Rogers set for recoding in my studio . I love the sound of this set with it small kick and real wood shells ect. Loooking on ebay for some missing parts seems like they have become collecter pieces. Born2rock your set up is cool. I love recoding drums somtimes I use 10 mics some time just one depens on the sound I am after. I still use a old vintage Akg d12 alot on the kicks as well as senn 421, RE 20, or a old tube LCD Sounddulex u189. The best part about recoding is palying back mixs direct of the borad to my Klipschorns before converting to red book cd .

Russ I sent my info. wow its amazing how this forum and its members work together.

I use some old beat up Pro lascala fiberglass covered cabnets for out side use in my back yard they are set up with stock drivers and crossovers. I just cover them at night and when it rains with a cover. been working fine for 3 years now. I just picked up a pair of the Pro hereys with the fiberglass covering think I'll use them as my camping set up.

Darn missed again I have been looking for 2 years for one k600 mid horn to complet my mint 67 cornwall. Anyone have a 600 lying around.

Cornwall from 60 to 68 Heresys from 58 up to 80

A match made in heaven Thrshold s/150 and khorns love it. anyone here try it.

I have three Old phase linear lying around. One a orig 700 was use as a pro bass bin power amp driving 4 EAW double 15 horn bass bins one one side the other side powerd the side fill moniters 4 15 with mid/high n horns.This one ran for years troulbel free. i use to unplug the speaker before shutting it down to miss the Phase linear fart.I did have it boxed with to high power box fans. the other a 400 was use to power the mids and highs. this alos last a long long time also with fans and alway at 8 oms of more never 4 . my last phase linear did time (about three three years ago with my 58 khorns not a bad sounding amp and it was not noisy. But this one was a near mint one bought on ebay never used pro. I have a crown psa2 wich replace the Phase 700 a very nice amp. still use it in the studio powering altec 604b. I buy a vintage Thrershold (mac killer)anyday over a Phase linear, now thats a real amp with warm detaild sound and priced somtime less than phase linear. Stiill the phase linear 700b is a cool looking beast the sound of live 70,s rocking roll. Just about evry good 70,s band use them.

we havwe a Hk (cant rember the model) hooked up to our den tv for speaker power. The power switch died 10 years ago and ir has been on since then. My wife bought it new in the 1980. still sound nice.

looks like they have been moded over the years and lost the cool rare early wood mid horn bummer. I think this horn was only made up to 53 when klipsch did away with the wood flares in side the horn.

The Yahmaha ns10 is in more studios than any other Moniter ever made. Its not that they sound great or one even like there sound but when mixing on them the mix transfer nicly to other speakers. If you can make it sound great on ns10 it will sound good anywere. The paper over the tweetes was is still used by alot of enginers to tame the high end. I think it was only a problem on the early ns10's. I still mix alot of stuff on ns10 as do many many others. My studio moniters are. Altec Big red, Altec 604c, klipschorns,yamaha ns10 with out kleanex,Adam sa-1, cheap computer speaker no name.

Dithering sucks the life out of the sound best not to dither.

Just check ant pro (recoding forum) and all the mastering enginers will say stay a 44.1 instead of 48 if going to cd. or use 88.2 as this convetrts way better than from 48.

If you are going to be burning cd best to stay in 44.1 as to much is messed up when converting from 48 to 41. It just to big a math converasion.

If you part the d out Id pay good $$$$ for that jensen 15 as i need one for a old khorn

This is a quate that for me prety much sums up why i like the old caps... "the oil filled units exhibit a velvety black background, rendering the transient response and harmonic integrity far more musically accurate. The lower treble harshness is eliminated, and the upper frequency harmonic structure becomes sweet and airy. The treble integrates imperceptibly with the midrange harmonic structure instead of standing out as a separate entity" These caps that 51 kilpsch used are the rare Western Electric caps.Many fell WE were never surpassed. Im sure somm of the late klipsch crossover may Need new caps as they are built like the We caps

I like the old wood /glass (pre 62)mid horn better than the later horns. I find the early low watt bass drivers react quicker then the later drivers. I think its not the magnet used but the lighter paper. My favorite crossover is the ones on the 51 khorn with the big pcb filled caps.

The Threshold amps I pick up are the s150. new in the 80s around 2500 Just like the one the music box had powering a set of khorns back in the 80s. I do rember the music box I drooled all over there Khorns for years. Only thing I ever bought from them is my trust old threshold fet 1 preamp It really has'nt been turned off since I bought it in the early eights.I maxed out my first credit card buying that .

I use Pris Esoniq pro recoding daw to recoded my anolog to digital. Thorens table with ininity arm ortofon cart to Threshold fet 1 preamp with nice phone gain stage to Paris 24 bit converters to paris 25 bit . I then burn both 24 bit cd to play back in paris through my klipschorns very nice high end sound way beter than cd. i also recode the same set up but in 16 for standard cds for the car or even the I[pod full res Aiff files.

In one word try THRESHOLD . Killer deals on ebay on the old built like tanks Status series. Very nice tight low end with a smooth mid range to die for. makes my 58 khorns smile. The music box the no none klipsch dealer in new england back in the day. Loved threshold and picked it over mac and levinson which they both sold.Mr Bell told me he like the sound of threshold over any of his old mac and Marantz amp back in the mid 90,s. Boy even Nakamichi back when they were king used Threshold status design fot there high end amps. Rember Vintage Threshold is all Pass designed. I just picked up two threshold amps on ebay cheap for around 600 each in mint condition.

Santa just sent me a 63 heresy and it a perfect match to the one I have it's one # off which means its the one that was sold new with mine. Thanks Tom
