You are right in asking,,,beter ask than to make a mistake....some here have removed woofer door on K-Horns and pulled the wires out of the woofer,,,and if they would have asked first could have saved them some money,,,,so there are no stupid questions ,,,,if you dont know ,ask....someone will know ..rick

Klipschorn speaker for sale in Kansas City area
ricktate replied to DKAC's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
Well if there were two of them i would have been there with money in hand today...lol....just my luck real nice one, only one.You can be sure if it is bought by someone from forum it will be cared for like a baby...i will offer to go get it for someone if they need me to,,,it is not real close,,,,but i would go get it if asked,,,maybe gas money,,lol,,,,rick..you sure your mom and dad did not buy two,,,, -
I dont think sound much different...my stuff is in a closet hard to change out...plus the 730 i got has a balance problem...i did hook it to my Scalas though and it kicked butt....the main reason i leave the 430 hooked up is when i play movie or music real loud and friends are there and they ask how many watts it is i love the look on thier face when i say 24 watts..lol...But i would say you will be happy with 730 too...rick

Cover the squawker with a piece of cardboard to insure tweeter is working also...loosen and re-tighten all connections,,,simple things first always....rick

I would get an HK430 reciever,,,clean the controls,,,put grippers on the Scalas if they are on hard smooth floor,,,,and enjoy baby......rick

Those plastic pieces of dog doodoo sound better than a 165 pound K-Horn,,,,i dont think so...give me a break...Maybe if he didnt seal the K-Horns to the corner...on second thought i bet the K-Horns could beat them standing in the middle of the room hooked to a sony walkman,,,lol.....wude rick

overwhelming midrange from my cornwalls
ricktate replied to ramair455's topic in Technical/Restorations
A gripper is a furniture pad thing from walmart like 1-2 inches in diameter in hardware area...it hooks the speaker up to a smooth floor like yours,,,i put them on my LaScalas ans Cornwalls,,,the metal sliders are on there for factory ...they push the speakers around at the factory.....anyway,,,,,you will notice a lot better sound if you try them,,,put on one speaker first to confirm it ,,,,rick
