    Snort!

    Just for laughs; thank gawd I have no affiliation with this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-80S-KLIPSCH-KG3-PAIR-In-Great-Working-Condition-/191980754169
  2. You'd have to ask Klipsch engineers for that one. My understanding is that it's something to do with cabinet dimensions.
  3. It sure looks like it, based on pics of the rear. It's been boarded up in back, which was not uncommon then and I've seen similar done by the factory on newer models. The only thing that gives me pause is the front, where it looks like it has a traditional cone woofer. Game over if that's the case, clearly. For some reason I'm tempted to look since it's close and now I'm curious.
  4. Yeah, I now suspect it's an aftermarket thing for people who wanted to have some control over treble & bass. Here's the ad I'm looking at on Craigslist, curious if anyone has any thoughts: http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/ele/5917572033.html
  5. Actually in the end it turns out there was an issue in cabinet design, according to a Klipsch repair tech I know. My recollection is that Klipsch made made adjustments to the CF-1 and CF-2 cabinets on later releases, but the earlier runs still have that cabinet issue. I got a quote for modifying the cabinets to better work with the drivers, but in the end decided to sell them and set my sights a little higher. Not long after found a pair of Cornwalls with blown woofers and had the same speaker tech replace them with factory-spec cones. Best decision I made re: speakers.
  6. OK, I'll bite - why would that be? What don't you like about the 1964 Khorns vs. other years?
  7. Anyone have specs on the 1964 Khorn? Do they all have the funky tuning box on top?
  8. No affiliation - just confused and curious if this is anything other than a DIY effort: http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/ele/5894289886.html

  11. I know what you mean about sealed vs. ported, and specs do state certain things. That said, what you hear with your ears between the two is quite different. Beefier woofer magnet (2X as heavy) really packs a punch. There is no contest between HIPs and standard Heresies IMNSHO.
  12. Very glad to see the discussion this has generated. I've been mulling this in case a pair comes available in BC. Any thoughts how to get a Certificate of Origin? Does this apply to older items, and does a Made in U.S.A. label count for anything?
  13. No affiliation, but if you buy these please help me find a pair closer to home... http://www.kijiji.ca/v-electronics/gatineau/klipschorn-speakers/1215983926
  14. No affiliation. They look nice and that's a good price for a pair that will have plenty more bass than standard Heresies: http://littlerock.craigslist.org/ele/5831970094.html

  16. Thanks. Haven't scanned in a couple weeks, and you never know what comes up...
  17. I know KLF-30's are revered and supposedly great for Home Theater. How would they compare to Cornwalls?

  19. It looks to me like you don't have the full corner benefit of the cabinets, would you agree?
  20. Decorator Cornwalls are hard enough to look at, but these take the cake: http://www.ebay.com/itm/172400553759 No affiliation, you wouldn't catch me trying to sell these for $3k.
