From 1967:

I agree with this. I think Bill recommends it because people (like me) who can’t cut absolutely perfect joints can still successfully build an air-tight THT. If you have CNC cut stuff, Titebond is going to result in tighter joints and is fantastically strong.

Reminds me of a story. Grandpa was asking what to get Grandma for a wedding anniversary. “Get her a watch”, I said. He thought a while and said, “No, she has a clock on the stove”.

I can tell you that Bill Fitzmaurice recommends Loctite PL construction adhesive for the THT build precisely because it expands to fill cracks. Oh, I agree on the Titebond (III, anyway). I had to get a joint undone once and ended up destroying the wood, the joint was way stronger than the wood.

Me too. She’s great.

@metropolislakeoutfitters sells them. Maybe you could ask them.

That’s the THTLP. 6’ x 18” x n, where n is 24” to 36”, your choice. The wider the flatter. You can choose to fire out the end or out the front.

Gary Gillum? KG. Klipsch Gillum?

Thanks, they're a bit rough up close in areas, but I've had them several places already and they're getting some "character" now. The corner and edge trim is absolutely doing its job.

Smarketing? Markurity?

Yeah, I don't think those are Klipsch either.

Me too. Yeah, I saw that too and I'm not sure how it picks thread photos. I don't mind it, I guess.

They're done! Thread is here: ... and they sound fantastic!

You’re the second person to suggest that. I’m looking into a couple of avenues there.

Excellent post right here. Which is why i said there is no way to compare the two unless you have calibrated sources for both.

Mine were sisters of those, originally owned by the same guy. Mine had rounded corners too. I covered mine with trim.

This is that same corner, same Klipschorn, before the makeover: And now this The radio is a family heirloom. Built by my grandfather. The whiskey is too. That was the "medicinal whiskey" in the cabinet. When my parents passed away and my sisters were cleaning out the house, I had the presence to ask them to find it and save it for me. It had evaporated but I think it looks nice on the Klipschorn. Here's one of the ads. and here's another. and finally, my last two homemade La Scala HF section fronts. I kept one factory front as a router template, but I thought I'd sacrifice these two to the heavens.

on my listening room. It was my workshop out behind my house, and I gathered free 3' x 4' plywood scraps for the interior walls. Really rugged, but so disjointed that I couldn't paint or anything. Bright idea.... Add 1" x 4" pine boards stained walnut as wainscoting and use painted paneling as in-between wall, attached directly to the plywood. This only brought the wall out 1/8 inch or so in the panel area, and meant I didn't have to move the Klipschorns in the process. Here's what it looks like tonight. I embedded a 2' x 4' LED ceiling fixture ("troffer" is the term) into the wall, which is dimmable. I then put a vinyl stained glass cling onto the back of a piece of plexiglas and framed around it like a window. Those wall hangings are old Klipsch ads. What do you think?

I wonder if the can is included? https://www.ebay.com/itm/352708558605

For what it is worth, @Forte Too got cabinets from the same guy I got my La Scala Split project cabinets from. New life to four beat up, mistreated La Scala cabinets. Gotta love that!

I think it was Douglas Self that had an interesting theory about feedback from speakers back into the phono cartridge being part of the equation and maybe help explain why phonographs are desired by some.
