When I bought my Khorns from their original owner, he included a set of interesting documents... I thought I'd post them here one at a time as I get around to photographing them. I apologize if they do not belong here, but I think they will have some interest to some people. code

No one notable, mostly h.s. and college. I did have the privilege to study under Bret Kuhn, though. You might know of him, he was in the Cavaliers then taught for the Bluecoats. I just don't have the chops anymore. I have a pair of sticks at work (Bret Kuhn signature sticks, too!), and the armrest of one of my office chairs has decent bounce action and isn't loud at all, so when I'm thinking about a problem or when the mood just hits me, I try to keep up my hands as much as possible. Carolina Crown is awesome, well, they're all good. I catch DCI championships when they're on and I love it. Here's my submission for awesome drummer:

Just getting around to this post... I played in drum corps for 4 years, and I agree that he looks self-taught. I saw the comment about "25 rudiments", I always thought there were 26, though I probably can't name them anymore. That was 30 years ago. !!!(hard for me to believe)!!!

A couple of suggestions: Steven Wilson Porcupine Tree (Steven Wilson fronts this group too) If you're into "Psychedelic Space Rock", the band I most enjoy is Ozric Tentacles.

Sorry, brother. I lost my Dad in 2011 and still think about him almost every day. He taught me a lot. He was a Navy man, WWII and the Korean conflict, saw action in the Pacific. Came home, married, became a machinist, and raised 5 children. Died at age 83 and was still mentally all there even though he was nearly blind and couldn't walk well. Died in the home he built with his own two hands. Not too shabby. I know your loss, and you will get through this and be a stronger person on the other side. I don't know you, but if you need to talk, hit me up. I'm praying for you. code

I thought this was a good article and thought I'd share it: What it takes for an independent record store to survive now.

Thank you, Gary! I learn somethin' new every day! Mine are from 1968, so I'm not sure if they could have handled it or not with a steeper slope.

Earlier today I modified my Type A Khorn crossovers to support the 4500Hz CT-120 crossover point. I did it in such a way that I could nearly instantly A/B original/4500Hz by using a DPDT switch to introduce an additional 2uF capacitance in parallel with the 2uF tweeter cap and also a 500uH inductor into the squawker path. Note that you CANNOT perform this test while using the stock K77; as others have pointed out, it cannot handle the additional power supplied to it by the increased bandwidth. My listening choices were three very familiar tracks (to me, anyway) Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase. - Track 1 : First Regret / 3 Years Older Nidarosdomens jentekor & TrondheimSolistene - MAGNIFICAT - Track 4 : Et misericordia Nidarosdomens jentekor & TrondheimSolistene - MAGNIFICAT - Track 5: Fecit potentiam I can definitely hear a difference in the midrange when I A/B the mods. Quite a lot of the harshness in the midrange is greatly reduced. This is most apparent to me in the female vocals on Track 5 of MAGNIFICAT. I liked it so much that I listened to a few hours of Steely Dan, Ozric Tentacles, Bucky Pizzarelli, and Animals as Leaders... after which I stopped the A/B and made the mods more permanent. For those interested in the diagram, I can provide it as a PM on request.

Dope From Hope <- look here. The articles you want are volume 14 no. 4, volume 15 no 2, and volume 15 no 6. There may be others, I didn't look.

Thanks for posting this, this is a great thread.

Here they are.

We probably know a lot of people in common. Yep, definitely not an expert here. I learn something new every day.

Thanks for the welcome. I design hardware and software for things containing microcontrollers. Sometimes they have no user interface. Things like GPS/rubidium time references, spectrum analyzers, satellite locating & tracking systems, aircraft instrumentation, remote metering, microwave data links, solar chargers, wild game calls, cable boxes, etc... The joke used to be that people would ask me what I do and I would tell them, "You know when you can't set your time on your VCR? That's my fault".

Hello, I got the Khorn bug around 1987 when a friend got a pair from Flip's in St. Louis. Finances and space didn't allow me to purchase my own. Fast forward almost 30 years and I now own a pair, 1968 models. They are fantastic. I still don't have the proper room for them, but I'm getting there. I'm an embedded software engineer by trade, and no stranger to electronics in general. Anyone else in St. Louis? code

I'm working on a Tom Christiansen Modulus-86. Can't wait to hear how it sounds. Anyone familiar with that amp?

I did not ask, sorry.

Well, the top hats made it to their new home safely. the bass bins are getting moved in the morning. I ran a signal generator into the crossover and believe it or not, I have working mids and tweeters. Can't wait to get them totally assembled and placed. I will definitely re-cap the crossovers, and I might even swap out the tweeters to see how the new ones sound. The woofers I don't know much about until later. The original owner tried to interest me in his HH Scott amp he built (he thinks) in the early 60's. I had to turn him down. For one, it is built into a cabinet and is huge, and two, my wife would kill me (again). If anyone is interested in the continuing saga of the Khorns, I'll keep this thread going.

I'm going to start with class d because that's what I have available. I'd love to move to a nice small tube amp but my bank account has to recover first.

So it looks like these are 1968 models, not 1967.

This seems to indicate 1967: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=86357 While this one seems to indicate 1968: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=107148 Which one is correct?

I plan on proceeding in a methodical manner as suggested. I want to hear them in their new home first, then I will recap, then listen again. I had had to gamble with having replacement components and make sure I can stun my wife with them, she has to feel good about the purchase because she hates that they are so large. If they were broken too I'd be in hot water. I can always sell the extra parts. question: why is the PWK logo in a different place on that 1974 photo?

Thanks for the welcome, folks! Well? I think they're beautiful! They are not in the corners in these pics, as you can see
