Thanks for the help, I'm thinking the same.

Did you sell them without trying to get them modified by Bryston?

Did you ever solve your issue? I am using a 2BLP to power my mids and it makes a pretty loud noise when I turn it off. Bryston said I could sent it back for repair, but they couldn't guarantee that the noise would be completely gone. My amps are about 30 years old, so no warranty.

I'll have to research the green glue. I have rolls of thin lead that I could put between the layers, however I've heard good and bad things about doing that.

I'm running JBL E145 woofers now, but one is not as loud as the other and has 3.0 ohms DCR. I'm thinking it needs replacing. A used E145 is difficult to find, so I'm thinking of buying a pair of Eminence Kappa 15C, or Crites CW1526. I don't listen to modern music usually, mostly 70's stuff, so I don't really need the low end bass. Will I be disappointed with the Eminance? With the JBL woofers in the Khorn cabinets It seems like I have good bottom end because everything in the house vibrates, however it's missing the punch that my other JBL speakers have. The Khorns have backs on them made of 3/4" baltic birch, however they are in my basement which is a terrible room. I also think I'm going to add another layer of 1"baltic birch to the backs because they really vibrate.

I was doing research on building a wood horn, I think they are called a Yuichi horn. I still might do it, but it might be easier just to buy one. I don't mind making straight angled cuts, but I'm not sure if I can make a horn with all of its curves.

I've been using them for a while, I couldn't fit them in my living room, so they are in my basement for now. I built backs for them, but I have to brace it yet because it really vibrates. The sound is different that the Hartsfield. When I play the Klipschorn loud the whole house vibrates, not so much with the Hartsfield. However with certain songs the Hartsfield sounds like a cannon is going off in the room. My next change is to try a pair of JBL 2350 horns. I also got rid of the Wenge and went with Walnut.

Would you ship the big JBL's? I see a lot go on eBay, but nobody wants to ship these monsters. My zip would be 58265.

I thought the wenge wood was going to look a lot better, I hate dark brown. I think I'm going to redo the veneer with walnut or maple. Maybe I'll give it a couple of days and I will get used to it.

That was the article, it looks much bette in colour. They are coming along, but they were more work than I thought.

Thanks.

I just found another version of plans and it looks like they used 1/2" and the distance between them is 11".

Are they made from 1/2" or 3/4". I hate working with 1/2". Is the distance between the top and bottom 12"?

I was thinking of building a Jubilee, but I really wanted to build a Klipschorn. I remember reading a magazine in the mid 80's that had a test on the Klipschorn, and I always wanted a pair since.

Thank you, just what I was looking for. From the pictures that I have seen, the grill wrap around is more cosmetic than anything?
