Finally reached a point where I'm going to order new AA crossovers for my 4 Khorns and wondering, what's the range of value of the original AA's? ALK will provide new crossovers (Super AA's) with the exchange of the old AA boards for $99.00 plus shipping. Anyway, it seems there must be some value to the old AA's if ALK wants them right? I'm wondering if there's actually a sales market for the old ones. Thanks, Tony

I'm intrigued. I'm so caught up in Khorns and Lascala's that I never noticed this design before. What is the diameter of the rear woofer? I'd really like to hear these one day.

VERY interested. PM Sent

Best deal I've seen in awhile. I'd be surprised if they last a day!

I was offered a very nice Marantz 8B tube amp for a very good deal although, I was told by the owner I will need to purchase tubes as some of them are not working. My questions are; Has anyone ever owned one of these? If so, what's your listening experience? With "quality" tubes, what would a person expect to pay for full replacements? Price range perhaps? Now I realize there's a great many different preferences on tubes. My problem is, I'm just diving into the tube arena and I haven't a clue of actual values yet. Thanks for any help

Interestingly enough, I just realized they're not sequential by just 3 digits. Oddly enough, they're signed 7 months apart from each other. Hmm, love to know the true story behind that one!

You'd need to correspond with the person who listed the ad back from back east. Just thought I'd put the ad out there after observing earlier. I wonder, is it true that only 48 pair were ever produced?

Klipschorn Shorthorn Corner Speakers From 1960! - electronics - by ... https://newlondon.craigslist.org/ele/d/klipschorn.../6615804428.html 12 hours ago ... Pair of wonderful Klipschorn Shorthorn corner speakers from 1960 in walnut cabinets. I had them connected to a same period McIntosh stereo ...

Whoa, I like those panels! Where did you obtain them? I especially like the difference in patterned design. Nice to the diversification instead of just bland flatness.

Okay thanks.

Were you able to get the testing completed on both Xovers yet? Thanks, Tony

I also like these ...

BTW, I'm guessing you'll need two per corner (16 each) on both speakers to give them that lift you need.

Yes, those are exactly what I use. I use the 2 x 2 but you can use the larger sizes if you like. They're all the same thickness so your really not gaining much by going larger. Also, that's a good price. That's about what I pay at my HVAC vendor. I also use them for compressors, spa's, or anything at all you want to use them for. Their primary usage in, once again, out door condensers. If you don't already have them on your outdoor AC unit, put one on each corner. You'll be surprised how it removes vibration noises.

Hello SDDP, I personally use what's called "isolator pads" for my subs. They're purchased at any HVAC supply house for a reasonable price. One of the most common usages within the HVAC world is to put underneath outdoor condensing units ... 4 each, 1 under each corner. Sounds to me that's exactly what you need! If you want to message me I can even help you by sending you some if you'd like.

"Moving equipment and speakers around to move connections over and over is an accident waiting to happen if you ask me though." I agree with this statement Muel. It's not the time and hassle I'm worried about as much as safety. I imagine a minor loss of sound quality is worth that accident waiting to happen. Thanks for your input!

Does anyone know what "going stick" means? Cause if it's a good thing, I've decided I wanna go stick too!

Okay thanks guys. I'm amazed at the affordability here! I figured at least 300 bucks.

I'm in need of a good quality Amplifier Switcher that I can use between amps. I have 2 twin tube (paired) amps, 1 older classic Marantz amp/receiver, and my good ol' Denon amp. It might be a god idea if it had the capacity to accept up to 6 amps as I am going to be testing different tube amps from time to time. I have 4 Khorns and I need something that will not compromise sound quality. Anyone with experienced advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

I previously mentioned a subcontractor of mine that installs the "TRUAUDIO SubTerrain" brand (mentioned above) in backyards. The luxury home market within my area are buying these things right and left! You're right, the guys in the area are buying 15's &18's for their backyard pool areas. According to my friend, he's installing (burying) up to four 18" subs in backyard areas. I'm still waiting for him to call me for the in person demo so I can hear it with my own ears. Can't wait. On a side note, I'm very true to Klipsch everything! Although, sometimes affordability factors into matters. I'll eventually have the opportunity to hear both TruAudio and Klipsch in ground subs.

Yeah, I kinda thought about that too. Since I live in a rather sandy area, I already fear the wind blowing sand into the chamber. Then again, I don't expect they're designed for wide open 5 acre areas. I'll have to ask my friend about the bugs and sand thing. No doubt there's some form of internal screen material within the riser pipe.

My friend (who introduced me to this today) is the leader within my area for high end theater sound systems. He pushes, and sells Klipsch A LOT! He claims this particular brand is the very best bang for your buck. Can't wait to hear the system he's currently finishing. Always wanted a great outdoor sound system. One that actually sounds ... decent. I can honestly say I've never heard an outdoor, buried in the ground sub.

Forgot to mention, this was a 12" subwoofer within the large direct burial cabinet.

Has anyone had experience with the Underground Subs? A friend & subcontractor of mine is installing these things within the high end, luxury homes' back yards. I looked at one of them today (before he buried it) and they're very simple in design. It was somewhat large and the landscaper had to dig a sizeable hole to accommodate it! About 2'x3'x 3' deep. The direct burial subwoofer cabinet certainly wasn't small! Has a thick plastic mushroom looking thing sticking out of the ground that the bass bellows out of.
