Somebody put some time into them but yea they could of lined up the veneers better. Maybe they were working off i sheet instead of 2. Veneers can get really pricey. But to veneer the horns etc? You try it if you think its easy

Maybe it has to do with different Mid-Horn lens on the Belles or that the horizontal center-line of both the tweeter and the mid horn lens are lower to the floor, than on the K-horns??? Or a combination of the two? These speakers have many other differences, also...bass horn designs, crossover networks, bottom-end extension, and a few more!
Yea there's a big difference from the hieght and placement. Belles sure are forgiving to placement for sure

Good point!!
Just bought a pr of 70's. I know this sounds wierd but I'm still on the fence on the sound. After 20 watts the khorns (NOT SCHORNS!!) Blow my belles away. I'm thinking i need a bigger room

I have the 70th KHorns and they are in my rooms corners pretty tight and tucked in but not as tight as I could get them since I have my heating baseboards running along the bottom of the wall.
Thanks to the closed backs this was not an issue and the bass extension is simply awesome. It goes all the down to 35hz, It's articulate, tight, detailed and fast. Everything you want and nothing is missing or feels compromised.
A big reason why I went with the 70s since they only need to be in the vicinity of a corner and not perfectly wedged in like the original open back design KHorn.
I have seen the same type of modded older KHorns with the backs added on eBay like the OP said and have always wondered myself how they sound compared to a 70 or AK6.

Kinda funny i like the sound of my belles better than my schorns but the room is only 12 × 17. The sound just "flows" better? However getting new schorns w/backs so we'll see but im thinking room is still too small.

Love the klipsh and album concept people of my own heart. Add a little Macintosh classic albums ahh.

I got an owner information packet with my schorns an in there qoute "if the corner is irregular use flaps of rubber floor runner on tail board" then they show a picture attaching 5" flaps top to bottom on the tail board. Maybe this would help with irregular stonework.

Was it really that easy? the new Khorns have backs which allows non-tight corner placement. And I currently see 2 pair of Khorns on eBay with backs added to them. I've been absent for about 8-9 years but I never recalled people saying you could put backs on the Khorns for more flexible placement. There was always a lot of talk of "false wall" building but I don't recall anybody EVER mentioning you could close in the backs to give you more flexibility in corner placement. Is this a new phenomenon? I'm in the market for a pair and was considering ordering a new pair from Klipsch. But I also see a couple of nice used pairs on eBay with modified backs on them. I don't recall ever seeing that back in the 90's and 2000's.

I've seen these go between $2-3k. Given their condition, I think $2700 is a fair price. If you'd like to see some high res images I can email them over.
