HDBR Concerning the construction of false corners.....Read another thread discussing the choice of plywood for a speaker enclosure, you recommended 3/4 birch...are you familar with Advantech.....a tongue & groove sub-flooring , very high resin 7/8 waferboard that is actually more dense and stiffer than any other 3/4 plywood. Would this be a good choice for false corners ?? Do you have a diagram for the corners ?? Can they be attached to the cabinets or just placed next to them ?? Should they extend past the diagonal of the K-horn to a projected line abeam the frontal edge of the cabinet ??

William F. Exactly, the window will recess for the approx the last 3 inches ( the front of the speaker)the reas will be married to a 3/4 in spruce wall , 6in studs , insulated very well with stone on the outside of the house. HDBR The room is not small.........40 X 40 with cathedral ceilings 34ft tall , hardwood floors , lots of glass and a stone fireplace 9ft wide and 34ft tall . I can build the false walls if needed , not a problem !! Thanks for all the input gang....keep it coming !! Really getting excited to get the house done to really listen to them, they are in a small room now 13 X 20 and sitting in front of each other with the nearest wall 4feet away !!!

Thanks HDBR , I know they are supposed to be in the corner , just wondered how much they will loose with onlt 3 inches on only one side not "married" to the wall . The rest will be against a wood 3/4 in thick spruce wall . In your opinion the ALK's do make a difference ?? Thanks gang for the expertise !!

HELP !! I have just recieved my " New " K-horns, they are 16u5xx serial numbers . I do not yet have them in the room they will be used and they are not in the corners of the room either. The Bass is not very " pronounced " with them in the middle of the room .....not in the corners...will this " fix " its self when they are in the corners ? Also, the corners where they will permanently reside do not have very long walls in the corners....the speakers have a length on the diagonal of 22inches ...the corners of the room each have one leg of 19inches ...with a window that will make up the remaining 3inches or so . will this be a terrible problem? I know they would sound "better" if a full wall was available....but will the difference be great ?? Would the crossovers being replaced be of value ?? they have the Type AA at this time . HELP !!!!!! Thanks for your expertise !!!

Just reading some of the topics...A comment about Onkyo being far below a NAD . I have an Onkyo M508 (220 w)with a P308 Pre Amp....will they push K-Horns or La Scala. I have always been very happy with this set-up...

I am trying to decide between the K-horns and the LaScala's. What's the difference to my ears ?? Have to place them in corners...Can I go wrong with one or the other ? They will be in a large room (40x40) VERY live...hardwood floors , wood walls , lots of glass , stone fireplace . HELP.....NEED some good advice and suggestions !!

Can anyone tell me how to determine the age of a set of Klipschorns from the serial #'s ? And what differences/improvements have been made since that year ?? What about woods/finishes available back then ?? I am looking for a set of speakers to place in a room 40' x 40' , hard wood floors, Tongue & groove wood walls , a great deal of glass, and a peak ceiling height of approx. 33 feet . Speakers will be placed in the corners,,,,,,Are Horns the best choice for a " Room full of sound " ??
