Uploaded some sound files to get a sense of what these Khorns are capable of. They sound as realistic as being there with the band in person. Have a listen and enjoy!

One and only price drop for these absolutely mint flagship models
-
One would have to buy new ones to get them in any better condition, literally. These are mint!

I'm having great success with the JBL SDP-55. I think they're 8k compatible now since I've bought mine

- If there is just one person watching the movie, just the two Klipschorns in front would probably be O.K.
- If there is more than one person watching, you may need a center channel to anchor the dialog to the center as perceived from the side seats.
2 Klipschorns would not be ok. A processor requires a center channel if in a surround mode and I'm not interested in watching movies in stereo.

Try this for a center channel:

Why in the world would I try that center channel? You've obviously not read through the thread or the OP.

Up for sale are all the items I've listed in the title. Buyer to pay actual shipping and all Paypal fees. I prefer a local sale, though.
Emotiva XSP-1 Gen2...SOLD (I purchased this new and moved shortly after purchase. It was boxed up and only removed recently. It has little playing time on it. Remote control is included.)*
Emotiva XPA-3 Gen1...$575 + shipping + paypal fees (I purchased this last year as a manufacture refurb. I've used it flawlessly in my home theater till recently)
Emotiva XPA-2 Gen1...$575 + shipping + paypal fees (I purchased this last year the same time as the XPA-3. It was a manufacture refurb. It's worked flawlessly in my home theater till recently.)
Emotiva XPA-2 Gen2...SOLD (I purchased this new along with the XSP preamp. It has the same history as the preamp. Although, it was a used for a bit in my home theater till replaced.)*
Emotiva XPA-1 Gen1...$600 + shipping + paypal fees (I purchased this a year ago and have never used it. It works flawlessly. I will only sell with the other as a pair.)
Emotiva XPA-1 Gen1...$200 + shipping + paypal fees (I purchased this a year ago along with the other one at the same time. This one had a damaged toggle switch that switched between balanced and unbalanced. Amp lights up blue, no warning lights, but produces no sound. I've purchased a replacement switch that needs to be installed. Amp comes as is with new switch.)
*Comes with original packaging and manuals.
I think I made it sound as if everything isn't working correctly. Everything works perfectly other than the mono amp that I mentioned. I replaced everything with Jeff Rowland amps and preamp and so that's why I'm selling all this off.
I am located in the Memphis, TN area
Shipping weight is 84#'s
Shipping dimensions are 24"x24"x12"
My zip code is 38611
Do not ask me for shipping cost. You can calculate it from the information I've provided here. Nothing is free! -
My TV is already mounted to the wall with a mount that will allow the TV to be pulled away from the wall. Reason for that is because the wall is a 5' knee wall. The mount is as high as it can be.
I've decided to use a La Scala as a center channel. I'll have to remove the TV from the wall and use the TV base. I'll just sit the TV on top of the La Scala.
The Heresy has no comparison to any of the other Heritage line speakers. Heresy's are ok speakers, but not in my system. It's quite anemic.
Now I just have to find a La Scala

The Heresy just has a thinner sound than the Khorns. Heresy's are great sounding speakers, but when you try to compare them to the Khorn, they lack that fullness.
One thing that I keep changing my mind about taking these surrounds out is multi-channel listening is phenomenal.
-
Thanks Tom. I have done some tuning with them and the surrounds volume was turned down soon after I initially turned on the setup.
Coincidently, I have been contemplating moving my surrounds to other rooms of my house and getting some 'actual surround speakers'. I'm realizing just how little of signal the surrounds actually get.
-
I appreciate the advice. The laScala, even broken down, will not fit under the TV. I'm not putting anything over the TV.
-
I installed these Sunday and found they are more laid back than my original K-55M's. These along with the sMahl tweeters I installed basically ruined my Khorns. I'm returning them back to the original drivers.

You’ve got a nice collection of speakers there . Another solution to your problem , and it’s a little unusual, is to use 2 center channels, flanking your TV . This may sound strange but it actually works pretty well. You could test the idea with your Cornwalls or Chorus, you can run your centers in series if needed .It will give you a strong center image.
Thank you Tom05, you've given me a lot of food for thought.

What about reversing your layout , front stage to the window side ,cover the window, better off without it anyway . Tv over the Lascala,
There's a door to a bathroom in one of the corners on that side of the room. Also, the side surrounds would fall right into a door as well. It's really at the only layout I could do in this room.

The sidewalls my Khorns are located to are 17'9" in width. I haven't tried a phantom center with this setup, as it was suggested earlier that my front stage is too wide for that. I realize 2 channel listening isn't the same, but damn it has a center image that is amazing!
I can't raise my TV unless I put the stand mount on it and sit it on my, yet to be made, TV console.
I am in the process now of eliminating all my Emotiva amps. They work great, but just so big and heavy. I've recently heard Jeff Rowland amps and am now in the process of selling my future grand children to replace all my Emotiva gear. 2 Jeff Rowland 201 mono blocks arrived today to start the madness. I also found someone local to me that as an integrated that will work into the new setup and handle 2 more channels. Isn't home theater/2 channel listening fun!
With the smaller footprint amps, I can gain some room under the TV. I might possibly be able to DIY a chopped up La Scala into a center. Hmmm...

The struggle is real

Ok, so I don't like the Heresy I as a center channel. I have yet to run Dirac Live and properly tune the system, but movies with this center channel really seam a bit lackluster with the center channel content.
As suggested before, I wouldn't like it and should go for something like a La Scala. Well, as I stated before, my TV is the problem there, as well as all the equipment under the TV. TV is wall mounted at the highest possible point and the bottom of the TV is 29 1/2" from the floor.
What would blend better with the Khorns in m situation?

Works fine from my end. Anyone else having trouble?
