I've heard the vitavox and the E-JMLC-300 with electromagnetic drivers

CS? Sry, Frankfurt Main (Germany)

what do you mean with "better"?

I want some E-JMLC-300 🥰

to be frank: I plan to remove the horns and change them into a LeCleac'h combined with a new crossover and an autotrafo ...

sry, it's aluminium alloy. just looks like my old cast iron pans and pots:)

The horns are made of cast iron ... The rest is just pitch black. That's it.

Hi everyone, last Friday I picked up the corner horns and removed the RF7I. 🙏

I spoke with several professional carpenters and conducted extensive research about wood and its attributes. Now, I believe that buying old pieces is the best option in terms of quality, cost, and time. So the question for me is if Klipsch change the cabinet in the time from 1977 and 1974?

Hello everyone, unfortunately, I have to realize that it's not easy to find a carpenter who can manufacture the necessary parts in a CNC machine for me. Additionally, I discovered that Klipsch, especially in the earlier years under Paul, even used bone glue to ensure good sound transmission within the enclosure. A rigid and vibration-free cabinet was not the goal. Given all this information, I believe it's more reasonable to buy a few original pieces. I don't think it's possible to achieve this standard with a DIY for me! Now, there are two corner horns offered as a pair. However, they don't have matching serial numbers, with one from 1977 and the other from 1974. Do you think this is a problem? I'm planning to replace the drivers and the horn anyway. Thany you very much 🙃

Ok, I will build my one. I think this is the best and more cohesive way to go for me 🙏

Did Klipsch use birch wood because it was cheap and lightweight or because it yielded the best acoustic results? Or does any other stiff wood do the job as well?

Does anyone know if solid wood has ever been used for the Khorn?

Hello, thank you for all this information. I'm into crafting, but I think it will take a lot of time to get an acceptable pair of Khorns! I now my limits : ) Maybe I will find a "shortcut" of a pair old KHorns.

Hello everyone, I'm currently planning a new Hi-Fi project. The basic idea is to modify or optimize a Klipschhorn using old JBL and Altec drivers. For that, I'm currently looking for the optimal bass enclosure. Here in Germany, there are very high-quality 1:1 replicas of the Klipsch corner horn made of birch/beech multiplex, which can be used for this purpose. Alternatively, I could use an original Klipsch horn. Now I'm wondering if that even makes a difference? Thank you very much, and best regards!

Hello everyone, thank you for your information. Do I understand correctly that it doesn't actually matter about the wood?

Hello, I would like to know what type of wood was used for the Klipsch Cornerhorns in the 1970s or for the Cornerhorn AK2? Were special boards made of tonewood used, or was it more common blockboard/ plywood or birch birch multiplex? Thank you for your help and support.
