emc Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 Given the design of Klipschorns, how much wall is actually necessary for them to work well? I have a 20ft x 12ft room where they would need to fit on the long side, while the right hand one would fit into the corner created by an archway. The length of wall available there (short length) would be around 4ft or so. Would this work? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 Four feet will work just fine. Mr. Paul's design for false corners are 4 feet horizontally from the corner to the outer edge. He uses a pair of those false corners in his house, now. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundog Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 If they are along the long wall you MAY need a center channel. Anyone with Khorns have experience with this configuration? ------------------ Soundog's HT Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Bey Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 I have about the same configuration, with a 19x16 room, the speakers against the 19' wall. The soundstage is HUGE, with little-girl-and-acoustic-guitar music sounding like the attack of the 50' woman. Sometimes I wonder about a center channel but the additional speaker, amp, preamp concerns etc. makes me put a cold compress on my forehead and then wait for the feeling to go away.

emc Posted February 14, 2002 Author Share Posted February 14, 2002 OOPS! I checked the length of that stub wall, and it's only 30inches, not 48. Any thoughts on how or what this might do to the reproduction? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Bey Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 the horns rely upon the walls to bounce mid range signals as well as the lf signals. You might hear a 'hole' in the mid reproduction for that side with the short wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emc Posted February 14, 2002 Author Share Posted February 14, 2002 Well, based upon this feedback, until I move, the K-horns would not be a good sonic fit for the living room. Thanks for the input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
