Invidiosulus Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'm thinking about going into business making other company's old speaker designs. First up I'll be making some Hartsfields and perhaps a paragon or two. My new logo features my initials for easy brand recognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 LOLOL!!! JBL will of course sue you for a bazillion for trademark similarity violations. String them along for a while, then sell the business to them for a comfortable, if but princely sum, retire and take in the sun on the private beach you obtained with the proceeds. Don't make any speakers though, that way you will become a "legend"...LOL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted December 23, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 23, 2009 Think of all the money you could save not needing any of that pesky testing equipment or Engineers. If you need a second " manufacturing facility " ( it does sound better ) I have a pile of wood working tools, this could be the Southeastern division, sounding better already.

greg928gts Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Well... some of the greatest minds have already tried that. Tony Hi Tony, how are you doing? Hope you're feeling better. Nice to see you posting. What have they tried? I wish I could elaborate more, but I'm not able to say much anymore about what I'm working on due to conflicts. But to say that the greatest minds have already tried that, indicating that they failed to improve the Khorn design, is just not so. There are many improvements available for the Khorn.

Like improving the Khorn isn't possible? Greg Yeah......I was being a wise guy. But now I'll be serious. Other than being a fabulous craftsman which I give you great credit for.............I believe that's where you run into a tough climb..........I'm speaking of the other skills, experience, and equipment required to design, test, and produce world class audio products. You REALLY believe you can design an improved Khorn bass bin? I don't. In fact I don't believe you can design ANYTHING that would be a measureable improvement to ANYTHING that Paul Klipsch has already done. I'm saying by MEASUREMENT.......proven design improvements. Without the measurements, there is no proof. However, I do believe you have the hand talent, tools, and shop to build one heck of a nice speaker cabinet.

russ69 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 You know, making Paragons just might work. I would think there are a few well healed people that would like a nice console speaker. Old ones are so valuable a nice replica might be profitable. Thanx, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblio Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I wonder what the WAF of a Paragon is ? Might make a pretty cool LCR (phantom mode) portion of a HT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Reed Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I admit I'm a little biased on this subject. I knew Paul Klipsch. I know there are things available now that he didn't have. It's just that he worked on (and thought about) the Klipschorn for most of his life. He got it to where it's at by trying everything he could.

Without the measurements, there is no proof. However, I do believe you have the hand talent, tools, and shop to build one heck of a nice speaker cabinet. I don't have to design, test and measure speakers, there are people out there who can do it for me. Engineers can measure and test speakers endlessly and still not prove anything. In the end, the customer is going to sit down and listen to the system in their living room, and that's where the most important evaluation comes from. The proof that counts the most to me, is the incredible joy that my customers have experienced with the V-Trac/BMS/Beyma/ALK/Crites upgrade package. I don't need a test to understand that. I also don't need a test or measurements to comprehend an improvement to the Khorn bass bin from enclosing the backs. It would be obvious to anyone who heard them. Measurements wouldn't make it any more obvious, nor would it change the sound of the speaker. I do believe that making a denser Khorn bass bin with thicker materials will have a positive effect on the sound quality, as it does with virtually every other bass bin design. I will investigate other options for the Khorn bass bin design as well, but I'm resigned to the fact that other improvements may not be possible.

It would be obvious to anyone who heard them. Measurements wouldn't make it any more obvious, nor would it change the sound of the speaker. But Measurements would show what has changed..! and at a minimum if any balancing network changes were needed to maintain proper frequency balance of the system. IMHO it's just foolish to argue against properly implemented and analyzed measurements just as it would be foolish to not include listening test under controlled conditions in an acoustically balanced listening room. mike tn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
