deafbykhorns Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 These were well worth the wait, I've always wanted to build a pair but didn't have the resources (or the measurements). Built 3 pairs of LaScala's back in the early 80's but didn't have access to trachorns, ALK's, V-tracs or K400's since Klipsch would not sell these parts. Had to settle with horns that had higher cutoffs unless you could find some altecs. Did you use 3/4" or stick to the original design?

If it was all 3/4" it would be too heavy and it would not resonate right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Matthews Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 That is definitely first-class! All I can say is "Wow!" Just out of curioisyt, but how much $$$$ in materials and parts do you have in those WrenchHorns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapZark Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hey Wrench: Klipsch called and wanted to know if you needed a job since you build them better than they do! Outstanding - start your own business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
