picky Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Jim Hunter was good enough to open the front of this corner speaker to reveal the inside of one of PWK's most experimented-with designs. The components look like they truly deserve to be museum pieces. Beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSamuel Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Thank you so much, Mary! Yes thank you. How often anymore do you see a product that identifies who built it? Not very often I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 This Klipschorn is among Jim Hunter's favorite items: It's very special because it was part of a pair of K-Horns that PWK gifted to Arthur Fiedler, famed Conductor of the Boston Pops and his wife. They were custom-painted grey to match decor in their master bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
