Are they factory Klipschorns

[vmaxman61]

I recently aquired a pair. The tags have been removed, you could actually tell where they were on the back of the cabinets. The drivers and crossovers all Klipsch. Also have numbers stamped in the wood. The missing tags would confirm their authenticity for me. I'd appreciate some of the experts that could tell me other significant marks that might help me identify them as factory built K-horns. The front grills have a Klipsch decal also. I will try to get some pics soon, I'm sure you'd need them, as well as the driver model numbers. Thanks in advance

If you look at the tailboards you have SSN numbers stamped into the wood in the back of the speaker. You can figure out when they were made. If they have stamps they are authentic. I've had several heritage klipsch with no labels.

This may also help in regards to year, serials, finish, drivers, etc.

The Klipschorns have the following numbers stamped in to the back panel. 17U161 and 17U61. The LF drivers are K-33, the HF is K 77M, the mids are K55V, crossover type AA. I need help inserting photos. Thanks for the help

I need help inserting photos

When you reply to a post at the top click on the "Options" tab. Then click on the "Add/Update" button, from there search for the picture, doing it this way you will be able to post only one picture. After you found the picture make sure you scroll over and click the "Save" button, scroll all the way to the right in order to see it. After that just click the "Post" button and the picture should appear.

Those are doubtless factory Klipschorns haling from, IIRC, 1980.

What those numbers don't tell us is the veneer variety and the finish.

Have you listened? They'll sound fabulous.
