fan4fan1 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Hi there, John again in Tennessee. I have an interesting "one-off" I need to find a new home for. I have a great home theater with Klipschorn's as fronts, Cornwalls as surrounds, and up to now I have tried many different speakers as a center. For the longest time I had a pair of Heresy's wired in parallel but they didn't really sound right either. Long story short, nothing really jelled with the K-Horn's and while this was going on my buddy in Michigan undertook building me a dedicated center channel speaker utilizing matching components to the K-Horn's. The center (or "top) was completed early last year and shipped down to me. I lost the bet about it being able to suffice without a bass cabinet. It was unuseable as you can imagine with just mid and tweet - even for vocals. But if you connect a LF driver in the mix it sounds awesome! So Matt (my best friend) was working toward building me a matching bass module and then I discovered a beautiful single Belle within driving distance (Hi Mick!). So I now have the perfect center between the big guys and I'm very happy. Though it pains me to do so, I am putting the "C-Horn" up for sale. It has all new components with the exception of the lightly used K-55M. A brand new AL-3 crossover was purchased from Crites last year for it and the K-77M, and K-401 are new as well. The cabinet is strikingly beautiful (notice the attention to detail) and matched to my K-Horn's perfectly (see pics). The measurements are 24 x 24 x 9 3/4" high. It's quite heavy as you can imagine and works perfectly, I just can no longer use it since I bought the Belle for center use, I thought about making it a rear "7th" channel but my rooms too small. The speaker works fine and when combined with a bass cab it will make a perfect center for somebody else, perhaps as a dedicated center to a pair of Belles, LaScala's, Corns, or a set of Klipschorns as I intended to do with it. This is your chance to own a gorgeous mini-center - all you have to do is build a matching La Scala style bass module. Or one possible option might be to buy a matching Klipsch 12" woofer and mount it in a basic "box" and hide it out of sight. Then the C-Horn could be mounted underneath your big-screen like most center channels are. The woofer would supply the missing low frequencies and it would sound fantastic! I have quite a bit invested in it up to this point what with all new parts, materials, and of course I paid Matt for his time (not enough I'm afraid). I would like to ask $350 for it to my fellow forum members and at that I will lose some money. Offering it here first but it will go on e-bay pretty soon so give me a shout if you think you would like it. Thanks! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOSValves Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Where is your friend located in Michigan? If he does cabinet work I might have some work for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdog Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 You talk about a partially complete LF section. Does this exist? Will you ship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan4fan1 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 The planned LF section never got past the planning stage. Found a single Belle and that was that (makes a perfect center between K-Horns). And yes I will ship at buyer's expense. Probably around $50 in the conus. Thanks for the question!

fan4fan1 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Well, I can't give this away. So I will build another one! Please see my other post as I am now looking for some duplicates of the drivers and squawker. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
