Guest Steven1963 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Something about a knockoff of such a fine speaker leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And why buy the knockoff when you can have the original for about 1/3 the price? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babadono Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Do you suppose the level controls were stock or Bob Crites mods as mentioned in ad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steven1963 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 the wood on the controls looks different than the speakers. My guess is the controls are a Crites addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prerich Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Those "knock-offs" have a direct link to PWK as they were made with his permission. The guy that designed them was a good friend of PWK. The owner actually has some genuine Khorns as well (sold some Walnut Belles a few months ago). I think because of the rarity and the documented history of this particular pair of speakers is why he's asking so much for them. Too rich for my blood, but they are beautiful!

Max2 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 We've been down this road before. I like the designs that differ at least some from the factory Klipsch models, but for a company to copy cat another mans exact line up and designs which he spent the majority of his life researching and improving upon is lame IMO.

Not much to actually design when you are copying straight across the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more into the taller, more slender look. Perhaps even drop them down to 118 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
