texas42 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Up for sale are my ALK modded Walnut Khorns. These have extensive modifications to perform like no other Klipschorns I have ever owned or listened to. Well over $2k in mods to include: Beyma CP25 tweeters ($300); B&C DE85TN Midrange Drivers ($460); Eliptrac 400 mid horns ($525); 2 part crossovers with the ES5800 tweeter XO ($420) and the AP12-500 woofer XO ($350). This is all connected by pure silver internal wiring. The result is the cleanest, most dynamic and most musical Klipsch speakers I have ever owned or listened to. (I've owned, on multiple occasions at that, almost every Klipsch speaker model out there with the exclusion of the Jubilees. These out-perform them all, to include the Jubilees, in my opinion). Mods raise the efficiency to 107db. The 2" throat on the mid horns eliminate the horn shout that some find displeasing leaving you an extremely open airy speaker that actually images quite well! These have all the qualities I always loved about the Khorns (dynamics, etc), without any of the effects I did not like (horn ringing, limited imaging, etc). These Khorns have a serial number of either 3G039 or 36039 (see pic) which I believe places their vintage around 1969. I would rate them in good condition for their age. Speakers are available for audition and purchase in San Antonio, Texas area. These would probably be cost prohibitive to ship. Considering the cost of the mods, I am asking $3200, which I believe to be a bargain. I might consider a trade plus cash, depending on what you have. Email if interested. Addendum: I will also include the stock midrange and tweeter horns in my asking price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Hi Guy Are you sure you really want to sell those Bad Azz Ks? I admire the work/effort you have into these, when they are gone you gonna hate yourself. P.S. i think this is the first time iv ever said this: I do not think anyone minds what year these were made, improved is an understatement.

Gorm Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 If you happen to part your mods to go back to OEM, I would be interested. Let me know if you move this direction. I know how a lot of people like the OEM stuff when they buy speakers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_in_Norfolk Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hi texas42, I would just love to hear these and once I did I'd probably buy them from you. My wife is soooooo glad the Atlantic Ocean and more than half of the U.S. is between you and me! I can only echo minermark's sentiments. GLWS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texas42 Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Are there grills? I do have the grills. Right now the original drivers are mounted to them. I will include the original drivers in any sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, unfortunately I am having space issues with large speakers and need to sell at least 1-2 pairs. I also have a pair of Thiel CS5i's I am selling as well as some Mirage M1s and Large Magnepans as well. Might think of keeping the Khorns if the Thiels sell as they are on opposite ends of the spectrum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Dump the Magnepans, then rethink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
