W27 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Nice pair of shorthorns. Don't see these often, not sure what they're worth.

opusk2k9 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 If they were both 1957, they should have: Stephen tru-sonic 103LX woofer, University SA-HF, and University 4401 So, I don't think they are both all original or maybe not the same year, because he has the electrovoice T35 tweeter. The stephens woofers are sought after and used to go for $500ea on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I don't think the grill frame is correct, from pictures of other '57 shorties on the forum. FWIW, my '59 pair has the same tweeters as these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Just noticed the price. Seems high. Mine were $700/pair and consecutive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I have a January 1958 model, that have the original configuration. I believe they switched parts later in the year. mungkiman, are yours the Stephens woofer? I think they switched to a different woofer around that same time too. Neither look exactly like mine (single), seen here: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/gallery/image/1171-shorthorn-chorus/ They did have a few different versions and some were mail order and some were factory assembled.
