jimjimbo Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I just can't see myself never acquiring a pair of Khorns because I don't have a proper room configuration with the requisite corners.... I do have a large enough room, and everything else needed to power them, etc, etc, but would need to construct the false corners to accommodate those big boys. Are there significant sonic differences between "true" corners and false? Can you fine folks perhaps point me to a thread, or document that would help me out related to the construction? Thanks, I'm sure to have more questions along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I love the topic title. So dramatic! I can see the new working title for Episode 8 when Luke Skywalker uses the Force to train new Jedi in listening to John Williams music using a recently discovered Sith Artifact in Arkansas, the SithHorn without corners. "Star Wars, a False Hope." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max2 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Another way. Just one sheet of 3/4" plywood needed for both speakers, a little foam tape and four screws per panel. The screws are shot in to the vent support and tailboard supports as well, not into the speaker in any way so its totally reversible without anyone knowing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that basically the same as the 60th and 70th Anniversary Editions? They have enclosed backs as well. That's the plan for mine so I can toe them in or out, whichever makes them image better. Some friends tell me they actually image better toed out slightly. Mark Edited January 25, 2016 by ZEUS121996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My way you lose a few cycles on the low end, but its not noticeable unless its a movie or some very low bass. There is still some grey area when sticking K's in corners as far as how well they seal, the construction of the walls, etc. I couldn't go back to real corners without being able to toe them out. I really don't like the full on 45 degree toe in sound, it just puts the content way too far in front of my ears.

Get the Dope From Hope and build them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedcrankcammer Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Jim, If you have the room, why not do the Bass bin, just like on a TSCM Pro Khorn? Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBryan Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The false corners I built extended the bottom only slightly compared to having the Khorns wedged into the corners but it did tighten the bass quite noticeably - so much so that I had to lower the gain to the bass bin by approx. 20% to keep the overall response flat. Using FC's also enables slightest adjustments to toe-in and placement that allow me to fine tune the soundstage and image. That made the most significant improvement to the sound. I had pretty decent corners to begin with yet would recommend using false corners in all but the most 'perfect' rooms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
