Alex L Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 The 70th Anniversary Klipschorn is a soul-stirring tribute to Paul W. Klipsch's original design. As the only speaker that has been in continuous production for 70 years, I don't think I need to go into more of it's history. It's the American original.

Ceptorman Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Very nice. I'll bet they'll sell fast. I really like the badge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckAb3 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 My kingdom for some good corners (and enough $ to pay for the speakers). Anyone know if the backs are enclosed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Anyone know if the backs are enclosed? From the brochure. The rear low-frequency horn has been enhanced and is fully enclosed, offering more placement versatility in the listening room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coleman Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 They are beautiful but not 16 grand beautiful. The price is ridiculous imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang guy Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 My kingdom for some good corners (and enough $ to pay for the speakers). Anyone know if the backs are enclosed? Man I hear ya. Lot's of rooms, but not a single one with two adequate corners. I have got to say that I am really impressed with these and the Heresy production.

kuisis Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Those badges are pretty close to the ones on my 54 and 56 Khorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom3 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 So what makes the bass horn "enhanced", besides the enclosed back? I notice the specs are still the same... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toomnymods Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) What makes these speakers so expensive? I've never heard them, so is it just the nostalgic "look and sound" of these that make them sought after? Or is the sound that much better than any new design they are currently producing?

ricktate Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I love that grill cloth is it possible to get it? Toomnymods;;;; The reason is they have enclosed backs which requires special construction,,,exotic wood veneer,,,70th ann.....special look....the regular K-Horns are at 12,000 now anyway.
