Shodrewken Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) ***Update*** These have been SOLD! Thanks for looking! Hey fellas! Few months back I bought these from a guy in San Diego with hopes that I could make them work on the short wall in my living room. Unfortunately after giving them some decent listening time I don't think they are going to work out for me. They sit barely 12 feet apart from the corners in my living room, so the sweet spot falls about 3 feet in front the listening area, If I had a bigger room, this ad wouldn't be going up, believe me. With that being said, I have them on Craigslist for $2500, but here for the forum memebers I'll go down to $2200. I'm located in Long Beach in the 90808 area code. PM if interested. Thanks, Andrew Edited May 22, 2016 by Shodrewken 1 Quote

Fish Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Yes....way to close....very nice looking K's, good luck. Quote
Dr Morbius Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Too bad they can't make the mid and tweeter horn swivel inside the cabinet somehow for smaller rooms. 5 Quote
Woofers and Tweeters Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Shodrewken, Dr. M made me think of a thread Chis linked. In that thread, Max gave thanks to Davis for the idea about closing the backs...which is something I need to do to mine. Quote
JL Sargent Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 I think your setup would work a whole lot better if you would lose the coffee table! Then you could turn the Khorns more toward a reasonable listening distance. Still wouldn't be "prefect" but much better I suspect. Good luck with the sale. Quote
Schu Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Wth... now that I am not in the position to get them :facepalm: Quote
Shodrewken Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 Hey guys, thanks for the advice on placement and what not. I'm thinking for the time it would be better to let these ones go and buy another pair down the road when I have a better space for them. For now I guess I'll have to "settle" with my La Scalas. Schu I'll get some more pictures up later today. 1 Quote
Scrappydue Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Man if you were about 5-6 hours away from me id grab these in a heartbeat. Good luck with sale they are gorgeous. 1 Quote
prerich Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 You and fate have just convinced me that Khorns are not in my near future . My speakers are currently 7.5 - 8 ft apart (that's from the inside corner of one speaker to the inside corner of the other) - although they would be further apart than your set up, I now believe that my current Cornwalls are the perfect size for my room . So my K-horn lust is subsided.....but what to do about this La Scala thirst that's building up!!!? 1 Quote
ryanm84 Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) How about a partial trade for my cornwalls?? Edited May 17, 2016 by ryanm84 Quote
prerich Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 +1 for the Cornwall trades (not trading mine). That's actually a good ideal for your room - you'd get about 92% of the Khorn performance and they would be easier on placement. Quote

Schu I'll get some more pictures up later today. Just realized you had La Scalas!!! Ok you have all the high and mid performance of the Khorn along with its sensitivity. What you lack is it's bass performance - buy yourself a couple of subwoofers, tune those in, and you will have Khorn perfomance or better in your room. 1 Quote
