CECAA850 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 K-horns in the back. If you post pictures of the labels you'll get more detailed answers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Klipschorns (Khorns) are top-of-the-line and highly recommended. Just be aware the need to be placed in corners to get the full benefit of what they have to offer. We can help you with the age of the speakers if you can provide serial numbers from the label in the back, pictures will work just fine. The Khorns have been produced for 50 years and are still in production, so there is no way to look at the picture provided and figure out the year of manufacture. I realize you need to be discrete on posting prices on the forum. If you ask forum members for a Private Message some members can help you assess value.

mustang guy Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 The pictured Klipchorn looks like it is sitting in a false corner. This allows you to use the speaker without having it in a corner. The finish on the Khorn looks really nice... Both the Khorn and the Forte are easy to sell if you decide you don't want them in the future. A pair of Forte's in that shape should be about $500/pair. The Khorn could be anywhere from $1,500 to $2,800 depending on condition etc. At first glance, the Khorns look like they would be north of $2,000 at least. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woofers and Tweeters Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The Chorus are the same height as the bass bin of Khorn, and Forte aren't a lot shorter, so I agree that they might be Quartet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 BUY BUY BUY if they are not to much.....Those are good buys no matter what year they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) C collar will bring the value down some, the do look good tho It does look like a C, but the wood pattern looks like non-veneered birch raw, and I don't see a kick plate/strip. We need a pic of the tag, as everyone says. Are these a pair? We need both tags... Edit: the pic of a C model in HiFiLit.com shows a kick plate at the bottom of the front.: http://hifilit.com/Klipsch/1957k.jpg Edited June 25, 2016 by LarryC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) A Forte is 35 3/8 and a Quartet is 31 1/8. I think the K-Horn bass bin is just over 39. Now looking at the picture, I'll let you eyeball. BTW, I'm thinking that the OP was just sent a picture and that is why he didn't give more information.

jjptkd Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Looks like Quartet in front That is what I was thinking. Bill My impression as well, most likely a Quartet in Walnut finish. They were produced from 1989 through 1996 I believe? Looks like nice veneer on the K-horns too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
