They definitely sound better loud than not loud. I think I'm going to like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirby Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Those look really nice. I saw those a few days ago, glad you got them. Could you play them on your boat dock, or is that against the rules? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezin' Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I picked up some new old vinyl. Time/Life Great Men of Music series. 16 volumes/64 records for $100 USD. Over 35 years old. Mostly unplayed and stored. Vivaldi is playing right now. Nice recordings so far. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 A pair of 396s. One is supposedly customized to be mounted horizontally (used as center) but there is no marking to indicate which one. The invoice noted one as "custom". Packing list calls out "horizontal horn need to be horizontal at the minimum IDEALLY basge on the grill needs to be horizontal and centered on the bottom". Typed as printed. Haven't de-boxed yet but both badges are centered on the vertical bottom as they are on normal 396s. So I unboxed them. No markings to identify the modified speaker. Flashlight thru grill ID'd the changed HF horn. Pulled off the grill and yes one has the horn mounted 90 degrees off under (or over) the port. The emblem will not be so easy to move as claimed. It is glued, not plastic riveted and there is foam glued to the inside of the grill which will have to be pulled back on one horizontal and one vertical edge and then re-glued which will be difficult to maintain straight edges without bunching. I am thinking that the center 396's horn should be mounted with the bottom of the HF in line with the bottom of the Jub's HF and the port at the bottom. Just tidbits for anyone considering using a 396 as a center. I do appreciate Klipsch taking the time to set up the mill to modify the motorboard. Is this STILL a KLIPSCH? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWL Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Yeah that's why it's in the cave.....but actually it's not quite as obnoxious looking in person as it is in most pics. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wetowne Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I waited two months for this and it was worth the wait. Sounds really really good with a pair of old Heresies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 These. 1800 delivered! The Otari is worth twice that (EBay) alone. Going to use them in my documentary to transfer assets. So, tax free as well. Life is GOOD! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
