speaker lab k horn clones

They are on canuck audio sale site. Anyone know about these. Price is around 1000 dollars.

If they are factory built, then they are good if in good condition.  If built from plans elsewhere it is a gamble. 

 

I have a factory built pair and they are very well built. 

 

What do they look like?  What midrange driver and tweeter? 

 

Plan on changing the crossover to a Type A or similar.

I just saw them on the canuck stereo site. Not thinking of buying. Just I had never heard of speaker lab making a copy of the k horn.

Diz had four of them when he was younger...

I have written about the SK.  The price is almost reasonable in Canadian dollars if they are in very good condition with the EV tweeter, and close by to you.  I'm thinking about 800 CND is better.  But photos may tell.

 

There were a lot of variations. Some Speakerlab built and various levels of kit building.  

 

The bass bin is a good copy of the K-Horn bass.

 

There are problems with the two Speakerlab bass drivers.  PWK wrote on this.

 

I'm not sure that all their midrange drivers were the same Atlas ones which Klipsch used from time to time.

 

Speakerlab offered 1) their own somewhat cheap tweeter, 2) the EV T-35, and 3) the expensive EV T-350..

 

They had fiberglass and cast metal midrange horns over the years.

 

Overall, they are not clones by any means and somewhat cheap looking. Particularly cabinet work in the factory version.  OTOH, they have a lot in common with the Real McCoy.
