Khorn Placement "technical" data

[Chris A]

In this case, PWK's use of the term "flanking" = "on either side of the center loudspeaker"

Thank you, now reading makes good sense

The booklet I have specifically says the Cornwall can (or should?) be used as a center between Khorns

 

That was before Klipsch's later research that indicated that horn loading the bass as well in a center channel made for cleaner sounding bass.  This is somewhere in the Dope from Hope.  The DfH pointed out that the whole array tended to sound like its weakest element.  Therefore, they recommended fully horn loaded speakers, like the La Scala or the Belle Klipsch, between flanking Khorns.  Nowadays it might be 3 Klipsch Jubilees across the front, or, hey, live a little -- Jubilees as surround channels, as well.

In this context of price and performance, it's living a LOT!

I'll try it again ... How many people do you KNOW that have utilized 4 Khorns? 

 

I used four Speakerlab SKhorns.  Several people on this forum use 4 Khorns now, or have done so in the past.  If you've got the right space, it's not overkill.
