wvu80 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Cabs are a bit rough but they will clean up nicely with some sanding. They have the holy grail of mid-drivers, the solder lug dual phase plug K-55v. These ought to sound really good. Are these yours @EPICKLIPSCHFAN? Very fair price. I think these will go fast.

Cabs have issues as mentioned but majority of the scratches will sand out & look great with new lacquer. They do sound very good for 100% original. Yes, these are mine. I have another set of 1994 k-horns & the 1982's have much better upper mids & highs to my ears. Must be the mid driver & x-over differences between the 2, these 1982's sound very nice, both sets are just stuffed in way too small of a room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidmack Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 @Rivernuggets , these have your name all over them. What a deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks for the heads up, @tidmack. Jim's $950 plug and play (with upgrades) La Scalas have been screaming at me, and now these. Both sets are available WAY before I have started finishing our basement. Been trying to trim down the madness to make room to renovate. Why can't I have free unlimited storage.....somewhere within my house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 So these are pretty much plug and play? If I don't have correct corners would it even pay to go with Klipschorns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I don't have correct corners would it even pay to go with Klipschorns? IMO, yes. I had poor corners (beside a door on one side, a window on the other) and the front sound stage was tremendous. When I had to sell them per wife's orders I moved them to the center of the room so I could easily demo them for the new buyer and transfer them quickly to his truck. They were freaking unbelievable sounding when placed side-by-side a few feet apart, even better than my corners. So yes, Khorns even when not placed perfectly would be my preference. FYI the reason I had to get rid of the La Scala's was due to the same wifely request for the Khorns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those would be excellent speakers for you, especially because you know you are getting those very rare and highly desirable dual phase plug K-55v mid-drivers. You could get some Khorns because they would cost less initially then most Khorns of that vintage and when you get some time I think you would enjoy spending some time sanding and refinishing them. Those few blemishes would come out and the finished product would look pretty nice. If only you had somewhere to park them for a while you are moving.
