baron167 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Hey all you Khorn owners, what are the components attached to your babies?Solid State here. Yamaha M series amps and same era pre’s. AR TT, Yamaha cassette and cdc units plus a tuner. Good recordings shine as poorly done are revealed. Double-edged sword I’ve grown to appreciate.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedcrankcammer Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I used to run Klipschorns, these days I have Seven Klipsch TSCMs, or the Pro Version of Klipschorns sold to movie Theatres and I run four old refurbished Nakamichi 2 channel Stereo Amplifiers, so solid state for me.

dubai2000 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Lateley either Transcendent Sound GG preamp (mostly) or Nakamichi CA-5 (first version) with TPA3255EVM or ICEpower 125ASX2. The rest of my gear (tubes) has been idle for quite some time now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsosdrummer Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I owned Klipschorns between 1978 and 1992 and used them between 1978 and 1985. During that time I ran them from the following amps: Yamaha CA-610II integrated (A good starter amp for the first few months.) Yamaha B2 (A wonderful sounding amp on K-horns: smooth and dynamic, but a bit 2-dimensional.) Luxman MB3045 (Very liquid sounding and very dynamic, not quite as smooth as the B2 but with excellent 3-dimensional soundstaging.) Nakamichi PA-7 (Sounded meh, but I worked for Nak and it was free. Plus, I couldn't afford to keep replacing the tubes in the MB3045s. They ran through a set every 9 months or so.) Nakamichi PA-7II (Noticeably less meh sounding, but still not up to the sound of the Luxman or Yamaha.) Electron Kinetics Eagle 2a* (Absolutely combined the best qualities of the B2 and the MB3045s: Incredible dynamics, smooth yet detailed from top to bottom, pinpoint 3D soundstaging and terrific deep bass performance.) I also had the opportunity to run the K-horns on an Electron Kinetics Eagle 7a for a weekend, and it seemed to add about an octave to the speakers' response below 40Hz. No sh*t — I heard super deep bass in recordings that simply didn't have anything that low when the speakers were run by any other amp — it was downright scary. By the time I returned that amp to the dealer the following Monday (I couldn't afford to buy it so I bought the Eagle 2a as an affordable compromise) my upstairs neighbor was ready to kill me. *Although I no longer own my Klipschorns (for the past 30+ years I've lived in homes that were a terrible match for Klipschorns) I do still own the Eagle 2a. It's running my 1980s-vintage Cornwalls as studio monitors in my recording studio. And it kicks their asses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
