Price and finish notwithstanding, if you can afford them and have the room for them, you should definitely get them. Or if not that pair, another pair. You will NOT be disappointed.

Maximus89 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Everyone's home décor is different. A lot of those really exotic veneers look ugly to ME and while others are gorgeous craftsmanship like Greg from Volti Audio's restorations, how many homes would they actually look good in? I could imagine them looking awesome in a perfect room you'd see in a photo shoot set up to look like some millionaires home, but in an every day suburban or traditionally furnished home, they'd be an eye sore IMO. While Oak is my least favorite unless it's black, those oak KHorns look really nice and match my floors so i'm sure it would look good in my home. Just wouldn't be down with the price. Honestly, Klipschorns are pretty ugly anyway compared to La Scalas IMO. Only the latest Klipschorn models look beautiful with the more natural looking walnut, or the cherry, or black ash all looking very modern. I think of older KHorns in the same way I think of old kitchen cabinets lol. They just look so boring and out dated and cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never sure if that name was for the whole speaker or just the Klipsch horn driver, which I now know is key to both the Klipschorn and La Scalas. Different models, etc. Like I said this is an expensive addiction. I considered myself "wealthy" in 2017 but I put most of my spendable inheritance into my house with a few luxuries for myself like my La Scalas, but these or any other Klipschorns would be kinda over the top for me. Oh but what a wonderful luxury they are!!! :-) John Kuthe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather have black painted cabinets than oak and, if the price were "really good" and they were oak, they'd either get new veneer or a coat of black paint. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would cost a lot to get all matched up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh HECK YES it's FUN! Can be quite dangerous too! I'm an adrenaline junkie, and before I got into whitewater kayaking I was into SKYDIVING for about a year, then whitewater kayaking ate all my time, mind and money! I've been away from it for about 10 years now though. I HOPE to get back into it before I die. I used to be an ACA Certified Whitewater Kayak Instructor too, until I let my cert. lapse. John Kuthe...

My parents owned an antique shop back in the '80's and '90's, and oak was all anyone wanted. Mahogany went cheap, if it went at all. These things go in cycles, and it's interesting to watch it swing back and forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobF Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I just paid $2,800 for some excellent condition 82 walnut Khorns and drove 8 hours total to get them. And I think I over paid a bit. 5k is too much keep hunting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
