Oicu812 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pair-Of-Huge-Vintage-1950s-Klipsch-Klipschorn-Stereo-Speakers-Walnut-Cabinets-/263929109361?oid=142935156976 ITEM DESCRIPTION: Up for auction is a HUGE and RARE pair of vintage 1950's Klipsch Klipschorn working stereo speakers, with walnut veneer cabinets. Estate Fresh. The owner of these speakers was a lifelong "tinkerer" and audio enthusiast. These speakers were stored in a dedicated listening room for all their life. They have very early serial numbers of 1156 and 1337. Each speaker measures approximately 52" tall, 32" wide, 13" along parallel sides of pentagonal tops, and 29" from the apex of the back corner to the middle front. There are some blemishes/scratches to the wood veneer in a few places. See the last photo for a close-up of the worst damage. The description of each speaker follows: Klipschorn Corner Horn Speaker - Serial No. 1156: Dated Nov. 30, 1956. Loaded with aluminum squawker horn with a K55 Mid, a K77 Tweeter, a K500-5000 crossover, and a Stephens Tru-sonic 103LX2 Woofer. Works well. Klipschorn Mid Range Horn Speaker - Serial No. 1337: Dated May 14, 1957. Loaded with a K5 squawker with a University SAHF Mid, a University 4401 Tweeter, and a type 1RC crossover variant. The cabinet type is not clear on this speaker, and may be a kit or DIY. The woofer on this speaker will need to be replaced or re-coned. It looks to be a later model woofer, and the surround has been damaged. See 11th photo for close-up. Works. NOTE: There is also an extra roll of material for the speaker covers. PAYMENT: I will accept Paypal for these speakers, but would prefer cash payment upon pick-up. SHIPPING: NO SHIPPING. Local pick-up ONLY in Havre de Grace, Maryland. RETURNS: Refunds will be given if an item is not as described and is returned in the same condition as it was shipped. OTHER: We deal primarily in antique/vintage/collectible items. We do our very best to accurately describe any flaws, wear or damage if applicable. If you have any questions, PLEASE Email us before bidding.
