I did something similar a while back, maybe got the idea from you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 While browsing the picture files saw this one of the clear Klipschorn. Paul Klipsch really was a genius. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khornukopia Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 An art object on the wall of a hotel lobby that functioned very good as an acoustic diffuser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a picture of these and PWK with my ex-wife from back in 1985 during my visit to Hope. They are spectacular when you actually see them in 3D! I remember reading that it took 1,300 man hours to build!! They wanted to use a Laser to measure the cone motion on the Khorn at 120 db output, or some such thing, to verify that the woofer did not move more the 1/16th of an inch at full output!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once made a thick clear plexiglas panel for the woofer access door on a Klipschorn so I could watch the woofer. Never did see any cone motion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why horns are such good acoustic transformers. The resultant miniscule cone motion is a direct result of that optimization which reduces Intermodulation Distortion much faster than the gain in efficiency! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided to try them with the Klipschorns in the garage. The pair of 12" subwoofers may be undersized for the main speakers, but they sound good and get plenty loud. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khornukopia Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 The garage Klipschorns have been inspiring me to improve the appearance of my workbench area, so I wrapped mahogany veneer around the water heater. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 I had an extra pair of DE-120 drivers, so when I read a thread about a forum member swapping out his CT-120 horns, I asked if they were for sale. I want to thank @pbphoto for selling these good as new horns at a great price and really fast UPS delivery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The burl finish on the K-402 pictured earlier is a vinyl wrap. I plan on replacing it with better looking real wood veneer so that it matches up with the genuine wood veneer of the bass bins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Bought a case of Sound Seal acoustic wall panels. Made of one inch thick rigid fiberglass and covered with Guilford acoustic cloth. Several of these on the walls of a room make the room sound better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Just a random picture of a nice room in a house I visited. Audio system was conspicuously absent, but they did have a separate home theater room with some brand X speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right. Everything I have shown you so far is just practice for when I get around to the veneers that require a higher level of expertise. I am now experimenting with different dye stains for my next project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 If these are your practice runs to deal with your learning curve, it will be nice to see what challenge is ahead of you when you're done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Had some big old cabinets sitting around, so I pulled the original sub drivers out, veneered the cabinet faces and swapped in some 18" Ultimax subwoofer drivers, shown here inside out. These Ultimax have dual 2 Ohm voice coils, but for my application I connect the voice coils in series to give the amplifier a nominal 4 Ohm load. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
