Moderators Travis In Austin Posted January 6, 2019 Author Moderators Share Posted January 6, 2019 News One-time Opportunity Sale Of Museum Edition Klipschorn AK6-ME A RARE BEAST FULL BROCHURE DOWNLOAD CLICK HERE. In addition to the legendary acoustics and impressive upgrades already included in the AK6, the Klipsch Museum of Audio History is proud to offer a limited production of one (1) pair of unique Museum Edition Klipschorns – Numbered AK6 ME-001 and AK6 ME-002 – with official documentation verifying their provenance.HANDSOMELY APPOINTED The units are custom veneered with Black Limba (Terminalia Superba), a beautiful West African species who’s lower trunk wood yields deep, radiating markings. Often used for guitar bodies and heirloom boxes, Black Limba’s grain pattern is said to be reminiscent of sound waves. DuraCrest has been supplying Klipsch Heritage loudspeaker grilles for nearly half a century. To celebrate the creation of the Museum Edition Klipschorns they have crafted a resplendent woven licorice and chocolate cloth that expertly complements the Black Limba’s depth and hue. “We have been tasked with the responsibility of doing what we do best... building beautiful grilles for Klipsch. We are calling it Klipsch #18-45 M . 18 is for the color designation, 45 is the number of years DuraCrest has been building grilles for Klipsch, and M for Museum.” – Ralph Fortino Jr. TRULY UNIQUE Official Museum Edition plaques are affixed to the rear of each speaker enclosure – numbered and hand-signed by Roy Delgado, Jr. – PWK protégé and acoustic designer of the Klipschorn AK6.

A very, very nice gentleman from Illinois, a 20 something year owner of Khorns who is upgrading his entire system before he retires. He had bought Fortes for his son awhile back and his son will now be getting his Khorns! Multigenerational Klipsch fans! Travis 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
