Cookin Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hello everyone. Last year I was given a klipschorn........just one. Now I don’t know what to do. It’s the most wonderful speaker I’ve ever seen. It’s louder than the second coming and the sounds, oh the sounds are miraculous. Needless to say my wife can’t stand it. Which means it’s perfect. I only have one, so I currently have it installed as the center channel in my home theatre, but it is the central driver in my basement system. I’m not a wealthy man, so what do you people think I should do? I was looking at putting a diffeeent amp on it ...but again there’s only one. The space is small. Maybe 14x 20. So I want to treasure it and honor it, so what should I do? Let me know ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Keep it as a center and get a pair of LaScalas as mains. Welcome to the forum and Merry Christmas. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 "Needless to say my wife can’t stand it. Which means it’s perfect." You just welcomed yourself to the forum buddy. You already sound like a verlteran. Keep up the good work. I agree with Bill. Cornwalls would go well with the khorn ad well. You can always level match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Where do you live and what condition is it in? I might be interested in taking it off your hands... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 A Klipschorn needs to be placed tightly in a corner. Placed so it can flap your pants legs with less than 100 watts. Try to find another. La Scala makes an excellent center and repairable beaters show up as singles all the time. Setup searches on eBay and craigslist and lays trap. http://www.adhuntr.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the forum, I think you'll fit in here just fine. Do you know the year the Khorn was born? If you don't then post the s/n and we can help you date it. That may be important in terms of the care and feeding of your Khorn. +++ On 12/27/2018 at 1:08 PM, JohnA said: A Klipschorn needs to be placed tightly in a corner. We've always been told that, but is it really true? Does it NEED to be, or does it LIKE to be? The reason I question traditional wisdom is because when I sold my Khorns I moved them from in the corners, to into the center of the room for demo due to pending sale. They were a couple of feet away from each other and they never sounded better, I mean they sounded phenomenal, five feet from the MLP. I was shocked at how good they sounded. That experience has changed my way of thinking from dogmatic to "try it, you'll like it." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A young couple I knew had a pair placed about 3 feet out from the corners. Sounded amazing! (Actually might have been SKs... they looked plain like decorators and it was 1977. I was in Memphis and not addicted to Klipsch quite yet.) Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I agree... the "hard and fast" rules that seem to permeate the forum at times... specially those that seem to be backed by "science"... can be obnoxious, unrealistic and intensively inane. I love science, and provable facts... but it's a bit like building a race car. An engineer can design, construct and give probability of speed but it's the driver that makes the car fast (or slow).
