scallywagger77 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 This is an amazing speaker that I have used with KLF 30’s and it “keeps up”. It was built and purchased from a fellow forum member in South Carolina who knows Klipsch Loudspeakers. Because this is a one of a kind item I understand it’s value is whatever someone is willing to pay so with that in mind I going to offer it for $400. negotiable, Certainly less for local pick up near Chattanooga where you can hear it before you buy. I have seen a lot of KLF 10 sell in the $300 range and as good as they are they are no match for this Beast. I have also used it with Pioneer HPM 100’s (also for sale) but won’t go into that here cause I don’t want to offend our moderators. lol If anyone is interested or has comments to offer please message me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstrickland1 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 tell me about the HPM 100's sir. You can PM if you wish And the KLF 20 parts were all purchased new from Klipsch. There is a "build thread" for that monster somewhere around here, I'll try to find it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scallywagger77 Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Thanks Billy: That’s quite a buildup, I never realized or appreciated the thought that went into the development of that beast. not only does it serve as an excellent center but I have used it as a single rear surround and all by itself with no left or right. Like a huge soundbar, ya know? I contact you on Facebook about the Pioneers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstrickland1 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Yes I had it as a rear at one point too, with 3 LaScalas up front and klf 20 sides. It looks like it did the day it was born. Damn nice center, Legend guys jump on this one. It works pretty well between Heritage as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Galt_2 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) Oh, the temptation, especially as I'm just starting to accumulate parts to do something like this myself..... That being said, I have a few questions for you. What are the measurements of the cabinet? Is there a speaker grill?

scallywagger77 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Sorry, no grill. The beast is 33.5 x 13 x 12.5 deep. Ten inch woofers and four inch ports on the back side. Appearance is the only thing it lacks, it will move some air if you want and sound beautiful at more sensible levels. Thanks for asking Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Galt_2 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Darn, it's too tall. It's probably for the best anyway, since I already have some of the parts. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scallywagger77 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 I have figured out a way to use this with Klipschorns but I’m wondering if I want? Billy commented on this thread that it would work good with Heritage and I wondering if I should keep it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstrickland1 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I liked it between my LaScalas, really did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scallywagger77 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 PI thought using the long wall (26) feet for the Klipschorns would not allow for my Split LaScala or TV Stand in the center because of doorways in the center of each wall. That was OK, I wanted Klipschorns on long wall. (Way more into music than movies) In anticipation of The Klipschorns I put the Cornwall’s on front long wall to get an idea of sound and have all wiring issues worked out ahead of time. Judy said the room sounded better than ever with three LaScalas on front (short) wall. Later on, Just for fun I decided to put an unused workbench (the store bought kind of workbench people buy that don’t build their own) to work by setting the TV on it and setting it off to the side. Well, it so happens the workbench has a shelf underneath that will accommodate the “Billy Strickland KLF Center 20”. I’m going to try felt pads on the legs of the workbench or casters so it can be temporarily moved in front of the doorway for TV viewing or listening when a center is wanted. I said all that to say I just might keep The Beast to team up with the Klipschorns. I’m curious how others feel about no center on a 26 foot wall and using this speaker with Klipschorns. Better off with or without? I’m thinking a lot of U tube videos in the future, DVD’s and Vinyl of course. Should this be moved to the technical forum. Sorry to hijack my own thread.

scallywagger77 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 OK Legend fans, I’m bringing this back because I never used it as intended. Hasn’t been moved or used since original post. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
