RLink Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Could someone please confirm that the New Klipschorns Horn in the upper cabinet is now fully enclosed? The Web or videos that were recently done does not show that but the second page of the spec sheet shows the back of the upper cabinet fully enclosed...........Thanks for any assistance with this.

Maximus89 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Is the top hat enclosed? You mean like the 60th anniversaries? If that's your question, it doesn't appear to be so. Only the LF bin is enclosed it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus89 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Just saw the 2nd page of the spec sheet you mentioned. Interesting. Hadn't seen that before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 OK - having been mostly on hiatus from the forum in the recent six or seven years I am curious - when did the Klipschorn bass bin begin to have an enclosed (IOW, suitable for out of corner placement) bass bin as a normal/standard way of manufacture? I seem to remember an anniversary edition being made like that some years ago, but have now noticed that normal production Klipschorns now are made this way? When did this begin as a normal/non-anniversary edition method? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that these were suitable for out of corner placement for the majority (and certainly prior to say year 2000) of the KHorn production history? Mind you that my hands on experience with a Klipschorn is about zero, save for one listening audition in the mid 2000s and seeing them in audio shops in the early 80s. Pretty much all of my Heritage experience is non-Klipschorn (Belle, LaScala, Cornwall, etc) so I'm curious if I'm making more of changes in the recent models than is reality here.

glens Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Last I remember seeing, there is still the original configuration being made, too. Somewhat less expensive. But it's been several months... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
