Gorm Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 LOL. Seller is going to be in for a rude awakening if they already started spending the money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I can only imagine that these must have been a special order veneer. You just don't see stock pairs like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus89 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I can only imagine that these must have been a special order veneer. You just don't see stock pairs like that.I was thinking the same thing. Those are gorgeous even though I’m not a fan of KHorns with the collar. Too outdated looking for me. But I gather that some people just look on the klipsch site and see the price for new KHorns and come up something they believe is fairSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Yes those are pretty, but isn't that just walnut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Definitely not the typical walnut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus89 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I don't know what exactly the pattern in the wood grain is called, is it figures? cathedrals? Whatever it's called, it has those that really stands out from the plan sliced flat cut walnut used on most of the klipsch products from that era ie: Modern KHorns and the new AK6 use walnut veneer that doesn't look so flat cut basic walnut anymore Subtleties like that which can make the veneer look much more luxurious. Though those Khorns for sale have that old oiled look that a lot of WO Klipsch products from their day have that i really don't like at all. It makes the walnut look too red toned. I really wish i could find an old pair of Walnut oil'ed Chours II, strip/sand them and give them a natural lacquered finish on top of the raw walnut and sell my black Chorus II and match my Walnut Forte III center. My Khorns are raw Fir, and since i can't sell them as is and be happy with the pay out, i'm thinking of going big with figured walnut veneer one day when funds permit.

Maximus89 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 They may say just Walnut on the label, but i don't think Klipsch has ever distinguished what kind of cut of walnut veneer they used. Usually only label the finish such as oiled or lacquered. California Black Walnut and Australian Walnut being two recent walnut veneers they've used by name to distinguish from regular walnut veneer at a premium price of course.

Khornukopia Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Those Klipschorns look very nice. The seller is in Seattle, home of speaker-lab, so using the word Authentic in the local C-L ad for previously owned speakers is probably good for the general public. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Look at this deal that we all missed out on. Well, almost all.. Hopefully someone here picked them up and they aren’t listed tomorrow for $3k. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
