Have redrawn the entire k-horn plans in CAD to EU plywood standards (12mm and 16mm). I'm now contemplating on either letting a CNC router do all the work (I have all the individual pieces drawn out into CAD already, so should be easy to convert to a milling job) or let a professional sawing service do the job (I know they will deliver, but it's much more expensive). Any thoughts? OP, if you need help understanding the plans; send me a PM. I also have some plans/builds saved myself. That would be great. Anything you could send. I didnt find anything I could come up with a cut sheet. I can cut it and build it if I see the pieces/measurements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can download his and check for discrepancies. http://wp.volvotreter.de/projects/khorn/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about all I have - this should be an interesting project, take your time.... I'll leave with the only picture of my next project... I'm still trying to figure it out lol That is the only picture of that Klipschorn. It was from Sante Fe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many compound mitre cuts that have to be right on the money to achieve an air tight interior. I modeled the pair I built from a 1976 pair and the speakerlab plans. only a few differences between the two as far as the bass bin goes. 1976 model used 1/2 and 3/4 plywood. If I remember correctly, you will only be able to get about 450hz out of the bas bin(someone chime in here). Big D Love those! I've recently taken my fathers handmade one out of his storage for refurbishing. I have his original blueprints and a million questions.

The face of the horn and tweeter baffle was veneered since it will be covered. Edited August 26, 2019 by Drugolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
