vincentq Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 ok folks.......mistery is solved ! Thank you. I am now waiting for the K77M diaphragm and the Crossover Repair Kits from Bob Crites. Does anyone have done that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 FWIW, depending on how big your room is, you may not come to favor the khorns over the CW. I very much enjoyed my khorns when I had them, but my 15 ft wide room meant that I could never get the position just right. I was either too close in order to be on axis or I was too far away and the soundstage was one dimensional. I just took delivery of a pair of Cornwall IVs and already I am happier with them than with the klipschorns. Now granted, I can’t say how much better they are than the IIIs, but they are faaaar better than the IIs. If my room had been about five feet wider I might not have given up on the khorns. YMMV Shakey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincentq Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 @ Shakey my room is 5.20X5.90x3.00 m so it is something like 17ftX19.36ft and the hight is 9.84 ft so i think it is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I would put them on the 19 ft wall if you can. That should work pretty good. On another note, I bought crossovers from Bob and was not impressed with the improvement over the 40+ yr old original ones. Then I purchased a set of Volti Audio crossovers and was very happy with the sound. My intention is not to disparage Bob or the work he does, he is truly a great asset to the klipsch community. I just think there are better performing networks out there, even if they aren't perceived as a good value. Shakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincentq Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 I have put them on the 19 ft wall with the false corner. I am only changing caps not the crossover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milk Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I am the owner of the other "special" serial number Khorns mentioned in this thread. Now I'm interested in peeking at some component serials to get a better idea. Sadly when I had contacted Klipsch Support the response was bad, they based the date off the label copyright stamp. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincentq Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 @Milk Well as we did for me maybe you should check the serial number of the Woofer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmccall Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 ...just thought I'd add my 2c regarding k-horn vs. cornwall... I think potentially, k-horns can kick cornwalls right to the curb...but only potentially. Set-up, room, gear, etc, etc must be spot-on for k-horn to perform up to it's capabilities. Cornwall are much easier to live with and much more forgiving of less-than-perfect...set-up, gear, room, etc. That said, my only first-hand experience is with cornwall "1's" (I know...they weren't called "cornwall I's") from '85 to '93, and with AK3 klipschorns from '98 thru '03.
