guys......

I have seen Klipsch go through driver changes

before...and i have yet to notice, ..from a

musical perspective..any change in the heritage line...sonically

Just before i purchased my 81" Cornwalls,

they changed the woofer

And after i had them for a while, they came

out with larger tweeters and everything was

front mounted..

Yet....that sound was still there

It's just like.....,

A, 9' Steinway is allways a Steinway.

It still has that BIG soundboard and quality

Regardless of what parts they use.

So CHILL....everythings gonna be fine

WASN'T IT PWK HIMSELF WHO MADE A REFERENCE

TO DRIVERS AND SELECTION

SOMETHING ABOUT CATGUT AND WHO CARES WHICH CAT IT CAME FROM,..BUT ONLY MATTERS THAT THE

STRINGS ON THE VIOLIN STILL SOUND LIKE A

STRADAVARIUS??

i do have a question while im here though

In regards to finish

Im just about to taking the plunge into

a set of cornerhorns..

1) is the finishing still as nice as the

"80's" models that were made

2) when i heard the klipschorns at the dealers house,..these models were in rosewood...with black grilles

can you still order the custom finishes. or is that just a "great memory" of the past

and everything is now the oiled walnut with black grilles ??

mind you..the walnut with black is still

outstanding to see..

HAPPY SAILING

Rob

I tend to agree to an extent about driver differences being less of an issue with horns than with direct radiators. But still, I be illin', not chillin'...just call me a worrier.

I've got '98 k-horns in oak oil, and I'm totally pleased with the finish quality. I don't know about the "exotic" finishes, whether they're still available. I don't believe they mention it in current literature.
