Q-Man Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 As some of you know, I will no longer be using my K-Horn top sections. I planned on selling my K-Horns and building new bass horn bottoms for my mid. and tweeter horns. Now a member of this forum asked me if I would consider selling him empty top sections, because he has the drivers, horns, networks, and bass horn bottoms. Before I tell him that I will do this I want to know if anyone has a need for the Following pairs. At these asking prices. K77 tweeters $200.00 K55M drivers $200.00 K400 horns $200.00 Klipsch sold them for $400.00 a pair. AK-2 network $400.00,or AK-3 $550.00, Klipsch sold them for $1,200.00 a pair. I need to keep one pair of networks so I can sell a stock pair of K-Horns yet. I hate the idea of parting out the Klipschorn top and wouldn't do this, but since I was asked by a forum member I'll see if any of you are interested in this.

DillonW Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 I would be interested in the other top halves to use as front effects speakers. How much with crossovers? Thanks, Bill nfllions20@3lefties.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cornell Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 I dont think he wants to disasseble both pair, also when i told my wife how much im ganna pay for empty tops she said WHAT? So he might be better of just selling both sets as whole! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Man Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 I'm off to bed, let me think about this and I'll get back to both of you. Maybe we can work out something that will be fair to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Man Posted May 21, 2003 Author Share Posted May 21, 2003 Bill, I figure that I can sell my walnut AK-2 Klipschorns for $2500.00 as is, and my black oak satin AK-3 pair for $3000.00. So if I say that you can buy a pair of tops and networks for around $1,100.00 you may think I'm nuts. If I had to build myself a pair to replace the ones that I sell you it would cost me more then that just for the cost of the parts. You can see that from the prices I listed in the previous post. The guy that I bought my walnut pair from painted the tops black and covered the bottom bass horn with black grill cloth. He did a good job, but that's why I would sell them for $2,500.00. Tonight I applied some lacquer thinner to the back of one of the tops. The black paint comes off rather easy, I don't have to use a stripper to get it off. If someone wants these restored to like new condition I will do it and then sell them for about $3,000.00 I could and will even put the AK-3 network in them and ask $3,300.00 for them and then $2,700.00 for the black satin with the AK-2 installed. This is another reason that I feel that I should put an ad in the local papers. Someone could come see the two pairs and pick their finish and network. I'm sure that you will say no to the $1,100.00 price for the tops, I just want you to try to understand why I'm asking that amount. If it is too high for you, you can wait untill I see what happens with the local ads. I'm not going to advertise them for a couple of weeks yet. Then after that I will try ebay for local pick up. So, if they fail to sell I may offer them to you at a lower price. Jim, If I don't sell you a pair of empty tops, I will offer to build you a pair to help you out. Feel free to email me.

Jim Cornell Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Sounds great to me, kinda would hate to see them split up anyway! Both are AKs so there a bit newer, sell them whole! Regards Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Robinson Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Mark V, nice to see you on the board. You've certainly moved a lot of nice Klipsch speakers. I almost snagged up a pair of some nice old Cornwall II's ... Hope you're well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundbug1 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Hello Chris, I remember you comming down to look at those old Cornwalls. I have another pair! Finished in a beautiful teak wood and with the offset midrange and tweeter horns. They are from 71. They sound as great as the look. I've come across a beautiful pair of 67 Heresys with the EV SP12 speaker in them that are really nice and I'm trying to resurect an old pair of Klipschorns. Always a project going on here!

DillonW Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Q-Man, As you guessed, I would have to pass. I should be able to pick up another set of La Scalas, or the upper parts for substantially less. Thanks anyway for the quote. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Man Posted May 24, 2003 Author Share Posted May 24, 2003 Bill, I agree, you can find LaScalas for around $1000.00 I use LaScalas for my front effects. I'll let you know if something changes. Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
