WMcD Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Drat. I hate the server and the server hates me back. The first page was in this area and it disappeared. I've kept the file size and resolution low. I often get time out messages. If you'd like the pages at higher resolution please e-mail or pm me with your e-mail address and I'll send them along.

Mr. P Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Why are you posting this review? It seams there should be better reviews available in english. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Hey, that thing has a K-55-V and Type AA network! Did they test a 1982 model K-horn? My french is too bad to read much of the report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-MAN Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Gil, post away! it's all resource. Now about the French in general: - they're FRENCH so what do they know?! Name one good thing to come out of France that isn't food... DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted February 3, 2004 Author Share Posted February 3, 2004 To answer Mr. P's question. Actually, there are very few technical reviews of the K-Horn. The only other substantial one I know of is the Heyster review from Audio. Therefore, this review and the 1987 review (also posted) may well account for 50% of what is out there in any language (Audio being the other 50%). Other reviews, like the one in VTV, are less formal. Old reviews are valid particularly because so many people own vintage K-Horns.

formica Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Thanks for the articles... great info. I haven't been around as much but they are the first "technical" reviews I've read. Thanks... Rob PS: Anyone have scans of the Heyster review? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted February 3, 2004 Author Share Posted February 3, 2004 I was being a bit dramatic in addressing Mr. P's question. But I believe these reviews are little unknown (by us) gems. A few years ago I was corresponding with a good fellow in France and he was kind enough to pass them along. It would be a shame if they are not made better known. Someday I may put the text through a computer translator and then clean things up. Is there anyone out there who would like to do a translation? I would be happy if anyone can come up with other largely unknown reviews of the K-Horn. Unfortunately the figures I mentioned are accurate to the best of my knowledge. I can't agree with pot shots at the French, or anyone else. We're a big happy family here and we've had some friends from France check in. Perhaps the exception is a certain land in Framingham , Mass. Bose. Smile. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your getting the old wood applied to you! With the current exchange rate a $3500pair of Lascalas would be about 2800 Euros. Add 200 Euros for shipping and 17% VAT and you get 3510 Euros. A fair price. At 8,000 Euros you should be getting Klipschorns and a kiss. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formica Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 I agree that this forum caters to a large variety of people from many different nations. The fact that some people are willing to pay the euro price for Klipsch is a testament to performance/value ratio. I may not be french, but i can read and write it.
