hoggy Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Does the differnce in a Khorn with the spacer inbetween the bass bin and the Squawker/tweeter and the model without the spacer sound any differnt? Why did Klipsch offer these in 2 differnt configurations or was it a manufacturing year thing? Would it be a fair trade to trade Walnut Oiled Belles for unfinished (unveneered) plywood Khorns in equal shape? Thx guys, hoggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny dB Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 They used to be offered in 3 different styles any given year. The 2 you mentioned and a 3rd with out top or sides for the midhorns and tweets. Three different price points as well. No difference in sound from what I've heard, but I haven't heard the last one I mentioned. I think the Belles, if they are in fantastic shape are probably worth more, than unfinished Khorns. Khorns seem to come up for sale alot more than Belles, so the law of supply and demand is a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoggy Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 Guess I should be more specific in the description of the Khorns I'm looking at. They have the grills and the plywood looks finished. They aren't vennered though. My Belles aren't in "fantastic" condition but are in very fine condition. They have some very minor scratches on top where photo frames have marked them. These are very minor and could be sanded out easily. However in anything but direct light one would have to look for them. I wouldn't want someone to feel I was trying to get the better of them in my description of their Khorns if I was to make him an offer. hoggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 The difference in Khorn styles is only cosmetic. PWK offered the different trim levels from industrial to furniture quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny dB Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I don't know what you mean by "unveneered". Are they Raw Birch? In which case you could just apply the finish of your choice w/out veneering. Unless of course, you want something more exotic looking. If raw birch is the case, I think that would be a fair trade. If you didn't live all the way in WA, I'd consider trading you my Khorns for your Belles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie dave Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 That decision would be yours to offer and Ki's to accept. The fact that he is probably selling his least desirable set and you are selling a set that should slide into the living room in good shape, should give you a leg to stand on. The difficult part is you both need to see what is on the table so you can reach a consensus, which would mean a trip to Seattle with an agreement to buy and the handshake to be worked out. There are few speakers prettier than the Belles and few better than the Khorns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
