greg928gts Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 So, I thought I would test Jeff's Khorns one more time before wrapping them up. When I turned the music on, I heard a rattling coming from one of the bass bins. It sounded like it was coming from deep within the bass bin. I've heard this kind of mechanical rattling from drivers before, and naturally thought the worst, damaged driver. These Khorns have the K-33 driver mounted to a piece of wood that is clamped onto the motorboard. While the music was playing, I undid the clamps and pulled the driver and the wood piece out of the bass bin and confirmed that the noise was coming from the driver itself. So I shut everything down and unscrewed the woofer from the wood and there it was . . . . See photo. An almond had found it's way down into the bass bin and lodged between the cone of the woofer and the wood. It actually stuck there. I can hear the almond inside the shell rattling when I shake it.

HornEd Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Wow, are you going to auction it off on Ebay??? Imagine, owning a genuine Klipsch Audio Nut!!! Then again, there are quite a few wives that may already "enjoy" making that statement. =HornEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Ya know Ed, if Greg did auction off that "official" Klipsch nut, someone here just might bid on it...sincerely! It would really bring in the big bucks if he painted it canary yellow and printed the word "BULL$H!T" on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Hmm, I think he would get a bigger bid by mounting the almond on a yellow MDF circle that is inscribed in Old English to say "No Bull****!"... In fact, he ought to check the serial numbers of that speaker, that could be one of HDBRbuilder's nuts! And for a cut of the action, Andy might add a certificate of authenticity. =HornEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironwoods Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 If you throw another one down in the other bass bin you could groove on the *new* Almond Brothers release in stereo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Greg, I have heard that Almond's are a good source of Protein for Humans..........someone must have been trying to add life to your speakers! In the Imortal words of the General at the Battle of the Bludge........"NUTS". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
