DrWho Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 correct me if im wrong, but i don't think the transparent khorns were meant to have sound played through them...i was under the impression that it was built to show how the complex folded horn works.

Shock-Late Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 Well, maybe Plexiglass is stiff enough to offer same/better characteristics as wood? Must be awfully expensive tho!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-malotky Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I would think these were made ONLY for display. Plexiglass compared to plywwood or MDF of the same thicknesswould not be stiff enought to make a good bass horn. JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Reed Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I bet that is one heavy Klipschorn. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRBILL Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I recall that the fellows at Hope had a great deal of trouble with the dimensional stability of plexiglass. It is more variable with temprature and humidity than plywood and hell to machine. It took a lot of trys. They would cut one out, and the parts wouldn't fit. After they were put together, seams would open. It was an advertising aid, not a serious speaker to be put into use. I remember seeing them in the plant. I'm sure more than one was made.
