Parrot Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 These 24 foot long horns really show the genius of Paul W. Klipsch's folded horn. These speakers on eBay aren't going to pass anyone's WAF. Thanks for sharing, Budman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdc Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I sure wouldn't want to be sitting in that chair next to the left horn. In fact, I wouldn't want to be in that room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted April 17, 2004 Author Share Posted April 17, 2004 just a thought, if i remove my gas fireplace insert and installed one of these horns in its place, 6000 instead of 12,000 then install my gas burner in the horn, with one watt of input power I could have one hell of a flame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMcGoo Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 There is little doubt that PWK was a genius, but what kind of person would design such ugly horns??? If I wanted somthing bigger that Klipsch, then the original Voice of the Theater speakers would probably get my vote. These monstrosities probably would not get a second listen.

Frank Speaker Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Ive seen those speakers towed behind tree trimming trucks. They make a hell of a noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill ---------------- Bill, shouldnt it depend on how they sound? I have VOT 511/902-16A's atop my '75 Cornwalls. They look bad to most housewifes, but sound incredible. If sound reproduction is about how it looks in our home.....lets buy a nice painting. Should great sound reperduction be in the "eye" of the beholder or should it be in the "ear"?

MrMcGoo Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 At some point the appearance and size of speakers needs to be considered. I am skeptical that these speakers could sound good enough to convince me to keep them over K-horns or RF-7s. There is likely to be a better alternative available IMO. As I stated, it is unlikely that I would bother to listen to them a SECOND time. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 These horns go hand in hand with Rocky Mountain Oysters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB Slammin Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Guys, all i'm saying is that none(most) of us have ever listened to an arraignment like that. I havent, and its hard for me to put it down without the benefit of hearing it. TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 They'd probably sound great in the 20,000 square foot auditorium I plan on building underneath my house. I wonder what the reserve is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Speaker Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 For the WAF, those could be built into angled walls of a listening room so all you see is the bell, put a grill on that and its cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF... They were obviously designed for theatre and auditorium use, but they're butt-ugly in that beautiful room! The wife probably said, "It's either them or me". I would've replied, "It's my way or the highway, beeoch!" Guess the dude's gotta grow a pair if he's gonna stand up to the missus, me thinks! Ya gotta have a healthy pair to put these in your music room. Wonder how they sound, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
