has anybody seen or know anything about these speakers, they look pretty ancient.

Old German motion picture theatre speakers. I understand they have a cult following like old Western Electric theatre speakers do.

The people that like them think they're great, as with anything else.

If you go digging around you can find a couple of German websites that deal with this gear.

I believe the Bauplane site has some Klanghorn info somewhere in it...or at least a link to some info on it. It is difficult make much of it unless you can read German, but the pics and drawings are worthwile for a look-see. Do a google search and see what comes up.

I've heared the Bionor, driven by Lamm and my Wavelength Gemini amps, and IMO it's one of the best speakers I've ever heared.
