jt1stcav Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Wow, I just now read this thread for the first time, and I'm simply amazed at the generosity of some people! And Gary is definately deserving of these magnificent Klipschorns; I know he and his wife will enjoy them for many years to come. This is why I still love the Klipsch Forums the most...despite the trolls and flamewars we sometimes experience, this forum is still by far the best on the internet; it's members are simply awesome!

I'm sure when Larry gets finished photoshopping he'll post them. In the meantime, I have about 2,000 lps I have to listen to again for the first time. ---------------- Gary, Congratulations. Since you got such a great price on the Khorns, what better time to invest/upgrade your vinyl playback system. Trust me, you won't be sorry you did. I'll be happy to give you some ideas. Klipsch out.

Cal Blacksmith Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Garymd Congrats again! I'm still pinching myself to wake up from this dream, The overwhelming gift was increadable. Bet you are taking the day off work to hear those lps "for the first time" I would!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTLongo Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Gary, I'm so happy for you that it did work out. You've won the lottery so to speak, and dedicated audiophile that you are, who better than you? Those were very nice words you said in an earlier post about your wife Catherine. Being married to a full-bore audiophile must cause her to roll her eyes sometimes, but she's an angel. I hope the forthcoming pics will include a few of the backs of the speakers too. Curious to see how those 1970's Khorns differ from my '03's. I'm expecting receipt of my new Belle Klipsch center channel any day now. When it joins the Khorns in my newly enlarged room you and Cath gotta come out and hear. Allbests, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I'm the guilty party in not coming up with great pics so far. The veneer is very dark, I couldn't use direct flash because of glare, and hand-held blurred the pics. Gary, I think I need to use indirect flash, a tripod, or both. What do you think? Folks, these have spectacular sound! The bass is very full and robust, and it, and the rest of the range, have superb, quality definition. I think Gary's Craig-Mk III's, which I've heard on my system, has a lot to do with it. I'd also guess that it couldn't be carried through without a great preamp in the chain, and that the Blueberry is very much showing its stuff as well. Amazing score!

fini Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Larry, I don't think the problem was with the flash: It was most likely the glow of happiness radiating from Gary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTLongo Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Nice looking speaker. There appears to be a little cosmetic damage along the bottom. But hey, for the price...? Styling-wise, that Khorn appears to lack the "neck" between the top unit and the bass bin that newer ones have. See attached pic of one of my '03's for comparison. Just curious, does anyone know when Klipsch made that styling change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Congrats Gary! What's great is how a blessing like this flows over and touches everyone around it. I feel warm inside, and I'm loving the "goodness" of this whole thing. In this sometimes really dark world, it's awesome to still see God poking His head in. I sure hope Bill comes back in later and passes along what God brings HIM as a reward for this great act of kindness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"D" is totally bare-bones, no grill cloth, etc. Gary's are style "C", and the "necked" version is the "B." I think I got that right...I don't know if the C's and D's are offered now or not.

garymd Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Tom, There is one small chip on the bottom which is easily repairable. That's virtually the only cosmetic flaw. The other thing you see at the bottom is just a piece of tape that was on the floor when I pushed the khorn into the corner and is reflecting off the light. The "neck" is not included with the "C" style but the top and bottom of the upper bin overhang the grill cloth by about an inch which gives it a very nice look. The edges are sharp and the veneer is beautiful. The pics just don't do them justice as most khorn owners know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluless Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 gary- You are not worthy! I'll be over this afternoon to take your speakers away (along with the room corners). I'll need some help strapping them to the top of my car, if you don't mind. For consolation, I'm bringing you senor garter snake. Enjoy! Nicely done Bill and Anne!

garymd Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Clu, You're always welcome! If you can carry them out and strap them to the top of your car, they're yours! You must do this while holding senor garter snake in your teeth. Good luck and pm me for directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Here are two more, one of the left corner speaker at a different angle and the other of the right corner. No pics of the back right now. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrot Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Yes, it was amazingly generous of Bill and Anne. What a great thing to do. I have to admit that Dean's scenario of the axe murderer crossed my mind; Gary, you must be happy that you weren't chopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
