3dzapper Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I was disapointed when my 1977 Klipschorns were delivered with the lined Klipsch logo plate in lieu of the pie logo I was expecting. For a while I thought it was because I had bought the "cheap" KC-BR model. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Mobley Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I bought '77 Heresy's in early '78, they had the rectangulat nameplates. I've thought about changing them, but gave up the idea a couple years ago. "Let them be what thet are", so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I think that Gary's guess is the closest to being correct. I would guess the same around 1975. My '78 La Scala's had the lined rectangular Klipsch logo's on them. To further stump you guys when was the switch made from the solid color (black background) w/gold pie slice logo from the clear/gold one? Or was it vice versa. Where's Andy? Or another Klipsch expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhawk92 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 FWIW, my '68 K-horns have the clear pie slice logos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 My '68 Mahogany Cornwall II's have the clear pie slice logo's as well and they are sharp looking. I also have the brand new Jubilee pie slice logos on my speakers as I think they are real sharp looking too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 My '73 Khorns have pie slice logos. HDBR gave me the straight dope on the pie slice logo. Amnesia now, though. Even the semi circular lines were significant to PWK. Has something to do with lines on a musical scale or proportion of a bass wave... something that was pretty cool. I think it is basically the outline of the Khorn footprint/top plate in a stylized corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I believe the 7 curved lines have a Biblical origin, but I am drawing a blank. Have to dig out the old video tape of our tour to their home a few years back when Miss Valerie explained it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I came in on the end of Ms. Valerie's presentation. My recall is that the wavefronts were for the seven rich years and the seven lean years. I'll have to find The Good Book. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshnich Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 My 75 Belles (formerly jazzmans) have the pie slice. So it would appear by the evidence here that 75 was the last year..unless we get Geregos to try the case! josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I like the '79 logo on my Cornwalls (and still on Heritage models today). Has the best of both worlds IMO...the classic small "k" print, and the pie slice logo beside it. Works for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good2BHome Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 1975 or early 1976 was the last of the use of the gold on black pie-slice logos in production. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I have 3 different versions of logos on my 4 (soon to be 3) pairs of heritage. Pies on my '72 heresys, copper with the lines in the background on my '76 khorns and the copper logos Jim posted on my '80 and '83 corns. I really like the clear logos written in script on the early models also. Anyone know what year they went from clear to pie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Question: WHen I bought my Cornwalls, they had no logo plate. I wrote Klipsch then, and they were kind enough to send a few. Where would the rectangular klipsch metal plates officially be placed? I put them centered about 1" down from top of grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khorn58 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 when was the first pie logo used? my guess is around 61-62 my 62 cornwall has the silver lined pie logo my 68 has the clear I think the clear pie logo was used only in 67-68 years . my. Alos kilpsch maight have used whatever logo was on hand . so you might see earlier logos used after new versions. maybe the new logo were plasced on top of the old ones when refilling the logo bin?
