Painful Reality Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I just finished the pair of Horus I exchanged to Greg Roberts against his pair of Rosewood Khorns. Obviously things took longer than originaly planned. Many thanks to Dale Walker who did the chroming. The square holes and the copper screen were Greg's creation. So Friday will be the day we will do the swap and I'll received the khorns. Hopefully they will integrate better than my Lamhorns in my cursed horribly poorly sounding listening room.

colterphoto1 Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 ohhhh shiny chrome. Dale does beautiful work. I'm kind of salivating for the day that I, too can heat my home with tubes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudret Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Jeff, I'm sure they sound excellent. I hope your Khorns are everything you hoped for, as you well deserved them. Congrats, Greg. They are one of a kind. Kudret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Very nice! The square holes and copper screen complement the design nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painful Reality Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 Most credit for the chassis must go to Dale and Greg. I just supplied the copper chassis with the holes I required as can be seen on the picture attached. Greg could punch any other holes to his heart content (with some restricted "no holes" areas that he nearly respected). As for the shine, this amps goes from the shiniest to being totally covered with fingerprints within a blink of the eye. Kudret, if you want, your name is written on those khorns if they don't fare better than my Lamhorns in my room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg928gts Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I'm quite please with the way they are turning out. I'm going to add a wood element to it now, probably custom made feet on each corner that raises them up a bit. Sapele perhaps? Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssh Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Awesome, Jeff. Congratulations. Looks like a sweet deal both ways. I look forward to your Khorn report. Will you power with your new PP? Congratulations to you, too, Greg. You'd better sit down when you first listen to those amps; I'll bet they are stellar. OK, guys, inquiring minds want to know.

SSH ---------------- I still don't know what will power the khorns. The 2A3 PP need some work yet. A 300B SET amp is on the drawing board. A GM70 SET is on the long term plan. For sure the room I have now seems to be cursed. All loudspeakers I tried sounded like kaka. Problem is that the room is responsible for at least 60% of the end result. Less offensive loudspeakers now were a pair of mini monitors. I'm not holding my breath for the khorns but I have some hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Mandaville Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 ...and will this new Horus include the cathode return of the OPT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 The horns will work. They always work. Controlled directivity is the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They throw a sound field as large and as intense as Hurricane Ivan. He just needs to find a seat somewhere in the middle of the room, and have at it. Then again, if they sound like "kaka", the house probably needs to be burned down since it's possessed by evil demons. I, to date, have the WORST room you could imagine, and they sound pretty darned nice to me. Zero soundstage, but very nice indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leok Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Beautiful amps Jeff. I don't recognize the 2a3 .. is that the Sovtek? Good luck with the KHorns. Maybe the focused radiation will help. Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg928gts Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I'll sit him down right in front of them and crank it up. We'll overcome the kaka. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
