scott0527 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 That's hilarious. I'm sure the guy did that for his wife. So they fit right in with the rest of her carefully put together "Cracker Barrel" designer motif. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 We joke about the pantry door motif, but wasn't this an actual vintage Klipsch & Associates design at one point during the late '40s early '50s? I remember seeing this and another pic of a pantry door Klipschorn on this or another audio forum about a year ago...can anyone in the know enlighten us?

garymd Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I remember it too Jim. It was here for sure but I can't remember if it was from a brochure or a link to an ebay item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 That's what I thought too, Gary. It's my assumption this Klipschorn was actually built like this by Klipsch & Associates, Inc., and not an afterthought by its owner just to please his wife and their home's decor (although if I'm correct, then Klipsch designed it for the WAF). There does seem to be a different squawker behind the grille cloth; if so, there may have been some owner modifications done later on. But the pantry door look is original if I recall correctly.

garymd Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 If I remember correctly, it wasn't a khorn but a shorthorn we saw before. Makes me believe even more that it was an option at the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Quite right, Gary. I hope we hear from a moderator or someone in the know about vintage Klipsch design options...I find this rather interesting! It's like when I found out my '79 raw birch C-BR Cornwalls are actually another "Decorator" model, according to Andy (HDBRbuilder), and he should know...he said he built 'em (according to my serial numbers and hand-stamped marks located on the back edges)!
