boom3 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 The 'original' Klipschorn top end was the K-5 which was, I think, plywood until it was replaced by the K-400 in the mid-60s. The current thread on Shorthorns and early Cornwalls shows systems with metal K-1000 (Hz) horns. My question is, why the gap between the 500 Hz (I think) K-5 and the K-1000? I know dies for casting metal horns aren't cheap, but a smaller horn, with, say, a 600 Hz cut-off could have been made of plywood using the same techniques as the K-5. Considering that Klipsch was using the University SAHF driver on the K-5 and K-1000, a new plywood horn would not have cost that much to implement.
