Chris Robinson Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 This is VERY interesting ... What do you guys make of this???? They look beautiful and stunning. Please, any well-informed K-Horn afficionados ... offer commentary!

Randy Bey Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 Pretty. High priced. Seldom a bargain on eBay, where everyone wants the highest dollar for their gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted September 10, 2001 Author Share Posted September 10, 2001 I talked to the seller on the phone; seemed like a straight up kind of guy. The thing that I found interesting is that the tweeter is positioned INSIDE of the squawker and that the squawker is partially wood (unless I reading this wrong, which is entirely possible). Has anybody heard of that arrangement? Maybe I'll give Trey a jingle ... Ray G, I figured you might bite on these since they're in your backyard. They look old and very collectible. If they sound half as good as my 60's vintage Cornwall II's, I might chase them even though I have no where to put them right now (next house?). ------------------ Klipsch 1968 ALK Cornwall "II"s (LF/RF) ALK Belle Klipsch (Center) Klipsch Heresy (RR/LR) Klipsch KSW-12 sub Sonic Frontiers Anthem AMP1 (driving Cornwalls) Sonic Frontiers Anthem AMP1 (driving Heresy's) McIntosh MC-30 (driving Belle) Denon AVR-4800 Toshiba SD-3109 DVD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Garrison Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 Well, I'd love to... I think, at $2,000, they may be a bit UNDERvalued... Chris - I'll leave it to others here who are more knowledgable on the history, but yes, the early KHorns had the tweeter mounted inside the squawker mouth. Seems to make sense in that both horns now share the same major axis, which sounds like it ought to, uh, actually, I don't know what it would do, but it seems intuitively like a good thing... However, Ray is the CTO of an Internet B2B exchange, into which all of his assets are now bound, and in case you hadn't noticed the NASDAQ is now in sub 1700 territory and there simply ain't no mo money out there for cash starved Internet startups, no matter how well they're doing at hitting revenue targets and following the plan... all of which means Ray would have a hard time paying for a bottle of lemon oil with which to polish those KHorns... life goes on... ------------------ Music is art Audio is engineering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
