JulieHeartKlipsch Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 What exactly is a "trachorn"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Julie, This is the very first Trachorn prototype made by Martinelli (www.woodhorn.com). It's now painted black and is in my center Belle Klipsch. It's a replacement for the K400 or K500 midrange horns in the Klipschorn, Belle Klipsch or LaScala and is available from me. This one has the driver mounting board held on with wood screws. The latest version uses long machine screws and nuts but it's identical otherwise. Al K.

Deang Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Sorry Craig. Yeah, I think that other thread put me in anal mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieHeartKlipsch Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Thank you. So this is real wood? If I am correct Klipsch started with wood, then metal then plastic (currently)? Does wood sound better everything else being equal? I have only Heresies but I am intrigued at Belle or Klipschorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted October 16, 2005 Author Share Posted October 16, 2005 Jules , I have no idea how wood horns sound myself . But take a look at this DIY project that some guy in France pulled off . Dean , Al , What kind of networks would you suggest for this setup ? [^o)] Um , What do you think Al ; Tweeters Out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anarchist Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I think this whole "cross-over" thing is BS and will be glad to pay Dean for providing new cross-overs that improve the sound of my Klipschorns. While at it, if Craig wants to prove his amplifiers would improve my satisfaction over my cheap Chinese amp, I am more than willing to listen to a set of VRD's. I bet neither take me up on the offer even if I pay for shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Julie, Here's an example of PWK's early horns (from the book The Life.... The Legend). The advantage of wood is that it makes no sound of its own. Tap a metal horn and you hear a "bongggg". Tap a wooden horn and all you get is a nice short "Thub"! BTW: The Trachorn has two wood layers separated by a layer or absorbent adheasive. Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Yeesh, and doesn't even include the amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 No my thoughts are if I was to do a raod show the amps would end up junk before long just to heavy for constant shipping. So you pay a reasonable fee of $2499 for shipping and you can either throw the amps away or keep them once you have done your evaluation [] Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anarchist Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Dean, [] I would like to be on your roadshow. I have Heresies and the Khorns. Your pick. Craig, You brought a chuckle out of me. Good response there. Ok. Silliness aside, no need for a roadshow - you only need to ship them once... to me. Tell you what, I will even pick them up so no shipping is necessary. Least I could do since you are providing the amps free for demonstration purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Okay Dean you have a deal. But I charge $2499 to see someone like you at my residence. Back at you[] Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
