Super_BQ Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Don't rush all at once. Geocities sets a bandwidth limit on my website so if it doesn't show up... pleaes try again later or the next day. http://www.geocities.com/lelamjade/Klipschorns.html I've been listening to these speakers for over 6 hours NON STOP! So for those that think horns are too harse or tiresome to the hears, YOU ARE WRONG. BQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 There is some incorrect information on the site: 1) The reason Klipsch stopped making Heritage for a while is because Electrovoice quit making the K-55-M and K-77-M. It had nothing to do with Pyle or an "affair" -- don't know where you came up with that one - you might want to enlighten us. 2) The caps in the network are metallized polyester. If the soldering looks suspect you should check all the joints with a multimeter. 3) The network is the AK-4, not the ALK4. Al may or may not be flattered by that.

Al Klappenberger Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Dean, The personal thing the guy is talking about actually did happen as I heard it, but it was years ago and it was the reason PWK went from Atlas to Electrvoice. And you are right about the "ALK4 " mistake. I certainly don't want to get blamed for that netwrok design!Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Remarkable that you kept your Klipschorns stored for two or three years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Auwen Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I think it was quite a complement when he said, "But then again why do people upgrade old Klipshorns with a new fancy ALK xover?" I certainly am enjoying my new "fancy" xover...[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_BQ Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 Hi Dean, From my experience, i'm pretty sure these are polypropylenes, at least metallised polypropylenes. They're not the expensive kinds like Hovlands Musicaps, Auricaps, or InfiniCaps who's to say that paying a premium for exotic brands makes that much of an improvement in the speaker network? ALK4 has been corrected to AK4 on the website. BQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Super, The only part of your K-horns NOT made in the U.S. is the tweeter. The woofer IS the same as the ones in your Cornwalls and is made in Kentucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 "...who's to say that paying a premium for exotic brands makes that much of an improvement in the speaker network?" Me. The capacitors in the new networks are polyesters. Honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-MAN Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 PLAIN or SPICY? - that is the choice (as in all things in life). The simple answer is that most people "settle". They don't optimize, they don't modify, they are satisfied with what someone else says they should have. Others with a technical bent tend to optimize and tweak for enhanced performance at various levels. People who are motivated, interested, or otherwise "involved" on other levels tend to NOT settle for the status quo. Owning Klipschorns are just like owning a Harley... the platform is there for any number of modifications and "individualization".

Batmans Robin Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 The problem with this set up is aesthetically. That is to say, all that crapola on the floor is an eyesore. Having anything between your speakers is probably THE MOST COMMON MISTAKE that audiophiles make. Do you know why they do it? Maybe I am talking about you so listen up! They do it because it keeps the speaker wire out of the way so you don't trip on it. Who cares about it ruining the imaging? With those nice K-horns the sound would be good that's true but gee there is so much that could be done with the room. What's with the couch cover? Why would anyone want to watch movies while listening to K-horns? I don't get it. So close but so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Batmans Robin how about showing us how it's done....some pic's of your HT setup???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuyOtherSoundEquipment Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I agree... we want to see your set up, instead of resurrected four-year old threads. and as a matter of fact, lots of people use Khorns in a home theater environment. Just ask Formica or Bhendrix (Jubilees). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwinr Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Is that lens distortion? Or is the room not perfectly square or rectangle? I'll tell you what I do find distracting, and that's the big white projection screen. My current one is a pulldown. My next screen will be fixed, but I'll rig a curtain or something so that it doesn't irritate me when I'm listening to music... BTW Batman's Robin, for those that seem to have trouble hitting you with their pot-shots, I thought I'd make it a little easier for them. They can't miss you now! LOL!
