garymd Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Found this thread while doing a search. Thought it was kind of funny. I guess I'm not the only zebrawood owner out there. Fini, Did you ever find those shrimpskin cornwalls? Or was it squirrel fur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdyer Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I have no idea whether or not there are zebrawood KH's out there, but the pair I own were made by Klipsch in 1998 for me and are an African wood called sapele. It is a mahogany color with dark vertical stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Smilin would be VERY interested in these bad boys? Steve? Thanks! Tom AKA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Many guitar companies are using sapele mahogany instead of honduran mahogany. I don't know if it is availability or what. It makes a beautiful tonewood for guitars. Below is a pic of the back of a Taylor 300 series (almost the least expensive they make), with sapele back and sides: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdyer Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Hey Marvel: That's very beautiful. I have a 1979 Alvarez Yairi, whatever the model is which looks like a Martin d41. The back is called Honduran flame mahogany, a very figured burl, with a rosewood vee. I tried to play for 25 years and finally broke my thumb which put me out of my misery. I posted a picture of my KH's below and the wood looks identical. Take care. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 fini, My dad had an old Ford pickup that he bought used. The previous owner had put squirrel skins/fur on the door armrests. It was pretty weird. I always wondered why he kept it that way, as he didn't hunt of anything. May he kept them to annoy my mom.

Bill H. Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 JDYER, Thanks for the Picture! Those are Beautiful- and bet they sound even better! Congrats, I figured you'd be happier than two ducks on a Klipsch Horn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdyer Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Hey Paul: Thanks a lot for the technical help. I'm curious; it seems that an awful lot of folks are incorporating KH's into home theater. i use separate systems and only have a modest HT setup. I've heard it said that "why should you turn the best seats in the house into the cheapest." I don't mean to sound like a stereo snob, but I guess I am amazed you can get such a system balanced out. Do you separately amp each speaker? I'll bet you have to screw the roof down once you get it right. Thanks again. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdyer Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Bill: Thanks a lot. I'm certainly no expert, but they sure sound sweet to me. I power the mids and highs with Cary 300B monoblocks and the bass with a 220 watt SS Nikko amp with level controls on the back, so you can dial in the bass. I couldn't be happier, but I read about some of the systems folks in this forum have put together, and maybe it is just that ignorance is bliss. thanks again.
