Dave in ABQ Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 I think you may be right Mike. I have a beatiful 1950's University speaker in my bedroom set up as a mono system with an old sweet sounding Sony receiver a turntable and a reel to reel. I might give some thought to selling that and keeping the Shorthorn. The Univerisy has a much higher WAF though. I'll have to post a picture of it tomorrow.

Mike Lindsey Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I see the Sansui G-8000 in the bottom right hand corner... did you ever sell it? Man, do I miss the one I had in '78. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in ABQ Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Thanks Michael, I dig the silver too. Mike L, close but no banana! [] The reciver on the left is a Sansui 9090DB, the one on its right is a Pioneer SX-950. My flash sort of killed the details and makes them hard to see. I had a G8000, but I had to sell it. [] I bet you miss your too. Those G8000 are one of the manliest receivers ever made. 55 pounds of monster receiver. On the other side of the room is my Scott 299 thats still waiting to be sent for a tune up and my new Mac 1700. Spread throughout the house is a smattering of more audio peices than I can use or keep. I hate selling gear, but I can't help buying goodies when I find them and need to keep some funds in the bank. I have a collection though that wont be sold (unless I find something I like better!). Besides selling helping pay the bills, it alows me to keep goodies like my Khorn, Fortes etc. for ME!!

CaptnBob Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I've seen both "decorator model" and "Klipsch-Kit" Shorthorns with top plates like the one in the picture. The absence of the label on the back and the installation of the terminals makes me wonder if this is one of these. Still attractive and a good find.

mungkiman Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 FWIW, we can help you with dimensions if you are interested in producing a front frame panel or side grills. Is the Woofer a 103LX or a 103LX2? Just curious Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in ABQ Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 Captn Bob, I'm not sure myself. When I first saw it, I didn't even know what the Shorthorn was. A little seraching and I sooun found out. All the drivers and the crossover do have a Klipsch inspected label on them if that means anything. Chris, very nice of you regarding the dimensions. If I decide to keep the Shorty, I'd like to have some pics or plans for those front/side panels. The more I think about it, I might sell my Universiy and put the Klipsch in my bedroom instead. The woofer is the 103LX bye the way. Whats the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 My understanding is that the 103LX is 8 Ohms DCR, while the 103LX2 is 4 Ohms DCR. My '59 Shorties have the 103LX's, but other forum members have ones with the 103LX2's (roughly equivalent to an early K-33, I'm told). Biggest difference I imagine would be the network.
