Dmitry Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 It's 1950s vintage, built like a tank, slight water damage to one area at the bottom, approximately the same dimensions and shape as K-Horn. Local pick-up only. I'm in Rhode Island. Not looking to make a killing here, just cleaning house. First $50 takes it. I will have the photos tonight.

Dmitry Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Anyone interested in this? Otherwise I might be tempted to chop it up and eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Wow... looks very similar to a Khorn. Almost a blatant copy if you ask me. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAKO Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Thats because Brociner was a earley Klipschorn licensee. To make the horns on the east coast. ( with in reason) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmitry Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Gentlemen, I have just upped the ante. The cabinet is free for the taking [literally - come and take it]. If you do feel the need to thank me, a bottle of spirits would suffice. This is truly an exceptional opportunity to acquire a piece of American craftsmanship. Red, White and Blau plywood, baby!

picky Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 We saw some similar Brociner corner horn cabinets during the Klipsch Hope pilgrimage in Arkansas this June. They had them displayed in the Klipsch Museum of Audio Technology across the street from the plant. A few of them appear in the video footage I shot there. Engineering Executive, Jim Hunter is the museum's curator and he can tell you all about these corner horns and their history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and I can help him drink it![D][pi] That bass bin is early design with a 13x6" woofer slot and small splitter. It's not in bad shape, the "water damage" is minimal. a stain around the bottom. A nice platform for a Klpsch/Oris or whatever. The price is right. Get the fuses? Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddyi Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 don't chop a nice piece of audio history - even if taking up valuable living space - those are rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 don't chop a nice piece of audio history - even if taking up valuable living space - those are rare So are certain privileges I enjoy in the house. At this point it's either the Brociner or my semi-restored cars. Empress Wife I rules with a gold-plated billy club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homemadeheresy Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Wish i lived closer. Would have loved to seen this a few weeks ago, before my vacation. Definately could have been a fruitful roadtrip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnBob Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Will some one please adopt this thing? I just can't swing the roughly $550 to pick it up, crate it and ship it to St. Louis. (Darned old property tax!) It's a piece of audio history, and could easily be restored. Or, if you'd rather, I'd imagine it could accomodate an Altec 511 in the top for a more modern sound. In any event, an opportunity like this comes along pretty infrequently. Plus you'll get the positive kharma of preserving something that a pioneer audiophile must have cherished and gained a great deal of happiness out of. I'd better stop before I break into a chorus of "Aye, tear her tattered ensign down..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I wish I were closer. Try posting an ad on craigslist. I can't believe someone here hasn't jumped on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
