Earl Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Well, I did it. Over the weekend I bought a very nice pair of Klipschorns from a fellow in Chicago who was the original owner. 750 miles round trip in one day, man was I tired. They are consecutive serial numbers with Type AA networks. On the labels it says "Klipschorn, Type KB-WO, Serial number 135927/8. They have a round magnet K-55 tweeter. Can anyone tell me how old these are and what the Type KB-WO means? Also, if someone can explain to me how to post a picture, I would love to do that. I get the URL and name. I assume that dimensions is pixel size, but what do I do for border, vertical space, and horizontal space? Thanks for helping me out. If anyone is looking for a real nice pair of LaScalas with the DeanG built networks, let me know. I am going to sell them but will refinish the outer cabinets before I put them on Audiogon, craigslist, etc. Thanks again, Earl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 congrats Earl, the 3rd digit in the serial number is an S which would make them 1978 KB-WO stands for ( K )Klipschorn ( B ) style with riser ( W ) walnut ( O ) oil the tweeter should be a round magnet K-77 and the midrange should be a K-55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Earl: Where are you located. Do you have pics of the lascalas? What are the specifics & what do you want as is? My email is in my profile. Pics are hard to post here until you get it figured out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meagain Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Earl - Congrats! Did you get them hooked up yet and how do they sound? Wondering also if you swapped the LaScala crossovers into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk49 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Earl, I'm interested in the La Scala's as well. I live in Lincoln NE and willing to drive. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Earl. My opinion, the oiled walnut Khorns are absolute beauties. Congrats! What's your take on the sound, relative to LaScalas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cut-Throat Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Earl, By chance are you the guy from the Minneapolis area? - If so, you are welcome to visit my place and see what some Altec Midranges will do for your Khorns. I am located in Plymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
