Cornman Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Truly inspiring! Thanks for sharing that with us Groomlakearea51. Goes to show a man with a "Man Cave"& a goal can make it so. Now that wall of Voodoo gives me goose bumps..[] Cornman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg928gts Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Another pair saved! Well done. I like the added bottom piece, very smart. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Now let’s crank them up!!! The "Wall of Voodoo" lives!! Currently they are on amp #1 on the far left row. They will be tested with the tube amp up top later this week. Nice vintage Sansui gear. Which model tuner is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Now let’s crank them up!!! The "Wall of Voodoo" lives!! Currently they are on amp #1 on the far left row. They will be tested with the tube amp up top later this week. I am certain that Sam Adams in the lower right ensures a bright, clean sound with a great finish!

Don Richard Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Very nice! Proof that Khorns will never die. You do good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad02rider Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Marshall, Nice work! I know that you and the Mrs. are happy. I remeber the first time I saw those and thought this guy is either nuts or one helluva cabinet maker. Come to find out you are both. Congrats and enjoy. I hope to hear them soon, tip back a cherry wheat and smoke a stogie with you. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Nice vintage Sansui gear. Which model tuner is that? TU-9900; mint... matches the amps, Amps are: Main row AU-11000's; top center is the "crown jewel", Sansui's AU-111 (6L6GC based), rebuilt to factory specs, NOS tubes, etc., etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted September 25, 2008 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2008 Very nice, I have seen some of your work, you were the only one who had doubts about your ability to make them perfect. You are more organized then me with all the screws and different parts you had to hold on to for that long. Love that wall of Sansui ! And the Boss is happy, what more could you want !

Somebody else who saw them said I was nuts for even thinking about trying it.... Oh man, my eyes light up when I see them in that kind of shape. It's not as exciting to me when I go to buy a pair of Khorns for restoration and they really don't need restoration. It's kind of a let down.

Greg You could hire me to come in and rough 'em up a bit...[]Marshall, GREAT JOB, man! I agree, they now look mil spec. I appreciate the alterations you made. Let us know the difference (to the sound) they make, OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 Distinct improvement in the clarity. But then again, new A/4500's, new K55's and new CT-125's will do that. Bass is sharper now that they are completely sealed into those corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Bass is sharper now that they are completely sealed into those corners. If by sharper you mean a little better defined, the CT-125's may contribute to that, too -- or at least that was one effect of my installing the 125's in my K-horns. Perhaps the 125's projected the bass overtones more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Awesome work. I'm trying to remember what those looked like back in April in your garage ... man, they sure do look sweet now. Very nice work! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the 125's projected the bass overtones more. I covered up the tweeter & midrange with a couple towels to eliminate the highs and played a particular track that has some bass passages that had annoyed me before with the other K-horns. Same definite improvement. I suspect it's the sealing and the A/4500's, but I'm inclined to think that the sealing is "doing its job". Hard to tell otherwise. I may put these in Michaels bedroom and bring my original 79's in to test. They are "bone stock", but do have Bob's A/AA recaps. I also want to test another sealing gasket I ran across in my "research" and may do those with that type and see what I've got in the man cave. Moving them around only takes about 15 minutes (I'm getting real good at moving Klipschorns around lately...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
