Klipsch Klipschorns (Improved)

Texas42

Up for sale are my ALK modded Walnut Khorns. These have extensive modifications to perform like no other Klipschorns I have ever owned or listened to. Well over $2k in mods to include: Beyma CP25 tweeters ($300); B&C DE85TN Midrange Drivers ($460); Eliptrac 400 mid horns ($525); 2 part crossovers with the ES5800 tweeter XO ($420) and the AP12-500 woofer XO ($350). This is all connected by pure silver internal wiring. The result is the cleanest, most dynamic and most musical Klipsch speakers I have ever owned or listened to. (I've owned, on multiple occasions at that, almost every Klipsch speaker model out there with the exclusion of the Jubilees. These out-perform them all, to include the Jubilees, in my opinion). Mods raise the efficiency to 107db. The 2" throat on the mid horns eliminate the horn shout that some find displeasing leaving you an extremely open airy speaker that actually images quite well! These have all the qualities I always loved about the Khorns (dynamics, etc), without any of the effects I did not like (horn ringing, limited imaging, etc). These Khorns have a serial number of either 3G039 or 36039 (see pic) which I believe places their vintage around 1969. I would rate them in good condition for their age. Speakers are available for audition and purchase in San Antonio, Texas area. These would probably be cost prohibitive to ship. Considering the cost of the mods, I am asking $3200, which I believe to be a bargain. I might consider a trade plus cash, depending on what you have. Email if interested.

Oh, I forgot to add, the original horns are also included in the deal, as well as the grill cover for the original drivers.

There are a pair of extensively modified K-horns (similar to these) owned by an AK member in Henniker, NH. They were superb -- smooth, extended, well balanced and utterly transparent.

I reckon these are, too.

That's an incredible looking crossover there, and you know what, I'm a halfwit when it comes to such knowledge compared to most members here!
