    Khorns are great with tubes, but that pair has seen it's better days. Not worth the asking $$$.

    Here is a pair just sold on the Gon that looks like they should.

    I've sold two pair of those, one pair from the 60's, the other from the 80's.

    Major cool factor, and something to experience when setup right, with the right equipment and music selection. A couple of watts of 300B SET power and the Beatles? You'd **** your flat hat.

    Those are LaScala's. 12 inch woof loaded in a folded horn on the bottom half. Electrovoice T35 tweeter in the top (same as the Khorn), and I forget the midrange horn.

    Cheers,

    The earlier ones used the Atlas AlNiCo PA driver for MR, on Klipsch's own horn. Not sure what ceramic-magnet drive Klipsch used later (or is using now in the new and improved LaScalas).

    FWIW, all the Klipsch Heritage speakers (even the Cornwalls) are available again.

    EDIT: Don't the LaScalas have 15" woofers, Russ? I think all the Heritage Klipsches save the Heresy had a 15" woofer.
