Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ??

Again, I apologize for causing a stir with my comment about the Zu peanut gallery. As Warrenh said, it was unfair, and indeed it was.

The principal issue here is the condamnation of a product that one has never heard. There is simply no reason for it, and such claims are categorically refuted upon the same grounds by many on this site, including those who have posted here. Most of us would not stand for an apples and oranges comparison of a product if the one referred to is a single iteration old, let alone one you've never heard at all. Upon what basis do you dismiss an unknown, especially when you yourself would defend against such conjecture? The bottom line is a Cornwall is not a Klipschorn, and a stock Klipschorn sounds nothing like a modded one. If you have no experience with the product or process being discussed, then your commentary is inapplicable at best, antagonistic at worst.

Again, sorry Warrenh. You're right, my comment was unfair, and I should have made my point in a more diplomatic manner.

Finally, thanks for the thread, Allsmiles. Please let us know how your experimentation settles.

Boa2, apology accepted....

:)

Boa2, outstanding use of rule #22. They'll never see you coming. I can't what to see your #15.

For those who don't know and a discussion of their cultural significance. Although not classical, they are somewhat musically relevant, kinda'.

I have owned K horns for the last 12 yrs...I play about 5% classical the rest is rock, jazz, female vocals,pop,funk etc. I like them alot, have used them and still do with Mac c46/252 and some VTL gear as well as some nicely restored Dynaco St70s

I also owned K horns for years for many types of music, mainly rock, but my wife , who plays string bass, loved them for classical. I now own Klipsch KLF30's as she loves the bass, and through my 45/2a3/300b SET's sound very good on all program material. I must say they sounded terrible on Adcom amps the dealer had. When we hooked up my LP12, Counterpoint SA5.1 , SET I had brought, the dealer shut the doors, brought out the ashtrays, and said " I had always believed Klipchs were incapable of depth of soundstage , and had hard sounding tweeters.. I can't believe what I hear." We and rhe salespeople listened into the night.
