Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ??


I recently purchased a pair of Klipschorns. I also purchased a pair of Cornwalls. It seems that the Cornwalls are crisp and clean and a shade boxy while the Klipschorns are a very open sound. I have found the Klipschorns to be very good for classical music and some Satriani and Eric Johnson. I find that classic rock leaves alot to be desired because the recordings seem to be less than what I expected. I would like to hear comments from Klipschorn owners as well as Cornwall owners......thanks

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.
Glassaud,

Excellent combination between the 30's and SET's! I use a completely restored EICO hf-81 integrated tube amp with my 20's and Chorus II's.

I upgraded the crossover networks in both pairs of spekaers and the difference is incredible. I do all the upgrade work myself and stand by my work. I offer a complete money back gauruntee if you don't like it. However, no one to this day has ever been even slightly unhappy.
