Klipschorn speaker set-up

After much thought what about the corners?

The size of the room has a lot to do with the effect more than you think, stereo is a funny squirrel burring his nuts all over your back yard. At lower volumes you probably enjoy the stereo effect more than at high volumes when at the corners. Slightly angle your K horns from the corner in either direction just a twist, see what happens. If your room is squire your speakers fire the sound into each other almost canceling and stereo effect.

The problem is the directional k400 horn and k-77 tweeter. The solution a midrange that more open like the altec Lansing 811b 511b and any other B. and a tweeter that has less forward focus.

no base response without corner set-up

"Klipschorns speakers are meant for the corners and building a false wall is no solution."

Paul Klipsch used false corners in his living room. I built a pair and they worked quite well.

Of course it wuill work, as the false corners will provide the necessary mouth to the folded horn for them to perform properly (of course room modes will be different so it won't sound exactly the same as in the room corners but it will work - imaging can be better too).

Tiger, ever notice that any sound science gets quickly refuted on these forums...

Thanks for the feedback. The very odd thing is that base response is quite good even when not in the corners.

Have any of you with K-Horns experimented with bringing them out of the corners and closer together for a more distinct center image?

Also, I am curious about those of you with K-horns and your opinion of imaging (and in particular the center 'stereo image').

I will post some pictures of my listening room for additional comments...thanks.

Any thoughts?
