Why not horns?

A question about Klipschorns.

How far do they extend in each direction along the walls away from the corner?

When viewed from above the K-Horn looks like home plate with the point going into the corner. The idea is for the bass to vent from the rear and use your room walls as an extension of the basshorn. While there is probably no more than 24 inches of cabinet adjoining the side and rear walls, you do want your walls to extend smoothly , without interruption well beyond the speaker cabinet if at all possible. I'm not sure that failure to do this is a game breaker, it is said to compromise bass performance. Maybe there's a K-Horn owner here who can refine my comments. I used to sell Klipsch in the late 80s and I can remember achieving pretty good results with a pair of K-Horns and a Levinson ML-9.

Try putting a wanted ad on Craigslist in your area. You never know but what somebody will give you a call.

Mapman: The bass extension of the k-horn depends on the length of the horn - which is the lenght of the corner in each direction. I believe that to get the full extension you need corners that extend 48 inches in each horizontal direction. False corners work just fine so long as there is a good connection to the speaker cabinet.

The speakers extend along the walls about 22' or so. However, due to the 'home plate' shape the part not touching the walls comes out aout 32 1/2". As I understand it, it is preferable to have a wall extend beyond the actual point of contact. With that said, I have one such wall, but the other is interrupted by a window a foot or two from the 22' extension. In the course of fiddling with my system, I have switched output sides a few times; haven't noticed any difference between the two sides. Just one comment re: the Lascalas. I liked the sound, but the stock Khorns have far superior bass.

i have windpw frames 21-22 inches from each corner. is this a problem if khorn is not perfectly flush against the wall
?
