Klipschorn AK7

[Bones13]

Has anyone heard the new K-horn? Most of the reviews are just regurgitated Klipsch press releases. I now have a room appropriate for these. I’m going to listen to some Devore O/93 (neither the O/96, nor O/Bronze is available) speakers this weekend, having listened to the previous K-horn AK6 at a vinyl bar.

Not planning on the active crossovers (with 4 additional amps) at this point.

Not ruling out sourcing a used Klipschorn, and upgrading with Volti audio parts. But those speakers are a good bit heavier than I am comfortable schlepping around.

We’ve brought in some of the new Klipsch models. Very nice!

I have. And I've owned the Cornwalls and La Scala's.

The issue is the cabinets keep getting lower quality and resonance becomes a huge issue. It was so bad on my La Scala's I sold them.

The Klipsch very much has its own distinct presentation - people either love it or hate it. The other speakers you mention will sound nothing like the KH.

These are definitely speakers you'll want to listen to first. I personally would buy used and upgrade. That IMO will yield a far superior sound.

The speaker have got fantastic potential that for a few dollars more could be realized. They just choose to jack up the prices will not dealing with the real issues of the speakers.
