How far apart should Klipschorns be?
Ideally the corners should be at least 8′ but less than 20′ apart with the ability to place the listener at least as far back from the plane of the speakers as they are apart. In situations where the Klipschorns will be greater than 20 feet apart a proper stereo image may not develop between your speakers.
Are Klipschorns any good?
Klipschorn plays loud, big, hard and brutal, and with sufficient amplifier power they can almost knock down the walls with a sound that is much fatter than the one you get for concerts. At the same time, they also manage to play low with conviction, and they never sound sharp, just big and massive.
How many ohms is a Klipschorn?
Klipsch specifies the Klipschorn’s nominal impedance as “8 ohms compatible.” This is optimistic: Not only does the speaker’s impedance magnitude (fig. 1, solid trace) drop to 3 ohms in the midbass and 2.7 ohms in the upper bass, but the electrical phase angle (dotted trace) is sometimes extreme.
How does a Klipschorn work?
The Klipschorn is a three-way design where each driver is coupled to a horn. Many horn speakers designs exist, including at the very high-end, but this is the only one where all the drivers – woofer, midrange, and tweeter – are coupled to horns.
How much do Klipsch horns weigh?
The Klipschorn AK6 is a three-way, fully horn-loaded loudspeaker of considerably greater-than-average size and sensitivity: It measures approximately 53″ high by 31″ wide and 28″ deep, tips the scales at 220 lb each, and is said to require only 1W of power to produce a sound pressure level of 105dB, which is on a par …

Although the Klipschorn’s basic design is more than seventy years old, it has received periodic minor modifications.

How far apart do Klipsch speakers need to be?
I am surprised Klipsch allowed you test them in that room with the speakers only 8′ apart with listening distance even less. I sold the Klipschorn house in 2019 and now only have tiny rooms and/or no suitable corners, so they are not hooked up. Why am I telling you this?
How many screws are in a Klipsch bass horn?
Here’s some Klipschorn advertising copy from the October, 1965 Audio magazine (pg. 77) which describes the construction of the bass horn: The construction of this horn is beyond compare. Nearly 288 screws, plus other fastening devices, plus high -grade adhesives, are used to make the horn as rigid as possible.
How long has the Klipschorn been in production?
As the only speaker in the world to be in continuous production for over 65 years, the Klipschorn has remained relatively unchanged since its inception. We still make them by hand just the way Paul W. Klipsch used to.
