Let&#8217;s start with some basic facts about this remarkable pair of Khorns:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The condition is excellent. Very minor surface blemishes which you can see (barely) in the photos. They look spectacular and from a couple of feet away look like the day they were born. No rips, snags, dents in the grills\/covers. Original crossovers, AK 3.<\/li>\n<li>They&#8217;re big, however, they take up surprisingly little space in the room due to their corner placement requirements.<\/li>\n<li>I won&#8217;t ship these. If you want to buy them you&#8217;ll need a pickup truck or van and a helper to move them. I have a bad shoulder and can&#8217;t lift. Getting them out from the house is very easy, with no stairs involved.<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;re welcome to come along for a demo. I don&#8217;t know what amps I&#8217;ll have on hand, but at the time of writing, I have an Art Audio Carissa Signature and an Aric Audio Special KT88\/120 SE which can be used for a demo.<\/li>\n<li>I purchased these from the original owner who told me he bought them new in 1993. I cannot confirm this one way or another.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How do the Klipschorns sound?<\/h3>\n<p>I have the Khorns set up in a room that is probably a little too small for them. The room is roughly 16&#8242; x 17&#8242; x 8.5&#8242; and, of course, the speakers are in the corners. Regardless of the room constraints, the Klipschorns sound quite spectacular. Adjectives that come to mind include dynamic, effortless, and powerful. They throw a remarkably accurate soundstage with a good sense of scale and accurate image placement. They do not throw laser-focused images in the way that a small monitor speaker does, but the images they do present are more believable, more life-like, and more accurate than those portrayed via a smaller dynamic speaker. Soundstage depth is a function of room geometry and associated equipment. They have less front-to-back stage depth than some of the more conventional dynamic speakers I&#8217;ve used, hence there isn&#8217;t the same degree of soundstage layering. This may be a function of the room geometry or a design constraint of this specific speaker, I don&#8217;t have the experience with Klipschorns to say one way or another.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, the Klipschorns are one of the most impressive speaker systems I&#8217;ve heard, and this pair are crying out for a better home than I can give them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Local Pickup ONLY.
