Klipschorn speaker set-up

Rob what about the corner?

Klipschorns speakers are meant for the corners and building a false wall is no solution. I have a pair of Lascala speakers I could trade with you. You have to think of the wall as the other half of the speaker enclosure. I never thought klipschorn as good home theater speakers or do well with av receivers. I have a pair of klipschorns also and from trying every angle you can think of and including false walls the best location is the corners that what they were designed for and nowhere else.

Good luck

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.

That superior sound quality is afforded by corner speaker placement has been recognized for more than thirty years. Measurements and listening tests were conducted with both monophonic and stereophonic reproducing equipment to compare the performance of speakers designed for use away from a corner and for corner installation. Measurable and audible advantages accrue with corner placement of other speaker, with the greater improvement being shown by a speaker of proper design. The advantages are more easily observed for stereophonic than for monophonic reproduction.
