I owned them for years and really enjoyed them with all genres of music. They can be played very loud, but that's not their finest virtue. If you have the space and a good system preceding them, there will be beautiful music. Maybe not the most accurate, but beautiful.
Thanks ozzy62. I wonder how many of the ignorant comments about Khorns here are being made by people who have never even heard a pair.
In 1978, I was playing my vintage 1976 Khorns extremely loud (Cheap Trick Live at Budokan) and I fried both woofers. I didn’t damage the tweeters or midranges which does seem strange now. At that time, I called Klipsch, and they sent me two new drivers for free! I was using a McIntosh MC 2100 at the time of the incident.
