Man, this was long time ago, but here goes. I had just gotten ripped off by the local music store owner for a pair of John Zeer speakers. I lost $380 of really hard to earn dollars back in 1975. That got me starting to look at the other end of the spectrum. If JZ was crap, then what was the best (according to a high school junior)? From what I could gather in my cowtown in Wyoming, it was the K horns. Great, how much? Too much for me. Then I discovered Speaker lab in Seattle. They had a kit in which you could copy the Khorn design called the Speaker lab K. Ok, so I built the pair in my senior year in woodshop. Everybody was shaking their heads. Why was the driver inside the cabinet like that?
When finished, I was to never hear bass like that ever again. The midrange and tweeter horns were ok, mind you but the bass was pant leg rattling. What more fun could any high school kid have than to own a pair of these?
