klipshorn speakers
Thanks Chuck 😀I used the foam pipe insulation from the hardware store to create the seal on mine.  My feeling is the bigger the room the better they sound.  They seem to need space to open up but man do they ever fill a room.  The other great thin...

I'm running corner horns with 2 watts and  Soft Serve by Soul Coughing will punch you in chest and vibrate furniture.You realize premature deafness is a possibility with the sound pressure levels these can produce with very little wattage?

What is the #1 equipment want currently on your HiFi horizon???
So are you saying new wife? 
New Speakers $10K -$20K
