Today's Klipschorns
Does anyone knows the Klipschorns today have closed backs (like the 60th Anniversary Edition)?
Please advise as over here, there's not a chance Klipschorns are available for audition. So, never will have the chance to check on back of the speaker. Thanks.

I have no idea about the current models. The design that was originally intended to replace the Khorn as the Klipschorn II, does have an enclosed back. (you can search on Jubilee if you care to)
Unfortunately, with PWK's passing, the Jubilee never made it into the residential lineup. It was put into their cinema lineup. Might be worth noting that the Jubilee has historically been available for a similar expense (possibly even less) than a new pair of Klipschorns. |

Unknown with the current Khorns. I would say, "No."
I owned the 60th Anniversary Khorns which were sealed in the back but ended up selling them. Khorns are very room dependent and need to be placed right up in the corner so I am not sure why you are so concerned about whether they are sealed in the back. I also owned the LaScala II's which were very nice speakers. If only I knew about electronic crossovers and subs at that time. |

If you don't have 2 corners, the Khorns may not be right for you.
LaScalas would be a better option |

Such an odd request. A Closed back Klipschorn. Well, If that is what you want. Have fun with the hunt.
Can you relate to use why you seek the closed back version of the Klipschorn? |

My 60th anniversary Khorns still needed corners. IMHO - If you want Khorns and don't have two good corners, I would suggest LaScala II's, a pair of JL audio subs and a active crossover. Rob |
