You're certainly welcome to stop by. Be aware though that I sold the TAD's. I had some unexpected medical bills and something had to go. Sold the TAD's, Kept the Jube's.
I'm a mixture of tubes/SS. I run either a Peach tube preamp and a pair of Crown's or.... (like today), Peach mated with a dbx BX3 (4 channel amp) for the Jubilee's and one of my Crown's is used to power the Danley DTS-10's (one DTS on each channel) Currently though, the active crossover is out on loan as someone wanted to experiment and I keep the volume pretty tame in this apartment so sent it to him. Who needs a stinking pair of Danley's in an apartment anyways? |

I have 2010 Klipschorns and the backs are not enclosed. I believe only the 60th anniversary edition Klipschorns have enclosed backs.

Jubilee's have enclosed backs, and a number of people with Khorns have enclosed backs as well. But yes, Khorns from the factory, only the 60th Anniversary's got 'em.
Welcome, btw. Mike

All klipschorns need a corner to take advantage of the room gain. a conventional Speaker designed to be flat in a corner will lose over 9 db of output when placed on the floor in the center of a room below 100 cycles typically. Read about Mcintosh ML series speakers and why they needed a room equalizer. ML-2s were fairly flat if installed near a corner to 20 HZ. An ML1 needed almost 12 db of boost if hanging in free space. A Cornwall loves to be up against a wall and near a corner for best bass. Pulling it away into the room will cause its bass to falter and is an enclosed system. When K horn is in a corner of a room the corner is an extension of the horn, if removed from that corner even with a back the coupling is no longer their and the bass performance collapses. Then the only way to make bass is by brute force with massive cone area and long excursions, which totally defeats the idea of a Klipschorn. Then you need something like a Mcintosh XRT2k speaker system with a 2k amps. And totally defeats the klipschorn concept at 10 times the price for just the speakers.
