I've long had a hankering for a setup with Klipsch corner horns. That would mean a larger room and therefore a larger home is needed. Best start saving pennies.

No idea how they actually sound. I just like the look of them in the large American 50s & 60s homes.

NVA amps, speakers, interconnects & speaker cables produce the music.

With help from Technics, Audio Technica, Jelco, Musical Fidelity, Cyrus & Soneteer.

I would commission Tomasz and Paul to build me the biggest badest phono and power amplifiers in the history of NVA. And probably some acrylic speakers with three isobaric twelve inchers, loads of 5 inch mids and tweeters in a super yummy line array.

And Alfi could build me a kick ass record deck (if i ask him nicely).

EV Patricians, JBL Hartsfields, Vitavox CN-191's are also corner horns that are worth checking out.

I read that Klipsch have changed the design of their latest Klipschorn model, so that they don't have to be placed in corners...

Always liked those.

Could have bought one years ago, but thought it a bit pricey at the time so walked away.
