Before the Restoration
Here’s what they looked like when I first got them.
The Khorns are from 1974, sold as birch raw with “C” style cabinet.
Restoration Process Photos
I didn’t take too many pictures of the restoration process with this project. If you’re interested in more detail, please visit the “Mkhorn” webpages.
I also had another pair of Khorns in the shop for restoration, so I was prepping all the speakers at the same time.
Fresh Out of the Shop
Here they are fresh out of the shop before the grills were put on. As I often do, these were changed to a “B” style cabinet with the riser and extra plate that separates the top horn section from the bass bin.
Custom La Scala Center Channel
The La Scala was heavily modified. I cut the top horn section off the cabinet and cut new pieces to build the top section to mimic the Khorn.
I can build La Scalas from scratch, just like these, if anyone’s interested.
