    I have for sale a pair of vintage Vitavox Klipschorn CN191 speakers. These arte in fantastic condition and have the original alnico magnets. They are big and offer a massive sounstage with plenty of bass.

    I'm asking £6500 plus delivery. These are very heavy and big!

    Are these corner fitting units? - they do look nicer than my klipschorns for sure which my wife hates. She says they look like cheapo fishtank wood.

    How do they compare with 1980 KH's?

    Yes they are corner units. These are british made Vitavox Klipschorns and weigh about 100kg each.

    I have not heard lather ones. But what i have read on the net these are the ones to have. I may have them too cheap.

    I wish I could, but sadly I'm due a phase of downgrading:( Baby on the way and all that. Also my listening room only has one usable corner!

    I have 5 children now aged between 4 and 11. Its never stopped me having hifi.

    a pitiful excise if you ask me:baby::baby::baby::baby::baby:

    Well at least you can train the child for the next generation audiophiles:)

    Its the wife that stopped me having hifi.

    Indeed, who do you think is the motivator! I'll still have one, but selling mine will provide a month or so's income, when we're missing one. That's the only reason really.

    It would be great pity if these were to be lost to the UK :(.

    As a lad I used to lust after these but never saw any for sale and had these come up for grabs whilst I was still gainfully employed (retired in 2004) I'd have snapped them up :).

    Best,
    Keith.
