Klipsch Shorthorn S-WO-15 // Vintage Horn Speakers / Rare and Magnificent

It's rare and exciting when we come across a pair of vintage Klipsch speakers that we haven't had the pleasure of listening to or restoring. So when we found this absolutely stunning pair of original Shorthorn 15's, a speaker that we had actually never even seen, we just couldn't leave them behind. The wood is amazing (except for a small burn mark on one of the tops). The cloth is unstained. And all of the drivers and crossovers are completely original. These are the epitome of the term "Collector's Piece". PRODUCTION 1959 CONDITION 9/10 SERIAL NO. 1030/1090 ORIG. MSRP 335.0 RESTORATION

DOCUMENTATION

LINER NOTES These speakers were inspected and tested by Portus Gilley and Lloyd McClellan, two of PWK’s earliest employees. The three-way Heritage Series, small corner horn named the Shorthorn 15 was first introduced in 1956 and manufactured by Klipsch until 1965. While no longer in production Shorthorn 15 model loudspeakers are still owned and listened to by Klipsch fans around the world.
