I once bought a pair of the large Klipschhorns at an estate sale.
I couldn't use them because:

     My living room does not have two adjacent corners

     My wife hit the ceiling so hard that the chandelier fell down

I quickly gave them to a friend at a loss.

Great sound though with only !0 watts of triode power.
