Zellaton:Open backed enclosure

[TitaniumTroy]

Going through the 2011 RMAF I found these interesting speakers, they use an open backed enclosure and are made in Munich Germany.

Interesting. Seems kinda contradictory to have such a massively constructed enclosure, which is usually done to reduce vibrations of anything but the driver, and yet to leave the back open... ?

Crazy Germans! I would still love to take a listen though.

A little different in the design and construction philosophy, but the Legacy Whisper's are also a departure from the norm.

You beat me to it Dennie. I think even some of the older Heresys were like that too.

Like what, open backed or exploded? :confusion-scratchheadyellow:

Sorry....openbacked. I don't think the K-horn and LaScala are the only Klipsch speakers that are openbacked. I think the first Heresys were like that. If not, then maybe it was the Cornwalls.

 

[PaulyT]

The Heresy I's I have are sealed... no ports or open back.

 

[Dennie]

The Khorns are the only opened back speaker that Klipsch makes, as far as I know. The La Scala is a folded horn bass bin and does not require the corner to complete the bass bin as the Khorn does.

I don't know of Corn's or Heresys that were opened backed?

Here's the Klipsch Jubliee, it is also a folded horn and needs no wall to complete the bass bin....
