The very first speakers I made an investment in were a pair of Heresys in 1977, which I still own. I dropped out of audio because my system was good enough. Then I got sucked back into it 3 years ago. I always dreamt of K-horns and La Scalas. I bought a pair of 1978 La Scalas last year after buying a polite system for the WAF with VSA VR2s 3 years ago. The first speakers I looked at were the newer Klipsch which are terrible all around. The kicker is that I still adored my horns as raucous as they were, because I like my music fairly loud. I even bought a vintage Mac to go with them. I was happy. My wife set me up with a listening room in the basement (nice). So yes I loved them. While I was auditioning speakers for the living room I ran across JM labs,but couldn't afford them. I eventually got a great deal on a pair of 937s and finally found the right amps for them. Now I hardly feel like listening to the Klipsch. They are simply too shrill and lack definition, air, tone and are boxy. Do I hate them no, they will always have some appeal after 25 years of listening to them, but I don't love them anymore.
