Tomtab, I'm glad you like the speakers, I think you may not have meant to but pushed people off the track with the clean out your ears commentary. People love to get excited and defensive. I get what you are saying and I think its informative.
klipschorns, they kick ass for sure
hello folks. for those out there that think the big klipschorn's are not good enough to be a high end quality speaker, guess what?? your wrong!! I have been in audio for over 40 years. I have heard many speaker systems over the years. I have very good speakers now in my home. I have good equipment running them. I picked up a pair of k-horns last week. 1986 model year. replaced the crossovers with crites xovers. one tweeter blown. replaced both with ct120 tweeters from crites. hooked them up to my parasound 3500 amp ( yes, way overkill ) but I wasent in the mood to move it. speakers placed where they are supposed to be in the corners of the room. well let me tell you all it took was 2 minutes to decide these things are the bomb. I dident hear any of the stuff I been reading about over the last 30 years how these speakers are harsh, no good bass and everything else everybody says about them. as far as im concerned they are clean, clear, crisp, and loud. did I say loud. volume starts a 7 o'clock, at 9 o'clock your ears start to bleed. I guess the 350 watts into a speaker that only needs 20 will do that. and all the stuff I hear about ss amps these speakers don't like. only 30 watt tube amps will do or you will hear all kinds of noise. well, all I can say is bull crap to that. what I here is a speaker sounding better then just about anything else I ever heard. I played rock,jazz,classical, all passed with flying color's. all I can say is you guys out there that think they suck. have your ears cleaned out and go listen again. yes, the 350 watt power house is going to go before I blow everything up.
