In reading your post , I must agree with you and have been saying this for the last 5 years or so. Just because one spends xx amount on a system doesnt guarentee good sound. While I dont have the Klipsch Corner Horns, I do have a pair of the older Fortes in the garage that I use for background music , but the main speakers in the house are the Klipsch KLF-30'S. If one wants to hear music, then SET amps and Klipsch speakers is the way to go, as it doesnt get any better than this!!
Enjoy the music,
Brad
Hi Brad, thx for your response. 1. Most people who own expensive solid state system haven't listened to a SET/horn system before, so they just don't know how such a system sounds (unawareness). 2. If you spend lots of money for a high end solid state system you are not eager to admit that a more older and cheaper system is better/more musical sounding, even if you know that (denial). 3. Most people think that the more expensive an audio system is, the better it should sound (self-delusion 1). It should because of (state-of-the-art) modern technology. They tend to compare old and modern audio technology to old and modern automobile technology (self-delusion 2). 4. Modern and solid state audio systems are more accurate and in that way they are better than less accurate old fashioned audio systems consisting of tube electronics and hornspeakers. If you want to hear real music, you should listen to the more accurate system, even if the sound is far from beautiful (self-torture?).
