Klipschorn: Still relevant??


I'm interested in stirring the pot which is my current system. Please see my system for more details but, in summary, I'm conteplating moving from a Cary beam power/triode & Von Schweikert VR4JR based system to a SET/Klipschorn system.

In general, would you consider the move to be "better" or just different. Or worse?? Better being defined as higher fidelity for most types of acoustic music.

Really curious. Your opinion matters! I have to buy most of my equipment without hearing it and have to rely on reputations, opinions, reviews, etc.

Thanx

Larry510, you're the one who claims the CARs may be a little better than your Cornwalls. Others might not be so kind.

Pawlowski, do yourself a favor. Don't change anything. There are better systems than yours, some might even be less expensive than what you spent, but ultimately what difference does any of that make as long as you like the way your system performs. If you need a point of reference, then start a post about starting an audiophile club. There could be dozens of people who live near you in the same situation you are. If that doesn't work, take a vacation and visit some manufacturers factories. Most factories have really good reference systems that they might let you listen to. Call ahead of time and make arrangements. The cost of the travel is way less than the time, effort and money spent swapping out equipment that makes other people happy.
hi

Onhwy61, your missing the point. The man asked about Khorns which can be bought used from 1550 to 2500 dollars. The speakers you referred to were 4x as much.
Larry510, why should he spend up to $2,500 to get inferior overall sound than what he already has?

either i didnt explain well enough or you misunderstood,either way here is what i meant,i do believe that set up & matching systems is important but what i dont believe is this.

just about everytime somebody says that they are unhappy with the sound from klipsch gear & or tube gear we all hear the same thing,there must be somthing wrong with the set up,for somebody to just throw that out there without ever hearing the system is silly & usually a self serving justification of their own gear.

what i think is bs is that alot of guys cant come to grips that klipsch & tubes really isnt bliss for everybody & make excuses as to why the owner is unhappy with his sound.

hi,

Onhwy61

have you heard the two side by side ? if not your opinion means nothing

Now Pawlowski6132 can do just that if he wants. Buy a pair of horns for about 2000 listen to both and sell the one he wants to. If he sells the horns he'll get what he paid for them
