Klipsch - share your thoughts

I built a set of Crites CornScala's... Best speaker I have ever owned. But, it's all in the ears..... 2K was perfect fit to the budget

Had the same Woofs as Lee's Khorns

Still have ‘em?!?

Just sold them last summer. Depending on the results of these Legacy Audio Focus, I may build another set.

I agree with WOPL Sniffer, the audio equipment of today is not as good as the vintage equipment we all remember in terms of fit/finish, components, and sound quality.
If you try and power the RP-800F's with that tube amp, you are going to be very disappointed.

I would look for a set of USA made vintage Heresy or Cornwall and not look back.

I think I’ve seen both those ads. If I knew I wanted a pair of either of those, I would snag a pair. But I just don’t know. At least if I get something new and I don’t like them, I can return them.

keep in mind I actually do like these 600m’s more than the Klipsch speakers I’ve heard before.

maybe I need to get off my butt and go see the Klipsch dealer in Maine. He has new and used gear. Maybe I should just chill, wait and save.

Best advice

chill, wait and save.

This is the dealer in Maine. Scroll down for photos- very cool shop!

I don't like dealer prices. Specially when all the parts and stuff are available for the older Klipsch. Mods too..... Buy from a good (GOOD) private seller, better deals to be had.

You gotta PAY for his building

I also owned two pairs of Heresy's , on pair on top of each k horn. I kinda liked what it did for the midrange with the 12" woof. Got em pretty reasonable too, in Denver, 150 a pair, now long gone. One set to my son, the other to a nephew.

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do to get what you need. I'll be Offing some gear to get a super nice Sansui Monster receiver...... Could be a WOPL, could be some Krell Stuff, could be a combo of????

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

OH, Remember, I'd never trade/sell/give away, a WOPL that I couldn't replace. I have a core amp and I am thinking long and hard about the build....... Maybe I'll aim the meters to the inside.

 

[Pure_Brew]

Appreciate the replies- thank you folks!
