hi everyone. my son is looking for a pair of these speakers old or new that will sound the loudest. he has a carver receiver that has 250 watts a chjanell. he likes his sound super loud. doesn't matter about accuracy. anybody out there have any advice?
Most Klipsch speakers will accommodate that desire. The model he would choose would depend upon how large his room is. If it's an average size, Heresy or Forte would be good. He won't need all of that power though.
If all you are interested in is loud, buy him some Cerwin vegas. Most klipsch speakers (especially heritage) are too high quality for what you propose. IOW, you would be wasting them on such a chore. Keep in mind that a pair of fortes or klipschorn will beat most contenders in their respective categories even today. ,
I agree with Ozzy. If volume is all that matters, Cerwin Vegas will fit the bill nicely, probably on the cheap as well. While Klipsch can certainly play loud, they are a more "musical" speaker that I have a certain reverence for. Certainly, if you could find a Craiglist bargain, go for it. Klipsch (depending on the model) will reward him with volume and fidelity...
