Are The Klipsch Heritage Series Really Worthy?

Reading my post after the fact, I wanted to clarify something. The basement experience I talk about had the "original" corners way too far apart. The "secondary" corners that were "built" along that same wall were to bring them closer together, with the listening position as the determining factor for their final build.

My LaScalla II's were 4K brand new just 3 yrs ago. The MKII versions have addressed many of the issues of the original versions. I have not modded them in any way. I knew they would need a sub when I purchased them but even if you factor in the cost of the 2 Velodyne DD10PLUS subs I have you still get amazing sound for the dollar. You could buy used LaScalla's for under 1K, those are the ones being modded. And the only reason guys are modding them is because they are 20 to 30 yrs. old and need a rebuild anyway. If you have the room that works for them you would have to spend a pile of money to better them. IMHO

yes, they are worthy.

Just don't try to fit a square peg to a round hole. Like most gear, they require proper setup and associated electronics to shine. I would want to run them off a tube amp of some sort for best results.

great speakers, I like the KHorns best, because they have such a great lower end, in the right room.

My all time favorite Rock n Roll speaker, and I love the sound when matched with McIntosh gear.

Khorns playing Who's Next on a Technics SP-10II through a Mac C22 preamp, and MC240 amp, dude, that' just strong.

Macdadtexas, you speak the truth ! If I had the luxury to build a room around Khorns, and to "get them and the room right",I definitely would. This is a reason for the popularity of the Lascala. Most Lascala owners would own Khorns otherwise, ime. JohnK, are you listening....
