Are The Klipsch Heritage Series Really Worthy?

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....

Mr. Dirt Thanks for you information. Appreciate and value the fact you own them and are pairing them up with some pretty fine gear. I sold Klipsch in the 1970's however I forgot how they sounded. I mostly sold the K-horn, Belle Klipsch. I herd one pair of La Scala's back in 1975 in the client's home and at the time I remember them sounding big and fun, however I had drinks prior to hearing and now 31 years later I'm trying to recall. I do remember one critical point. Any, and I mean any aberration in the signal, you're going to magnify. Never was to forgiving and I think that holds true today. A lot of folks don't understand horns and high effeciency in this regard.

Those modifying are not rebuilding because loudspeakers need repair mostly there doing so to improve performance and correct flaws. I also disagree that the new Klipsch models are equal to original heritage series. And since so many quality K horns about why not vintage K horn with upgrades over new Klipsch reproductions.

I agree with John K that certain upgrades for the Heritage series are to minimize and / or eliminate problems in the basic design, not in the repair of a broken product. It is my opinion that most audio products out there can be approved upon, even the very expensive gear, to squeeze out every last bit of performance.
