Are The Klipsch Heritage Series Really Worthy?

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.
