Thinking about buying new speakers....the Elac Uni Fi5 towers or the Klipsch hersery lll
I have been living / selling / modifying Klipsch Heritage ( the Heresy is the smallest of the 5 models designed solely by PWK ) for 50 years, and with every other speakers I have owned, or have heard, these others always sounded boring, compressed... 
One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....
For me it was not all in the preamp. When I went passive ( Luminous Axiom Walker mod unit ), I began to hear all of my recordings for the 1st time. 
Best speakers in the 50-60k range ?
As a retired audio consultant, recommending and selling very expensive gear to folks who had money in every pocket, I always put some of the money into the room design. This included vibration and resonance control of the walls, floors and ceiling... 
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
Several excellent reviews are out. 
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
@florida71, you too are showing your ignorance, and individuality. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
@wolf, I hope you aren't still angry with me. @thehorn, I think you are pretty ignorant, and no question opinionated. Every speaker ever made, whether Klipsch or otherwise, shows a compromise in some way. Every speaker is made to a price point, an... 
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
Schubert, I know you were not kidding, which is why I responded. I an guessing, you never set up a pair ( or heard a pair ) in a consumers home, using proper electronics ( back then Mcintosh tube gear was the match ), and heard them play symphony ... 
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
Schubert ( and others that do not like Klipsch, or horns for that matter ), and what speakers are you listening to ? It is interesting, that from another room, my updated and modified Lascalas can sound like a live band, or orchestra, is in there ...

rubbersoul66, You meant to say " does NOT get damaged ". 
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
To clear the air, PWK designed the 5 original Heritage models, which are the Klipschorn, Belle, Lascala, Cornwall and Heresy ( and, all to a particular price point ). 
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
Interesting that he is saying " if you like female vocal, like Diana Krall, or other female vocals like her, I can see using this speaker ".  
Any avantgarde acoustic owners?
My buddy owned a pair of Duos, as he was convinced after hearing a pair of my modified Lascalas, he wanted and needed horns, and he always wanted to 1 up me ( he made much more money than I, and led a bachelor lifestyle, as opposed to having a fam... 
Another "Help me choose my speakers" thread
First of all, try to listen to as many as you can, since it is easy for us to recommend what we own or like. We are all different. On that note, look for a pair of " B " stock Klipsch Heresy IIIs. They will work with your Marantz ( very efficiant ...

" They really do have the potential of being great tube amps ". Do not understand what this means., as they are Class H, high powered ss amps..….. 
Does my amp have enough juice to power my speakers?
Schubert, at almost 65, I am experiencing some age and time related issues. Fortunately for me, my ears are still going strong. I traveled the NYC subway system for years; was in a band; a choir; was in the audio business; been listening since 7 y...
