Are The Klipsch Heritage Series Really Worthy?

The mods I have made to my Lascalas are those to elimimate horn/box vibration and resonance. I find the stock crossover and drivers to be excellent. I made 50 lb bases/risers for them. I own them for a very long time and am extremely pleased. They are very musically involving, with all types of music. They sound great with smaller amplifiers and allow me to hear every upgrade prior in the chain. I do use a pair of powered subs. I have a room to accommodate their set up and my listening position. IMO at the price point(used)it is hard to find a more realistic sounding set of speakers. I use the term realistic, in comparison to live, unamplified music. I have been doing this for over 40 years, have had much equipment come my way, and I am quite happy. They do so much "right" and little "wrong". They soundstage and image wonderfully, but this would not be important if they were not harmonically right to the sound of instruments and voices, as well as that "most important" aspect of live music, that being prat and dynamics, which I have found lesser is systems so many more times up there in dollars(speakers and matching amps). So do I think they are a contender at the price point. You bet ! Br3098. I am completely with you. Keep enjoying !

yep they are worthy.

Awesome speakers with the right electronics. They have the dynamics of real music that very few speakers can match. There is a reason they've been popular for long. And when Klipsch discontinued the Corn Wall's, La Scala's and K Horn's for a period of time there was such an out cry that they brought them back as the heritage line and they continue to be some of the top selling speakers.

If audiophile speakers were described here as trophy wives, owning a set of Klipsch speakers is like marrying your 18-year old second cousin from Kentucky - it's not illegal, but is considered unseemly and undignified.

priceless

I would agree with most everything Br3098 posted here. I would also add the Cornwalls to his list, if you want something a little bit smaller for space reasons, I had to do. And some Klipsch fans actually prefer the Cornwalls to the La Scala's. I would love to have some K-horns someday, especially if I can ever have a dedicated room. The K-horn is the longest continuously manufactured speaker in existence, so a whole lot of folks think they are doing something right, that's for sure. I would emphasize what Br3098 said about the Klipsch Heritage line being great for accurate reproduction of instrumental timbres, and he is right on about texture as well. The music sounds much more life-like than many a speaker that "measures better." Numbers are not everything - trust your ears.
