| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range A couple of people have mentioned Salk speakers in this thread. I would just add they are some of the more accurate speakers in the world, they use very high quality drivers with custom designed cross overs and Jim Salk makes some of the most beau... | |
| Hard to sell my Klipsch Heritage Speakers for a possible Harbeth upgrade. Been a Klipsch fan since I bought my first pair of Heresy's back in college in 1978. Fantastic speakers you could drive with just about anything. Kept them until I traded for a pair of Forte's in 1988. Still have those. Also had a great home theat... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under For $16k you can get a custom made pair of Salk Soundscape 12's. You won't find a better looking (will probably look better than the other furniture in your home) or better sounding speaker (assuming you want accuracy) for under $20k. They will pl... | |
| Speaker recomendation Hi OP, Hope you are still around. I had a similar space, 30' by 25' open kitchen and family room with a 12' ceiling. I bought a used Salk HT3 right / left / center and 15" Sub for about $6k used and run it with a couple of Crown Class D amps with ... | |
| Looking for speaker suggestions I have had two sets of Heresy's, have a set of Forte's I bought new in 1990 and have had Cornwall's as well. I now have a set of Salk Sound HT3's and they are just fantastic. If you can get a set used like I did, you can find them for $5k or less.... | |
| klipschorns, they kick ass for sure My 2 cents worth... Been a long time Klipsch fan. Started with a pair of Heresy's in college then moved up to Forte's in the mid 80's. I have also owned Cornwal's. I have never had any of the fully horn loaded versions like the KHorns or the La Sc... | |
| Buying Without Audition If you buy speakers that have a VERY flat frequency response, good quality drivers, good cross over design in a nice cabinet, you can get away without an audition. Mine are 34 - 20k hz +/- 1.5 db and 29 - 45k +/- 3 db. Hard to go wrong if the resp... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? There is a set of KEF Blade Demo's for sale for $19k. Those are pretty good sounding speakers. | |
| $16K new/used speaker question? Of course for that price, you could also get a custom built set of Salk SoundScape 8's or 10's in just about any veneer you can dream of. You won't find a better sounding speaker under $25k. | |
| SVS or Velodyne I have a Rythmic 15" in a custom cabinet built by Salk Sound. Great, super tight base that really digs deep. Of course the cabinet is probably a 30" cube made from 1" MDF with enough bracing inside so you can set a turntable on top it and never sk... | |
| Klipsch love them or hate them. Amazing that you can't tell at all when there was a 4 year jump, then a 5 year jump, suddenly you have gone from 2004 to 2016 and people are still complementing speakers that were first made more than 60 years ago. Cut them all you want, but point... | |
| Horn Speakers and Sub Woofers I have never had K-horns. Always been a big Klipsch fan though. I set up a home theater system with Cornwals as the front mains, Heresy for center, Forte's for the surrounds and some cheap plastic Klipsch for the rears. I used a Def Tech 15" power... | |
| Best speakers for $3000 I can't believe anyone mentioned Cerwin Vega in the same post as RF-7's. And any of you who think Klipsch speakers are a joke know nothing. RF-7's are very good speakers. Their Palladium line is as good as any speaker mentioned in this thread and ... | |
| Good looking Towers for < $2000? At least with the Ascend Towers you can try them in your home risk free for 30 days. I am in a similar situation, looking for new speakers and live in an area where there is not a decent dealer within 100 miles. So, I am also forced to use the wor... |
