Hard to sell my Klipsch Heritage Speakers for a possible Harbeth upgrade.

To the OP, try to get a listen to the Harbeths, or any model of similarity. As already mentioned, they are quite different. As a listener, as Charles so elequantly stated, you need to determine what it is YOU want, in a system. I have heard many systems , and I owned quite a bit of everything, and I have determined two things. ( 1 ) I know I am listening to recorded music through my systems, and trying to pretend they are not recordings, is ultimately rediculous. ( 2 ) I have determined I like good horns, as they give me attributes that I like. Detail, dynamics, effortless momentum of the musicianship, good tonal rendition, coherence between drivers, believable imaging and spatial presentation, and ultimately, the ability to recreate musical peaks without the common signs of compression. I also achieve all this with high quality smaller wattage amplifiers, as they always sound better to me than larger similar designs. I own Klipsch, and I am an expert of modifications. I prefer your Cornwalls, and if you dampen the horns, as mentioned by tomic, and further brace the cabinets, you will take them to another level. Btw, the Chorus is not part of the Heritage series, as an fyi. Over at the Klipsch site, you can get a lot of information if you decide to stay with them. However, only your ears will tell you what you want. Not reviewers, not other posters, including me, no one, but you. Trust your ears. Enjoy ! MrD.

@analogluvr thank you sir. @mindlessminion, at least you determined which you prefer between the 3 pair of Klipsch. Dampen the horns of the Chorus, if those will be the ones to keep. I have bought and sold so much in my lifetime, I would never tell anyone not to do it. Get the Harbeths. @ozzy62, I certainly miss my Khorns, and, the room I had them in ( long story with that house ). My Lascala pair and a pair of powered subs ( yes, I found a pair that blends well and keeps up with the bass horns ), does a great job of feeding me my audio pleasures, but if I had my druthers, I would be back with the khorns. What I will say, however, and I have said it before : To each his / her own. No one is right or wrong about any of this. It is all personal, and, we all have our opinions. Enjoy ! MrD.
