Warm, inviting, holographic, intimate,........take Klipsch off the list.
Check the crossover freq’s , where they are crossed at for the midrange and tweeter freq’s.
Beware metal dome tweeters, give a listen first.
not that they are bad, but some are set at a much higher frequency through t he crossover, and they can be a bit in your face,......only some, which is why “listening AND hearing speakers” before a purchase is the most important.
Bought mine from only a 10 min audition at a now closed box store.
Audition as much as you can..bring in your own amp if possible, your own music, tape, cd, LP, any good salesman will set up what you want to make the sale.
I know I did, worked at Barrett’s in a local shopping mall for a couple years, I was honest, believe it or not, told the people whole truths’
We carried some garbage audio at the time, and I was not gonna recommend fischer speakers, or a low level receiver by pioneer.
I would quietly send them to sound and vision audio just across the street. Who carried, carver, adcom, paradigm, Onkyo integra, pioneer elite, B&w, m&k, snell, etc etc......
a few times, the owner(s) of sound and vision, would walk in ask for me, and a private audition, just to chat with me about me being a “double agent” as they said, thanking me for sending business their way, as they were a small operation, and appreciated the business and traffic.
Back on track,.....sorry for the derail!
