KLIMAX Anyone...!!

A Reviewer friend of mind was over last night. He is writing an artical a servious pubication and hasn't been impressed with the Klimax in his system.He has seen the many positive reviews which don't add up to what he is hearing. He brought the Klimax with him for a listen in my system. We sent several hours listening to my system on a variety of music. Then sustubited the Klimax's for my Audio Note Ankuros. We could listen to these for no more than 45 minutes until we screamed turn them off. They fried our brains too bright, too thin, and non musical. There are fast, but who cares.

Eldragon raises good points. The pair of Klimax's listened to my house was under a serious handicap because of an instant comparison situation vs a long-term evaluation period. This pair had in use for at least 2 months by the reviewer in his system. My system has dedicated 20 amps ac line to the amps and no line conditioner was used. The only conclusion I reached was that they didn't sound as good as what we had been listening to for 5 hours, but that doesn’t mean much. So many factors come into play that one must be careful and do your own evaluations in your systems. It was just an interesting opportunity and we took advantage of it.
