I don't know much about new Klipsch speakers and the only three I have heard was the Forte III, La Scala III, and Jubilees. The Jubilees were outstanding and far better than the other two. I have gone through a lot of older Klipsch gear and my favorites if you can find them are Chorus speakers. Forte I and II are nice. Never much cared for Cornwalls. La Scalas are great and the old ones built with real plywood the new ones MDF. Older pro gear like KP-450's or 456's are outstanding for home theaters or just two channel music.
They beat most things you will hear but at that age require rebuilt crossovers since those deteriorate over time. Newest Klipsch have personally owned is probably from the late 80's and I would only consider the Heresy, Forte, Chorus, La Scala, Belle or KHorn. Other smaller speakers were made back then too but I don't like them. On the other hand those Jubilees I mention are old school sound and are really something and if you are buying new and have the money half the price of KHorns. Twice the sound to.
