I've had many types of monitors, tower speakers like Salk towers but none of them image like the old Klipsch.    All the older Klipsch Speakers have that 3D sound stage to them.  Close your eyes and you feel like you are there.   My Kefs may be more accurate but they don't image the same.   They don't have that WOW what kind of speakers are those effect.

Have a pair of KG4 and Chorus 1s.   They image like crazy and more more air than the new speakers with the multi but tiny drivers.


Call them what you want most people when they listen to them have the WOW effect. They sound live. When you go to a real concert you don’t see a bunch of tiny speakers you see speakers with large drivers. If you want a live sound the Klipsch do much better than most.

Do you see people at a concerting saying "gee they sound different than my monitors at home" They don’t sound colored or harsh to me, but some peoples ears are more sensitive than others. There is not wrong or right to it but people saying things like colored and looking down on Klipsch because of this are not being realistic. And are over exaggerating things just a bit.

To me, all my monitor type speakers sound flat and one dimensional in comparison. Yes they might be more accurate on paper but they fail on the WOW department.

I am talking about the OLD Klipsch not the new stuff.
