Klipsch/Ojas
For anyone wondering about the Klipsch/Ojas collaboration. Mine arrived at long last, and are literally annoying the neighborhood at the moment. Speakers & stands come on a pallet and are incredibly well packed, insulated from damage and sealed from weather. Box setup is top notch; very well protected and logically put together. As for the speakers, some have complained about the poor cabinetry for the price.....however, pictures don't do them justice. Yes, they are purposely retro styled and assembled, and that might turn some off, but that is part of the intent here folks. They're intended to be a throwback to the way things were done 70 years ago. To me, the wood work is on par with other Heritage products, and that's a good thing. The horn has a bespoke quality, and the stands are machined and powder coated well, with quality hardware. One has to secure the horn to the top of the speaker, and then the speakesr to the stands. Not a big deal. How do they sound? Like a poor man's LaScala, and at far less size and weight. Very efficient, and don't lose composure with volume. Really have that je ne sais quoi character about them, and really startle you with a feeling of presence when cranking up a good live recording. If you're into horns and can live with the look, they are pretty fabulous, and well worth the asking. Act fast, they are limited production.
