IF one can divorce oneself from opinion, the Klipsch originals attempted to solve one of the pillars of reproduction: dynamic range. At the time, there were very few large power amplifiers. Paul used walls and proper engineering to get inexpensive drivers/horns to work properly together and achieve some decent levels. I was a LaScala owner from the mid 70s who swore by them. It was a bit disappointing a few years figuring out they were using shockingly low cost OEM EV midrange horns and drivers and EV horn tweeters. It all goes to show that proper engineering and efficiency (wider dynamics) can win a lot of sonic arguments.
Today I'd like to think the advances in speaker design are being accomplished by focusing on driver distortion, crossover improvements ["active"] on top of efforts to achieve realistic dynamic range,
