Klipschorn: Still relevant??

Postscript: Has anyone experienced Cary SETs with Klipschorns?

Telescope - thanx for the insightful words. One question that comes to mind after reading your post is; is there any meaningful way to determine what the "right" amp is? I've heard that quite a few times now.

MacDadTX - Thank you too, if you check the Klipsch site like I did you'll notice that their Heritage collection is still comprised of the original lineup and they're still cranking 'em up. Although, I understand they're not cheap.

Well, it certainly appears that the Khorns are worth a try. I'm going to listen to a pair this weekend I think. For those of you who have or are willing to chime in, can you comment on how fussy they are with regards to room and placement?

Onhwy61; "...,no - the Klipsch will not be better than what you have if by better you mean higher levels of fidelity." Yes, that is exactly what I mean. This is getting to the point of my original thread. Can you please expound on this a bit? What are the strengths of my current system, IYO, compared to a SET/Khorn system. Thanx much.

Onhwy61; Well, I was hoping no one would ask me that. Because, I don't have a good answer. There is some truth in the observation however that I'm just changing to change. I'm mostly curious. I don't have a HiFi store near me, I've never been to a HiFi show, and I don't know anyone that is into this hobby. So, right now, the grass on the other side that I've only read about seems greener. I might have a really great sounding system but, how do I know? Yeah, I like it but, I might like something else more right? I listen to about 60% acoustic music (orchestral, jazz, bluegrass, pop/rock) and 40% EVERYTING else. The only legitimate complaint I have about my current system is the room. And, I can change that. With this thread, and everyone's valuable experience and insight I'm really hoping to mitigate the risk in selling off what might be a good system for another that I won't enjoy as much. You make a persuasive point that I should sit tight. Ignorance IS bliss. This damn Audiogon!!!!

I just wanted everyone to know I appreciate the passionate responses and am digesting them all thoroughly.

Robm321, I guess that depends on what people are currently using. I think I have a nice pair of speakers but, want to move to SET amps. My current speakers won't work well with low powered speakers and I need a reasonably priced pair of high efficiency speakers.

Macdadtexas, was that last question directed at me?

Yes! I'm definitely changing. My equipment is listed right now. However, that particular pair of Klipshorns I was interested in are no longer available. :^(
