Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?

Sorry you didn’t pick up on my sarcasm.  Klipsch is a fine company.  Tough to get on the phone sometimes but they got me up and running right away 

I once purchased a pair of Klipschorn just for the name. My wife thought that they were some magic show prop.

That’s the only positive thing I could recall about Klipschorn.

I purchased a pair of Klipschorns without ever listening to a pair of any of the Klipsch lineup, past or present. It was worth the outlay of $2300 as the Klipschorns for all their faults, there are equally positives added to the mix of these loudspeakers and other Klipsch's I assume. 

The klipschorn is capable of first class reproduction in the right room with the right ancillaries. Sometimes I just have to shake my head at how good a pair of 40 yr old speakers with “dated” technology can reproduce music in my listening room. It shouldn’t be so,  it there it is

I believe the takeaway here is Klipsch might have it’s faults ( what doesn’t ), but they do more right, musically, than anything else at their respective price points ( to us fanboys ). And for those who understand the weaknesses, and know the secrets ( they aren’t secrets if you know where to get the information ) of how to minimize, or even eradicate, the nasties inherent in the original designs ( and I am still only talking about the 5 original Heritage models ), they are truly wonderful. Even stock, they are wonderful ( but maybe not with a Crown DC300 driving them, lol ). It is unfortunate many folks still have bad things to say about them. Still, Maggies, Vandys, Martin Logans and box type speakers will continue to have their followers and fanboys, and that, folks, is the wonderful world of audio. For a variety of listeners, there are a variety of speakers ( as well as everything else that makes up a system ). Everyone, just Enjoy the Music ! MrD.
