Klipsch speaker choices
I think that you really need to play Klipsch speakers loud to enjoy what they do well. Of course there are any number of other horn systems that play as loud and have fewer significant shortcomings. To be fair most of these horns are more expensiv... 
Klipsch speaker choices
Do you consider mrd's responses respectful? He called my speakers "overpriced" even though he had only heard them at a show. I have heard Klipsch speakers at shows, at dealers and in homes.  
First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions
You can Google and find photos of this crossover. When I look at this thing I dont know if I should laugh or cry.  
The 5 stages of making a bad audio purchase
The realization that different isnt always better. And, perhaps, that bad recordings should sound bad (worse?) when played on a good system. 
First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions
Did someone earlier call Jim Thiel a genius and then reference his 5 model crossover? Look at this crossover and tell me this isnt actually the work of a designer concerned with only one aspect ignoring all else. All I can say is that this crossov... 
VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER!
VPI is at the bottom of my list for turntables. After having met Matt at Axpona last year it would be lower if this were possible.  
Atma-sphere Updates
I dont think we are discussing space age adhesives. More like cheap hot glue and double sided carpet tape. What Ralph is discussing is the questionable building practices he has seen with other components. I would assume he works on other products... 
What would be involved in updating Hersey II’s to Hersey IV’s?
Usually a sealed cabinet requires a larger cabinet. Obviously I dont agree and think that the Heresy and to a slightly lesser degree the Fortes dont sound like real music. I will give you the efficiency part, but all other aspects fall short of ot... 
What would be involved in updating Hersey II’s to Hersey IV’s?
To answer a few questions or address a few responses to my posts.Sorry but I guess you have to be a Klipsch fan to comment on any Kilpsch related post.  So funny that some would take criticism so seriously. True, I probably can come up with things... 
What would be involved in updating Hersey II’s to Hersey IV’s?
No doubt every speaker could benefit from mods, but Klipsch and mods are on an entirely different level than most or all other speaker brands of which I am aware.  
Moving speakers from downstairs to upstairs, degrading ?
Carpet over concrete is much better than hardwood floors although the greatest benefit will come from acoustic treatments on the walls and ceiling.  
What would be involved in updating Hersey II’s to Hersey IV’s?
If the new Heresy speaker are ported then I would gravitate toward the versions that are not ported. I feel that heavy mods on the Heresy is kind of like putting lipstick on a pig. 
Need Help, B & W 702 S2, KLIPSCH RF 7 III or Focal 926
Focal first and Klipsch last. 
Who needs a Preamp??
I have never been able to get a passive preamp or a direct connection to sound right. It seems like the drive of a good active preamp always improves the sound of my systems.  
Klipsch speaker choices
Edgy and dynamics are not the same thing and any experienced listener should be able to differentiate.I think you need to determine what you like and dislike about your Klipsch speakers and then determine what you think is intrinsic to the design,...
