| Is it good to upgrade the crossovers in your speakers? Arguments about issues with sensory perception is problematic here, confirmation bias exists with all equipment, whether oem or modded, it can always exist.

| Has anyone heard the newest version of the Klispschhorm? Superchargers and turbos do accomplish the same without increase in displacement, but then the old saw as to no replacement for displacement could still hold as one could add supercharger or turbo and the greater displacement together.

| The Music at AXPONA 2022 Best times I ever had at shows was the rare invite to listen after hours, these guys actually play good music then. Have a few cocktails, no incessant talking by attendees, way to get spoiled. | |

| Has anyone heard the newest version of the Klispschhorm? @waytoomuchstuff No more 'boosting' for me at the moment.

| Has anyone heard the newest version of the Klispschhorm? My Klipschorns are fully modded, I did have issues with both mids and highs in my 80's era KH in stock form. I've not heard the newest KH, but Klipsch has been making strides in improving timbre/tonality with latest Heritage models. | |
