Is it time that Klipsch Heritage marketing a subwoofer?

In a recent review, influencer/reviewer Andrew Robinson said that he thinks it’s high time Klipsch designed and marketed a subwoofer for use with its Heritage line products. I fully agree!

For years I’ve thought Klipsch should do this. There are many folks running subwoofers with Heritage speakers. Dialing in subs with Heritage products can create a loudspeaker system that can take your breath away. What’s more, it seems like Klipsch is (a) losing out on sales of subwoofers here; and (b) could design the products to work specifically well with its Heritage speakers.

 

All thoughts and opinions welcome, but if you hate horns, hate Klipsch, etc. please move on and let those on this thread suffer.

PS Please forgive the grammatical error in the title. Audiogon won't let you edit titles (still).

I think the point would be a <$1k sub generically designed isn't as attractive to someone shelling out $6k, $12k, $25k for the upper end of Heritage speakers. I'm talking about a sub designed to compliment the Heritage line specifically. Certainly there was no sub in 1957. Some of the tech in the Heritage line wasn't around in 1957 as well.  Corvettes didn't have anti-lock brakes in the 50's either. 

I think it's time for Klipsch to do it.  The bass rolloff on so many models leaves much to be desired, and for every Heritage lover that says I have tons of bass coming out of my LaScala, Cornwall, etc., there are plenty others who use quality subs with them that are not in Klipsch's other lines.

@bigburban ,  you are correct!  Wow. That system is pretty cute and good looking.  But, not what we were looking for specifically.
