klipshorn speakers

It is hard for me to imagine listening to a Khorn w/o serious modifications. Some of the inherent problems of this speaker in stock form (older models) just get worse as volume is increased. Some of these mods arent terribly expensive.

Try Legacy, Heritage or one of the more expensive floor standing ones

my son doe's not care about accuracy of a speaker! he just want's to hear his music 'loud'!!!!!

I like russ69’s advice, and you can also get Belle Klipsch’s if you want a better looking speaker.

I sold Klipsch’s when I was in college and I sold more Belle’s and La Scala’s than K-horns because they were much easier to place in a room.

Another consideration is the fact that your son is likely to move multiple times during his career and Belle’s/La Scala’s will be much easier to place in a new room. The best sounding Klipsch system I ever sold was a pair of Belle’s to a wealthy doctor who had a 60’ x 30’ listening room, but no corners. He powered them with an Audio Research power amp and in his room, they were the BEST SOUNDING Klipsch’s I ever head.

And I believe jasonbourne52 makes a good point with his JBL recommendation. Less expensive, somewhat similar sound, and MUCH EASIER to move.

As always, YMMV😎

Well, I have been posting this sentence for several years, so I guess I should win multiple-year awards.

Tell you what, go to your Klipsch dealer and listen to a spoken voice and then do it with, oh, I don't know, an ACCURATE speaker like one from Magnepan that does not color the sound.

Or, you could do what we used to do at my shop.  Put your hands on your face in the shape of a horn and speak to someone and then move them away.  Hear the difference?  No?  Then buy whatever garbage horn you love, pal.

Cheers!
