Klipschorn: Still relevant??

I'm interested in stirring the pot which is my current system. Please see my system for more details but, in summary, I'm conteplating moving from a Cary beam power/triode & Von Schweikert VR4JR based system to a SET/Klipschorn system.

In general, would you consider the move to be "better" or just different. Or worse?? Better being defined as higher fidelity for most types of acoustic music.

Really curious. Your opinion matters! I have to buy most of my equipment without hearing it and have to rely on reputations, opinions, reviews, etc.

Thanx

Yes! I'm definitely changing. My equipment is listed right now. However, that particular pair of Klipshorns I was interested in are no longer available. :^(

Hey Pawlowski,

Keep in mind, the LaScala uses the same drivers as
the Khorn, but in a non "corner" design. Only difference
is slight low bass performance. But these have plenty of bass IMO, and very tight.

Even though the LaScalas use the same drivers they sound totally different from the KHorns- At least they did in my system at the time. I always felt the Khorns sounded a little brighter and better.
Could just be me though.

The single most improved piece of equipment in my system with the Khorns were the ALK crossovers. This was an improvement better than any amp, cdplayer or preamp and I've been thru many of these.

the khorns are an iconoclistc loudspeaker.....the 4jrs are nice, but a few years from now, the khorns and other heritage speakers will still be in demand.
