Klipsch love them or hate them.

Nah, it’s the titanium ringing, my Klipsch speaker got the new silicon horn which does help a lot with the harshness compared to older Klipsch designs.

Compared to normal speakers the ringing is actually not that obvious. It’s only when compared to high end beryllium active speakers (and only on certain songs with the right high frequency materials) did I go, wow, never knew it ringed so much.

With that said, I like both sound signatures.

Amazing that you can't tell at all when there was a 4 year jump, then a 5 year jump, suddenly you have gone from 2004 to 2016 and people are still complementing speakers that were first made more than 60 years ago. 

Cut them all you want, but point to another speaker than has been continuously in production 1/3 that long.

Have any of you heard the Palladium series. Seems to be the best they have made since the Heritage and Forte / Chorus lines. 

I've liked Klipsch stuff for years, although never personally owned anything from them…"Heresy" (spent a LOT of time listening to a friend's pair of those things) might be one of the best audio product names ever. I did have a set of Altec A7s for many years (pro sound needs) and there is just something about the "wooden" tone of big old school plywood speakers that is unique and appealing. 

I've got a set of Cornwall I's from 73  and a Marantz 2270 from 74 perfect set up. They blow my B&W'S out of the water because the Cornwalls have a 105% sensitivity
