When someone mentions Miles Davis recordings, it brings me to that early time in my life that I heard a set of Khorns, and I knew this was the reproduction I wanted. I owned Khorns for 2 years, as, I had a place with ideal corners to accommodate them. When I moved ( due to life circumstances ), I sold them and enjoyed Klipsch Lascalas with subwoofers, which fir the bill. Granted, as I have stated this before, that every Klipsch speaker, needed some damping and taming, particularly the mid horns, because even today, Klipsch is looking at a price point, and does not hear it as a viable upgrade. Moving along.....the point I wanted to make was, I still have not heard a better recreation of Miles Davis recordings other than good horns. And they do piano, voices, drums, you name it, quite well. So, I am partial. Enjoy ! MrD.
Revel F35 vs Klipsch Heresy II or maybe III
First time post so please be kind.
I’m considering a brand new pair of Revel F35s for $1,000 (retail $1600). I’ve heard them and I think they will work better in my 18X22 Vaulted main listening room...(likely with a sub)...than my current Def Tech BP8040s (ebay $800) that are just to airy in that room. No punch at all. Nice at low levels but nothing even near loud. I have a very average Yamaha RXV1000 receiver now that I will upgrade to amps / inters of Mac or Parasound or possibly Emotiva. Stereo only..no mulit channel. Have only heard the Mac so not sure. I stream Spotify thru a Bluesound Node 2 about 98% of the time right now. Listen to everything from Steely Dan to David Gilmore to Miles Davis to Postmalone. I want Klipsch Forte IIIs but can only afford the F35s or maybe Klipsch Heresy IIs or IIIs. I love vintage Klipsch sound...but also the direct sound of Energy, Boston Acoustics and now Revel.
Any thoughts on what my best next step might be?
Thanks....
