Klipsch Klipschorn speakers

in the right setting, they would be magical

Currently I have a set of Dunlavy sc4 speakers. Got the bug to try something different not sure if vintage or newer is the way to go

They are awesome....wish i had the room.   A large rectangular room.  

I had Klipschorns for 25 years or so and absolutely loved them. I built my family room addition to accommodate these, so never had some of the issues others speak about. Drove them with several amps over the years and I would have to say an old refurbished 25 watt Baldwin amp built by Autospec (here on Audiogon) was one of the best sounding amps that went through my system. I never thought they went downstairs in the bass department though. I ran a subwoofer with them.

I have a pair of 1976 klipschorns with updated volti audio crossovers. These 40+ yr old speakers have no right to do the things they do. I would put them up against modern speakers several times what I paid. And I have owned many (and I do mean MANY) of the more conventional speakers like Wilson audio, von schweikert, magnepan, green mountain audio, piega, etc. just to name a few. 

The klipschorns involve me in a way that most other speakers can’t. And contrary to conventional wisdom, they can even image very well. The icing on the cake is the dynamics that can be achieved with very low powered tube amps.

For the peanuts you would pay for a used pair, they are a no brainer. Of course there is the provision that you have a fairly large listening room with two good corners.
