I assume I could get my Klipschorns to measure better with digital processor, but at the cost of colorations of that processor, nothing that signal passes through doesn't have sound signature. I don't want a single change here from the status quo. And whats not to like in my ss or imaging department, illusion of live performers in room. Life size, fully dimensional, height, width, depth all in proper proportion, well defined on sound stage. Sound stage spreads across room,  far into room, well past my listening position, the only thing missing I've heard with previous setups and speakers is that sound stage doesn't extend outside and behind  speakers on front wall, Klipschorn required placement impinges on this.

Most importantly, I don't have to work at all in order to imagine this, this is the sound quality I get from each and every listening session and it lasts over many hours, five and six hour listening sessions not uncommon. I'll remain satisfied until we get visual 3 dimensional holograms to go along with our music. And I'm not saying my imaging couldn't possibly get better, but why would one feel the need to change out something that isn't a problem.
Back to the point of this thread. OP reiterates his son only cares about loud, Klipschorn with 300 watts will provide that! The issue then becomes whether the drivers can handle that wattage without frying. For sure you'd need  a Kipschorn with the tweeter protection circuit, not all have it. Next I'd be worried about mid driver, diaphragms on stock Klipschorn drivers are pretty fragile, especially on a vintage Klipschorn. Don't know if new production has increased durability?
In 1978, I was playing my vintage 1976 Khorns extremely loud (Cheap Trick Live at Budokan) and I fried both woofers. I didn’t damage the tweeters or midranges which does seem strange now. At that time, I called Klipsch, and they sent me two new drivers for free! I was using a McIntosh MC 2100 at the time of the incident.
