Has anyone heard the newest version of the Klispschhorm?

I have had a brief demo and liked what I heard. 

Phusis certainly understands the compelling aspect of KH that made them indispensable for me. With the KH, even in stock form, I heard an uncanny sense of live performers in room I had never heard prior. For me, the magic starts with the incredible way  these horns reproduce micro dynamics, I feel the breath and/or rhythm and touch on their instruments, music becomes performance.

Allied to tubes, or valves as I like to think of them since it reminds me of the human lung which is in fact a valve, this sense of live performers in room becomes that much more believable.

The usually stated weakness of the Khorns is horn colorations, my mods were designed to address these weaknesses. IMO, valves are an absolute necessity for alleviating timbral issues with KH, again, the latest Heritage models have been  reportedly improved in this area.

There were no obvious colorations I could identify in my brief demo. 

The KH has a distinct presentation. On some music it’s so very very close to a live sound, it’s almost better than being there. At other times it might just be too much of a good thing. But there is no denying these speakers have stood the test of time.

EDIT: The big Aventguard speakers might be a little more laid back and pleasing to more people...

russ69,

That was funny. You mentioned Aventguard and I started doing a search to see what you were talking about, and then I realized that you had just misspelled Avantgarde.
