I know little about the engineering part but why wouldn't Klipsch implement your $10 magic for such a huge gain?
Speaker upgrade
Good morning all, hope everyone is well.
My planned HIFI change for 2023 is a change in loudspeakers. My top contenders are JBL L100, Klipsch Forte IV or Corwall IV’s, another couple I am very interested in are the Volit Razz, and possibly the Paradigm F80.
System consists of Rogue RP-1, Rogue Atlas Mag III, Line Magnetic CD-24, MOFI Master deck and Master tracker.
Room is an untreated living room 15x15, hardwood with thick throw rug and lightly furnished.
I have listened to the Klipsch and the Paradigm, enjoyed them both. They are different animals as one would imagine.
I listen to mostly Jazz, Rock and "American Roots" (not modern country).
Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.

Excellent question. I retired in 2016 as a Klipsch dealer. About a year before my retirement, Klipsch was attaching a rubberized material to the front of the horn bodies in their Reference Series speakers. So, it looks like someone there was paying attention to this. I haven’t kept up with Klipsch after 2016. Might be worth looking into in my spare time to see if horn body dampening made its way into the current Heritage lineup. |
@waytoomuchstuff ok that make sense. Klipsch seems like a big and competitive brand and they must know what they are doing |
+1 Volti Razz - heard them at the last AXPONA - sounded great. For my foray into flea watt amps, I wanted neutral uncolored speakers efficient enough to be driven by my 300B 8w SET amps. Klipsch speakers, a long established company with many fans, seemed rather colored compared to the Volti's offerings. So I recently purchased the next model up the Volti Rival 100db for increased efficiency. |
