Klipsch Speakers

Ditch the Klipsch

I’ve owned klipsch Lascala Ii’s for several years. As I’ve changed components, the Klipsch have radically transformed in sound quality. Interconnects, amps, and cartridges all created significant effects. Once too bright, then too soft…they reflect up stream colorations. Several times I concluded the klipsch’s by nature had a certain inherent sound profile only to realize later it was other influences coloring the speakers. Putting them recently upon insulating rolling dollies once again so dramatically effected the clarity that I no longer make any statements about what these speakers bring to the sound per se. I believe every speaker does have its own characteristics but these have flipped from one emphasis to another so as to make generalizations worthless. 

Yes it’s a personal journey for sure. What components did you end up with?

At present, I’ve got the SVS SB-2000 pro sub, Raven Blackhawk tube integrated, Audiolab 6000 CDT CD transport, Nuprime 9 SE DAC, Klipsch Lascsla II, Tellurium Q Black II speaker cables, (same for interconnects), U-turn turntable with homemade suspension platform w/ ortofon blue cartridge, Cambridge Audio phono preamp, Cayin headphone amp with focal elects XLR connected directly to DAC…Synergy is everything, trial and error.
