They’ve received many good reviews...I found the Triangle Borea 03 and Elac Uni-Fi 2.0 to be equally as good but different, and also some Dali’s but don’t remember model......the Klipsch is regularly available as "open box" from authorized dealers for about $450 including shipping...and if it matters, most reviews seem to find the Klipsch much less sensitive/efficient than advertised...fortunately I found a pair of Salk Monitors at a great price and didn’t have to decide, though it’s a much more expensive speaker...

I have not read a review about any speaker, at any cost, driven by any equipment, in any room, that didn’t garner criticism on the site. This is the reason I just stay put with what I have. With many products, there is a ‘if you want to do it right, get so and so’, but not audio. There is always a wrinkle….
Power clean? Power cable suit your system? Room treated? Amp up to the task? Might sound better with tubes/solid state. Vibration controlled? Spikes or springs? It all starts with the source, right? Or is it the room? Or clean power? What phono preamp, that can get you in trouble if you have a mismatch. Speaker positioning correct? Away from wall/ near the wall/ toe in? Stand height correct? How about interconnects? Are you using the right speaker cables? Is your chair up against the wall, it’s a no no. Glasses on? Ears clean? Tv screen covered? Window treatments in place? It’s all about synergy..
How in the world can you isolate any symptoms and say it’s the speaker? That concept goes against the overcomplicated nature of the hobby. @johnto if the Klipsch are in your budget they are fine, unless you enjoy wringing your hands and splitting hairs. Get an inexpensive amp and relax. |
