Rock and roll speakers?

Klipsch due have a hi boogie factor...probably due to their efficient nature... But they really due have an energetic, propulsive presentation... They can be very forward sounding...so if you are looking for depth/spacious sound not the most ideal...and vintage Klipsch fans are a loyal bunch...kg 4, chorus, forte etc can be had fairly affordable and resold for minimal loss if any...

If you have any local audio stores near where you live, I would just go and listen to what is out there. Take your favorite music with you and enjoy the experience. It is the best way to tell if you like what you hear.

Not sure about that double stack of Advents. I set up my two pair less than a month ago. They have redone woofer surrounds and updated capacitors.

Just not that resolving and they sounded small.

Went back to my Maggie 3.6's, which are not "rock" speakers, but they blew away the Advents with the same amplification, preamp, and cd player.

Still won't sell the Advents though!

The problem with the Cerwins imo is that they have rolled off highs. The soft dome tweeters could be the culprit. The JBL L890s use titanium tweeters, but they might be too bright for some. The Cerwins might be better to some than overly bright, and I too don't like real bright. However, I like a good deal of life in the upper octaves. Rolled off highs drive me nuts, lol.

I have a second pair of heresy's 1.5 that I hot rodded. The have stands and cables. What was done to them might arguably make them the best sounding heresy's around. Coupled with my hot rodded GTA SE 40...they sound fantastic.

Take both for 1650....pick up only....your rock and roll dreams are filled.
