👍😄Seems a couple on here just can’t except others having different opinions from theirs and if you do your just a gullible “Fanboy”….

In this day and age people not accepting another’s opinion without being coerced, bullied or called the “label” of the day? Say it ain’t so Mike.

No matter the product companies across the board charge more for their “premium” models. It’s a business marketing strategy - .
Heritage models sit atop the Klipsch model line - and naturally command the better materials, the made in USA moniker and such.

ATK....
Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter ($2.69 per 16.3-ounce jar); it had just the right balance of sweetness, salt, and roasted peanut flavor.

Things must be going down the crappper ‘round here - reverting to a peanut butter thread? I quoted this particular one - add about a buck fifty + to that price. -
I’ll be the contrarian here - I have had nothing but good luck with FedEx over the many years I’ve been in the hobby.
For me, it is my carrier of choice and has always delivered the quickest - . Luck o’ the draw?

Any Class D will make that speaker THUMP with massive transient response.
That I will agree although all Class D, similar to Class AB or pure Class A presents different flavors. I believe my current Hypex nCores stand above the Wyred4Sound mAmps I once owned. And the latest and greatest Hypex Purifi supposedly stands above nCore. And on it goes -

If “coheres” into a single source means each speaker blending into a center single source or ghost center, I agree. Positioned properly my “underground” Jubes have done this trick for years. Pulled out from front wall and toed as to cross Behind my seated listening position does this is my room.

These didn't come from a store...
(The carton was recycled)
Our neighbors have chickens and couple ducks and have been given eggs from both. Other than the obviously larger duck egg and the intense yellow-orange color of the yolk I really didn’t taste much difference from store bought. Maybe my taster is gone -

what's wrong with the way we've been doing for DECADES?
I’d be unloading those butt ugly KHorns and monster Jubes as soon as possible. Otherwise - it’s pennies on the dollar - .

Baah Baah - if so then the black sheep herd. I’m sure you can relate. But as you see, the herd remains -

The crossovers certainly need to be updated with new capacitors. Recommend you reach out to Michael Crites, or order new good quality capacitors and do the work yourself. Dayton Precision Audio capacitors, Sonicaps and Jantzen capacitors are all good choices.
Apparently you didn’t see the memo - JEM is The go to for Klipsch crossovers - 😉

The tube crisis is manufactured. JJ can easily supply the current demand. For those that are in need, you're being played.
JJ is shipping but $ are still x3 what they were this time last year. Wait.
A manufactured crises in these trying times? Surely - you jest

need to delete that audition list... auditions aren't need for a speaker that isn't made any longer.
Sure they are - keeps driving the mystique and prices ^^^^^. And the more unobtainable the continued mystique. The continued “want”. The continued price escalation - . It’s a viscous circle -

Use these absurd lead times to your advantage. Order your nice, new comfy recliner or couch and a new refrigerator for the cold beverages you’ll want as you listen to your new amp. Everything should arrive in the next 12-16 months.
And who says a well thought out plan won’t come together? -

I always wanted to try the Benchmark AHB2 with La Scala’s. I bet that’s a great combo.
Distortion levels on the combined LS and Benchmark will be astonishing low - . The Benchmark is currently handling Jubilee duties and it ain’t too shabby with those either -

Benchmark Amp, Preamp
in 2-Channel Home Audio
Posted
Okay, I currently own a Benchmark, a First Watt F3 (Class A of course) Hypex nCore nc400 monoblocks and some other stragglers. According to AudioScience “statistically” speaking the nCores and Benchmark provide the lowest distortion ratings tested. To say either of these ratings highlights or exaggerates any perceived brightness or “sheen” in my Klipsch speakers - they do not. They both provide a blacker background than the F3, barely. I have owned other First Watt and Pass Labs amps which fall the same.
For reference my current Klipsch in house are Jubes, LS, H3 and 396.
I have owned numerous, and still have single ended monoblocks, tube amps and without question all the above SS amps provide a quieter and far blacker background than tubes. For this reason I rarely run tubes although when I do they sound great. For my ears quality solid state provide the immediate, live sound Klipsch horns offers.
