Those have to be heard to really be appreciated. I have a pair of LSI's that I've heard stock. They now have the original ALK universals and Daves walnut lenses with DE120's. No way I'd ever go back. I brought them to an audio gathering last year and all were genuinely impressed. It's a magical combo. Is it the original Klipsch sound? Obviously not but to MY ears, it's much much better.
