Well, in here, Klipsch have ALL the respect of the world Maybe the Polk's forum is a lot more biased than this one, here you can see anyone talking about this or that gear, and no one is really upset. We even have a subwoofers forum in which Klipsch's ones are in second or third place behind others!
I think that MUST tell something about the Klipsch users "mentality" so to speak. Maybe (just maybe) Klipsch users have experienced all and then, someday, they woke up from the dream of dome tweeters and low sensibility speakers.
You should pay a visit to neutral forums, like AVS or HTF, there, Klipsch is respected among some visitors, and hated by others, just like any other brand out there...
