For now I canceled my order for the 2 subs. I found a better deal online but will only re order them again when they are back in stock.
Smart Move!!!!!

Purchased this Pioneer Elite CT-05D cassette deck in 2008. Hardly used but its flawless in quality and design.
I remember when I owned the Pioneer CTF-1000 and later the CTF-1250, nice decks.

Are these still for sale???

Nice to see that Klipsch is now including the Pioneer Elite line for sale. The new top of the line (currently) shows that Pioneer is alive and still with us. The VSX-LX805 in my opinion is very exciting and should be well built. Premium Audiio has had a lot of input in this and very grateful to them. If anyone can keep Pioneer alive it's Premium Audio.
I currently own the SC-LX904 and absolutely love it. Mine however, has copper screws and better speaker terminals which makes me wonder if there is even a better unit on the horizon, a true flagship. We'll see!
Either way, for me Klipsch and Pioneer Elite are a perfect marriage.

Price has never been an issue with customers who purchase the Heritage line, why there is no subwoofer to compliment these speakers makes no sense to me.

Finally got into these forums!
I am thrilled that Klipsch is finally addressing the line of subs that are getting slammed online for quality issues in the amps. I have the SPL-150SW and was more or less enjoying it. However, despite a lot of fooling around with positioning, I could audibly locate it in the room when using it for music. It was distracting, and I can only attribute it to some small amounts of distortion. I have heard it chuff, but that is rare as I have a family that doesn't let me crank it to 11 during movies.At one point my amp did die off, and I took the amp into work and fixed it. One of the traces on the board had etched through as the board was not cleaned well after production, and some solder flux actually ate the trace off due to the heat of the nearby standby circuit. I cleaned the board, repaired the trace, and have been good to go since. However, after seeing how the amplifier was incredibly cheap (despite being a clever design), it left a sour taste in my mouth. This and the distortion left me wanting something different.
So, this winter I decided I would piece together Dayton 18" passive radiator sub since they have great reviews for very low distortion. I was seeking low distortion more so than output level (though I do enjoy that a lot too) so I could do something about locating the sub during music. I also purchased a DSP integrated amplifier (Class D) to go with it so I could compensate for room gain.
After much trial and error trying to get a finish on the box so it looks nice, (finally settled on oak veneer) and a lot of swearing, I finally got it together. Started playing around with it 3 weeks ago and tuned it up to integrate with my RP8000Fs. It sounded fantastic!
And now, Klipsch went and released these on me. Just in time for me to be done blowing way too much time and money on a custom job that cannot got past about 116dB SPL. There is no way I will slip this past the property committee after converting the family room to an assembly room for that massive sub. The real problem is I just landed a couple of old Forte IIs in great shape that may need a little TLC to freshen them up as they were in storage for 15 years, so even more money spent. (Worth it!)
Otherwise, I would have been the first in line for the 16" of this. Oh well. The one sub is enough in the room. Tried to run the Klipsch and the Dayton together, and it is a little overwhelming and boomy. I cannot tame the room gain on the Klipsch at 34Hz. Not a fault of the sub, but the fault of not being able to spectrally deal with room gain.
I hear a rumor there may be a Heritage version of subs coming also? That will be something to behold. Maybe that would reach a level I could piss off my neighbors that live 1/4 mile away.Price has never been an issue with customers who purchase the Heritage line, why there is no subwoofer to compliment these speakers makes no sense to me.

Will have to see and hear them which I understand is very important but two issues for me on build design:
1. Ebony Scratch Resistent Vinyl......Still no real wood veneer that was promised years ago I believe at CES in 2017.
2. Appears to be a tiny on/off button located top left on the front, can't really tell.
So bottom line for the Klipsch customer that wants a sub-woofer in Real Wood well, not yet!

I hope to go this year with my wife. We went just when covid started causing havoc awhile back and is was a great show. A lot of Hi-end gear on display to audition and purchase. When we went their was no cost but $20-$25.00 is not bad.
Seems to be growing in exhibitors and attendence each year.............

Hello. The fronts are Cornwall 3's. I have a brand new pair of Heresy 4's in the closet wanting to use them. Ended up selling the RC 64III, beautiful speaker but just not impressed with the sound quality for a center speaker. Also, looking at the SVS Ultra Center Speaker as it gets great reviews.
Thanks for the input to calibrate and all.

Hi Greg. I'm selling my RC 64III Center Channel currently posted and looking at any reasonable offer. It would cost more than the RP-504C but then again the speaker now lists for over $1,800. So far not one offer which has really surprised me.........?

SOLD!!!
Original Owner. (Downsizing Sale) Comes with original box, packing, instruction manual, everything that came with it. The build quality is superb and the black ash finish is stunning despite a slight imperfection on top right from little felt pads I had under a small coaster.
Ask any questions you like and prefer pick up in Palm Harbor, Florida (Tampa Bay/Clearwater Area) due to weighing in at 55lbs but I would discuss shipping options. Thanks for any interest.

the RC 64 III only has 1 HF Driver , so yes a Heresy IV pair would be a better choice for vocals , since you will now have 2 tweeters and 2 Midrange drivers
Sounds good to me, thanks OO1!

Hello everyone. Question, would Heresy IV's (Pair) make for a good center channel speaker or speakers? I currently have the RC 64III and its beautiful but I have to increase the volume quite substantially for this center channel compared to the rest of my surround sound speakers to be able to hear the voices sometimes when watching a movie.
Any input or suggestions welcomed....................Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Now selling Onkyo receivers but no Pioneer Elite. I would choose the latter every time.
Both good companies but in my opinion Pioneer Elite makes a better receiver and has a storied past just like Klipsch. I hope we will see them for sale SOON!

Klipsch sells Heritage speakers for lots of money and I mean lots of money. Excellent build and sound quality, painfully obvious that subwoofers are not in the game plan. Just imagine if it was, what it would look and sound like, We Can Dream Can't We!!!!
I own two SVS SB 16 Ultras, trust me, it would not be easy to best them but Klipsch could and I would swap them out in an instant.

Was really hoping it was going to be a high quality subwoofer since the current line-up is just not up to par with competition.
Really disappointed and just don't understand why Klipsch does not manufacture a subwoofer in Hope that would pair well with the Heritage line. Price is not a concern for this loyal fan base of which I'm included. Just don't get it?
What happened to The Beast?
