Didn’t say I wanted a pair would just like to hear them. Aside from the little cube systems and small wall mounted model you see in pubs I have never even seen a Bose speaker.

Always wanted to hear a pair for myself out of curiosity. They are an iconic historical speaker.

Many are unaware the the the brothers Young were Scottish immigrants to Australia , albeit very young when thier parents came over. Back then moving about the Commonwealth was relatively easy to do. My family followed the offered course available in those days. My parents came over to Canada from the UK in the late 50s and an uncle and wing of the family went to Australia. Though we are Jews, the culture of UK permeates our bones to this day. My mother was from Aberdeen (father from Manchester), and whenever I hear the pipes the hair on my arms stand at attention and I get a lump in the throat. Long way to the the top and it’s video always seemed to touch me and bridged the great spans of our family between the UK, Canada and Australia. A great band who touched many and highlighted the commonalities we share. Malcolm Young, May his name be for a blessing.

Another addition to a growing list we lost in 2017. Too young to die of complications from dementia.

They also do well in commercial venue placement. In the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton Alberta it seems to be about 60/40 JBL to Klipsch in the stores, restaurant and pubs.several of the large women’s stores use the large white wall mount Klipsch.

I agree. I've been to more than a few homes and have yet see/hear a centre as good as my RC 62. Haven't heard one of the 64s but they look magnificent. Mind you I don't play movies or television at what people refer to as reference levels - to damn loud for me and the neighbors. I really thought I would hear a big noticeable difference when I swapped out the RB61 IIs for the Ohms, but no mismatch to my ears. My wife likes it and one of my audio buddies was surprised as well.

Perhaps that is the case with my set up - RC 62 II between a pair of Ohm Acoustics 2000s. The Klipsch is dead neutral and very clear, seems to blend incredibly well with the extra wide sound stage the Ohms put out. Works so well in fact I have decided to forgo purchasing an Ohm centre.

For some reason the larger Klipsch centres seem to blend well with other brands.

Damn, it might be our provider but none of the videos would play.

A shot I found online. Piano Black has a very nice mirror like quality to it.

A piano finish is timeless and very classy looking. It won’t look out of place in any room.

That is a shame but I guess comfort is key. As for myself I really enjoy this forum, and very much appreciate the feel of camaraderie here - whether it be music, equipment or general interest discussions. I also seem to learn something new each time I sign in. A very nice crew from all over.

I would say that the ethnic determination tests offered on TV are bullocks on stilts. However proper DNA tests done through a your Dr and a certified lab are another creature altogether. My wife and her biological father confirmed their relationship about 15 years ago with a 99% match. It was the development of a serious medical condition my wife developed that caused her mother to “spill the beans”. Her so called father that she had known was a worthless pos that sexually abused her as a child and led to a divorce back when she was 7. After a couple years of very pleasant phone calls and getting to know him and his family (all grown), we finally met each other in northern Alberta (Peace River). As soon as he opened the door it was a no brainer, the remblance was beyond striking. Turns out he had always suspected but my wife’s mother had lied to him for years. We have been very welcome members of the wider family ever since.

Enjoyed them for years, however Waters ruined it for me. I banished them from my home and system several years ago by giving my entire collection to a coworker.

The look is very striking. I hope they sound really good as well.

They look great, remind me a bit of the Palladium look.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing these unboxed. They have a very impressive distinctive look.

I was very interested in a pair from this series a year ago but was unable to hear them. I have on weekends up until a year ago, worked the local FM station, we had a great set of JBL monitors in the broadcast studio ( prettynice pair of Tannoys in prod). They rocked. Only ever heard them with classic rock/80s as that was our playlist but really liked the overall JBL sound. Similar in many ways to the Klipsch sound.

The most beautiful of all Klipsch speakers - IMO ( Palladiums excluded). In ten years when I retire and move to southern Canada my goal will be to obtain a pair.

A bit pricy for my budget but not completely out of this world as some are.

Great topic and looking forward to input. My original plans of a small system in my den are now seeming unrealistic due to the proximity of the TV living room. This is the way Iam leaning for marital harmony.

I have often wondered this myself and had thought it had to do with the fact that most rock is played with electric instruments intentionally distorted to begin with , rather than the mainly acoustic instruments used in jazz. Just about all my 50s and early 60s jazz sounds better overall than the rock from the 70s and 80s which I also enjoy.

The small Green computer option looks promising and is priced much closer to what I was hoping to spend. I’m going to look a little deeper into these.

Might be the mic or the room, but they sound a little boomy and harsh.The Khorns I’ve heard in person (only two different set ups), sounded detailed , balanced and smoother.

Like I said ai am extremely new to this. A lot of the digital equipment I see reviewed in Stereophile I skip over. Flack seems to be what I’m getting. Wink
