Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II. It has more than enough power to drive the Chorus and has the tube magic that is so special. I am using it to drive some Altec 19 and it's the best combo I have heard. Some day I'm going to try my Quartets with it. Definitely worth a try with the Chorus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Acoustic music sounds great on the Maggies. However, my wife and I couldn't get past the fact that when a drum hit, they sounded as flat as they look. I had Martin Logans for a while which have the hybrid design so you get the kick of a woofer with the panel. (Electrostatic instead of planar/ribbon but the sound is similar in a lot of respects.)

Ok, what am I missing here? Why is it important if you can flex your door or make a table jump? Sounds like when you see a car drive by with his trunk rattling from his bazooka tube sub. I personally have sealed subs because they fit in my environment. Although PWK clearly felt horns are superior he didn't completely write off DR as evidenced by the Heresy, Cornwall, and extended Heritage line. I love horns as well, but DR fits in some applications. There are clearly merits to both designs but why does it seem that the issue has just become how LOUD will it go? Most of us listen to music in the 70-80db range with peaks around 95-100. I would imagine a lot of subs would have no problem at those levels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seems the specs are a bit off. It has a 500 watt continuous and 1000 watt peak rating. http://images.klipsch.com/LF10LF12SubsManual_635042115249020000.pdf Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats! You'll be raising another audio enthusiast who will get the Klipsch bug too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you done the "ground lug mod" on your M19's? Nope, completely stock and sound great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven't yet upgraded my Quartet crossovers, and those are ~25 years old. I'm sure they would sound a bit better with an upgrade, but I haven't had the time/money just yet. I can say that I have a set of Heresy III - so they have fresh crossovers/drivers. I do not find the Heresy III harsh at all. Brighter than the quartets? Sure, but not in a bad way - all the instruments are just there. I have heard the La Scala II, so again all new components, and those were not harsh at all - In fact, my ~37 year old completely stock Altec 19 are brighter.

So almost 2016 at this point. Any additional news on these? For me, I love the Heritage line, and dedicated systems. I do, however, appreciate the new technology and idea behind these. It is painful to watch audio dealers disappear as more consumers are satisfied with the sound of things like the Beats Pill. If Klipsch was able to step in and show the new generation what good sound is all about, it could create a new breed of followers...who may even look toward the Heritage line once they get a taste of the sound. For those of us who have dedicated systems, perhaps these can also be used as a secondary or office system. I've got the Heresy III in my office, but a set of powered monitors I could use may be pretty awesome. (I wouldn't be getting rid of the HIII, they would just move to another room :-) ) I love that Klipsch is sticking with sound quality as the driver for these products. If it doesn't sound good, the name shouldn't be on it. I applaud the approach and hope it gathers new customers while also keeping the company strong for those that appreciate the bigger and more traditional systems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another option may be some offerings from NAD. Their amplifiers/receivers generally have the same type of sound. They are a bit warm with a lot of punch. I have a D 3020 that I use on my quartets and heresies. That's just a tiny class D amp with 30wpc and it has serious power to drive them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is it normal for Class A to run quite that hot? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

at your service. you want to know what is "heritage"? Any and all stories and related history that you would be willing to share would be of enormous interest. I would buy the book should you ever decide to write one. Why not start today with what you are working on and go backwards and show us how the parts all fit together? Thank you. Best regards Moray James. that is a big elephant to eat!! you know how long i have been with klipsch? i will try small bites at a time and as i said some things i cant discuss...i will post some stuff tomorrow. Many small bites can equal a big bite! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quad 909 stereo amplifier SOLD. 140W into 8 ohms 250W into 4 ohms THD <0.01% Frequency response -1.0dB at 13 Hz and 40kHz Great condition. Has a sound that leans to the warm side of neutral. Used with Altec 19 and Klipsch Heresy III with awesome results. I moved on to an integrated amplifier and no longer have room for this. Comes with power cord, box, and manual.

Quad 909. Not sure what the new version equivalent would be, but I know they have an updated version. Quad is known for being warm if a tiny bit rolled off on the Highs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been to quite a number of "high end" shops, and have yet to see horns. The mere mention of horns makes some turn their noses up. You can read quite a number of stories of people dismissing horns without even listening. I've heard it said that those that listen to horns can't hear. It's just a generalization that I question. There are good speakers and bad speakers in every category. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think there is something to the "how much do they cost?" High end is obscenely priced in some areas. A certain company that has basically recreated the La Scalas, audiophiles say are great, and the price is way out of the range I would consider reasonable. Do things have to reach a certain price point to be considered good? I love music and like I stated I have no bias for what speakers will sound like. However, if you come to listen to my setup or talk to me about sound, check your audiophile notions at the door. [emoji38] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I'm trying to figure out what it is about the look/sound of horns that is all but shunned in the audiophile community. I've been to multiple high end shops and most of the people there shake their head and want to run screaming from the room when I mention horns. I've heard things like they are "honky", they shout at you, shrill, etc. A lot of people won't even listen to a horn and proclaim it horrible just by sight. It's almost like saying dome tweeters are horrible because they're too round. For me, as a musician, I have found horns to be much more lifelike in their presentation. I have no bias towards any speaker, however, and I will base my opinion on what I hear. I do wonder if you did a blind test, if those that proclaim horns terrible, would change their mind.

Those look awesome. I'll bet Klipsch may want to put these on their blog... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
