To be labeled a Klipsch Heritage Series speaker means our founder, Paul W. Klipsch, played a pivotal role in the design, development and engineering of these incredible loudspeakers. Each speaker is designed and assembled in the U.S.A. with furniture-grade wood veneers and feature our cornerstone horn-loaded technology to deliver an unsurpassed acoustic experience.
The more I think about this, the more I feel Klipsch does consider The Sixes and future speakers Heritage. When I break down the the verbiage it only makes sense that the Heritage line applies. PWK original designs and thoughts only need to be applied to any new design for the label to apply. We both know The Sixes and others like the new Heritage sound bar both are made in the USA using furniture grade materials and are horn loaded. If Klipsch does not apply the Heritage Moniker then it dies off. This is why they have the reference line, Palladium lines and Heritage it's important to keep it going, I think it only makes sense.

Understood but I don't know anyone outside of marketing that would even remotely consider them as a Heritage speaker. You're just repeating what they're printing, I get it.
Read the edit to my earlier post, for conversation sake, I want to make it clear I am not arguing. I do firmly believe that Klipsch recognized wireless powered speakers are here to stay and for the most part are sub-par that is what inspired them to create a Heritage Wireless Line to spearhead quality wireless stereo sound. I don't think it's a marketing trick I firmly believe there were multiple meetings by multiple high level board members to brand them Heritage.
I guess maybe I am better off just to defer to the more experienced poster. Just want it clear I was not trying to be argumentative just seeking clarification

I understand that and The Sixes are made of furniture grade wood and they are horn loaded. https://www.klipsch.com/heritage-wireless
I am not making this up, I did not name them, the links provided are directly from Klipsch. I think the intent of which was to design a wireless grouping they would be proud to label as Heritage.
I think we all know these are not Klipschorns, or LaScala etc I do firmly believe Klipsch is taking the lead in wireless stereo. There are a lot of single speaker powered speakers but other than SONOs not sure any industry leader is tackling this. I think they intent is ti spearhead this drive.

I believe they refer to it as "Heritage inspired" rather than heritage.

I wouldn't consider the 6s a Heritage speaker but they're very impressive none the less.
Well Klipsch does? I think in part due to the materials used.

We heard the sixes in Hope at the Pilgrimage. They were impressive for their size.
Everything I read states the same exact thing. I was considering the R-28PF floor standing speaker but decided I really wanted to stick with the Heritage line. The sixes from what I read have great sound, look fantastic in the Walnut finish and for a smaller 10x 12 room they should more than suffice. I am at first going to hook them up with no Sub as I have read they have great bass tones in the event I choose to add a sub I am hoping I can use the wireless 10" sub, again a small room so I can't see needing anything more than the 10" Sub

Somewhere here on the forum yes. I've seen it several places. That's why you don't read anything about them anymore.
Ahh okay thanks. I wasn't found of the paper cone woofer but they were in my old KG4s so I would have at least considered them.

When you get them op, let me know how you like'em…
I probably can't afford them I will likely stick with The Sixes

To the best of my knowledge the 15's will not make it to production.
Have you read that?

Have you all seen this yet? Right when I was about the purchases The Sixes, I see this. https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=yfp-t&p=Klipsch+The+Sixes+Video+Review#id=3&vid=6f05c334f773d196b78bf358dc54b8ea&action=click

Anyone know if the new R-28PF will work with a wireless sub?
I may have put this in the wrong forum, sorry !🙂

Ok, so I now understand you're not interested in a turntable or cd player, which i can totally understand. But you will still have speakers that are tethered to something. The master speaker will be tethered to a wall outlet via a power cord, then it will have a 2nd cord that extends to the other speaker. So both speaker have wires, which is where you are now. In fact, one will have two, and the cable joining them is of a set length.
How about this? Check out this link. https://www.crutchfield.com/shopsearch/wireless_amplifier.html?&pg=1 Consider buying one of these wireless/ streaming amplifiers (one is a Klipsch product!) which will allow you to buy any klipsch speaker you want. A couple of them are so small they could even be hid behind the speaker so you wouldn't even need something to set it on. Here's the advantages over a powered speaker:
- You can use with any speaker you want
- You can use any speaker cable you want (cheap wire is just fine - don't believe the nonesense about exotic speaker cable)
- You're not having to send in a whole speaker if you ever need servicing. Most people have had amps that needed servicing at some point, imagine the hassle of having to box up a whole floor standing speaker. Plus, I don't believe Klipsch actually builds the plate-amps used in their powered speakers, who knows if they will be able to service it 4 or 5 years down the road.
- Some of these amps probably support a greater number of streaming conventions than the Klipsch models you're considering.
Again, I'm sure these models you're considering sound great, but I have a hard time understanding the advantages of building an amp built into a speaker.
The fact that no one has weighed in with a first-account opinion of either speaker perhaps tells you that very few people see the utility of a powered floor-stander.
That wireless amp is an alternative I have to research. I just figured the two aforementioned speakers be rated at 260 Watts would be a lot easier to work with. You can't possibly know the configuration of my room but in a nut shell, the TV sits on a stand that has a receptacle directly behind it. From there I have place on the stand out of site a six plug heavy duty surge protector. In that are the TV, Blu Ray, and Klipsch Sound bar. My train of thought is that the speakers will take the place of the sound bar and wireless sub and connect directly to the TV thus they will work as my speakers for the TV and provide me stereo sound. I can plug them into the surge protector and hide that cable and the tethering cable in the stand behind pictures and assorted what-nots. I am really under educated as to how these wireless amps and gates work I will have to look into them.
I am not a lover of extreme levels of bass although I understand the need. I was hoping the R-28PF with the two 8" woofers would suffice in a room that is 10x12. It's a small room and even that speaker may be to large for the room. But there are times I feel compelled to hit the neighbors with some Stevie Ray Vaughn. I am also considering The Sixes with some 28" speaker stands. Because I am a man of limited means and spent what I did have on my kids education I have been out of the game for a very long time so I struggle with some of the technology out there.

That is an oddly amazing price. At the site the R26PF is $999.00 I wonder if it's a misprint and I question that because the R28 Non Powered Speaker http://www.klipsch.com/products/reference-floorstanding-speakers?model=r-28f
is that cost on the site.

Sigh. Sacrilege. Heresy.
Yeah I know, at the time I could not afford Klipsch, but the kid has graduated and its my time before I die. Got the Klipsch computer speakers, killer Klipsch Sound bar, next move is the WiFi Bluetooth Floor Standing speakers.

I guess I don't quite understand how going with powered floor-standers reduces your "wired mess"? ..Now, instead of one simple speaker cable running to each speaker, you now will have a thick proprietary cable that runs from one to the other. So no net gain there - you'll still have a cable at each. Plus, whereas a regular speaker cable can be 20-25 feet and therefore long enough to tuck under a carpet, this joiner cable probably won't be. Then there's the other wires from your sources (eg., cd player, turntable, streaming device, etc..). ..Now, instead of all of your source wires running discretely to your Amp which in most cases is on the same shelf, they will now have to stretch from whatever they are sitting on to connect to the master speaker. ..And those wires won't be long enough to run along the ground, they'll probably be visible from your seating position. ..They plug into the speaker about 1/2 the way up. And do you have a power outlet right next to the master speaker? If not, you'll now have an extension cord running to the master speaker.
I have no data to back this up but I bet this category of loudspeaker (powered floor-stander) has not been selling very well.
This isn't to suggest they don't sound great - I'm sure they do - I'm just not sure how they make for tidier installation?
But you no longer need a receiver, CD, player, turntable all the music is stream-able. And these speakers hook right to the TV so when I listen to music on Amazon Prime or Pandora it runs right to the speaker. A lot less cable mess. I just can't figure what the big diff between the R26PF and R28 PF is.

I am sure a lot of purists will chuckle at me so be it. I got tired of the wired mess sold the SAE equipment donated my JBL speakers system to a church. And have transitioned into the 2000s. I own a Klipsch Sound bar and the computer speakers (amazing what they did there) and I once owned some KG4s. I am torn between the R-28PF and The R-26PF the only major difference I see is the woofer size and the Freq Response is a little different. Is that the only discernible difference. I ask because at the site the R-26PF is $999.00 and New Egg is offering the R-28PF for $899.00 Am I missing something here that seems like a good deal for $899.00

Many moons ago I was the proud owner of the Klipsch KG4 they since passed and I am on to newer technologies. My son has got me into the wireless age and I have down loaded about 7,000 songs to my phones and tablets. I have a very small music room 10x12, and I soon plan to buy the Klipsch R-26PF or the R-28PF. Not even sure a sub will be needed yet, but in the event I should what sub would best match this speaker? As there is no AV Receiver I assume it's not possible to go wireless Sub?
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Hello all first post; As I am a man of limited means I have to be very selective of my choices. I have been waiting a long time for Klipsch to bring wireless my way and was much as I hate to put the old KG4s out to pasture the time has come. I currently have the Klipsch KB-20 Sound Bar with wireless sub I am close to purchasing The Sixes as my room is only 10x12 think they are a nice fit, I want to add a small sub my question is, will the Sub from the sound bar work if not will the wireless R-10SWi work? As I also plan to purchase The Three or The One for a separate location will they operate separate of the sub?
Thanks in advance
The 15s?

So then by this train of thought there would never be a new Heritage model?
