I think we are experiencing an era where people just make up crazy prices. It’s like the Wild West now. 8k to 20k just isn’t reasonable.

I'm not trying to be hard, but his video is pretty vague for sharing his own product. I just feel dubious when I see someone selling wood cabinets with what appear to be generic horns and a very high ticket price. It just doesn't add up. I understand some need to make some money but Crites keeps the prices real and fair by comparison. Some of the prices people come up with are just so absurd. Even with inflation it still makes no sense to me.

How does this Justin Weber justify the high prices? I can't find any images of the components being used or the crossover networks. This just looks like nice cabinetry and the components just look like Crites. I'm not saying they're bad, I'm just saying why the high price? Crites makes a solid product at a very reasonable price including crossovers. I do professional cabinetry myself and once you have a system, it doesn't cost a lot to make any of this. Companies can get their components from China at an extremely reasonable price in quantity. Maybe the drivers are different, I don't know, but the information provided on the site is pretty vague.

Had a chance to give the Ojas a listen.

I find myself enjoying subs more these days btw. You raised valid points for sure.

Guys, sorry so late getting back here. Fido, Shakey, thanks again for all the feedback and thoughts. I've been bit busy and recently spent some time listening to the Klipsch Ojas and have been a bit busy doing a review which I'll post soon. I would very much enjoy to hear the Qualio again at some point. I think the attenuators are a very smart feature and it's great they are available. Something I didn't mention that Fido brought up was the depth of the upper end which was nice. Personally I think if the attenuator help smooth out the top end, it would be fantastic. I hope we can have another listen at some point to give them a chance to boogie. I admit I've always enjoyed the sound of horns from Klipsch and have had a hard time using alternatives for my jazz sessions. Happy Thanksgiving guys! ---daniel drD E

Cool still hoping once Fido gets a chance to set it up should be really good. He says he’s been working with the attenuators which is great.

Thanks for the thoughts. Wishing you well too. 👍

I’ve noticed some listeners who have acoustic treatment in the corners alongside and behind these speakers in some videos. Isn’t this defeating the purpose of using the corner as an extension of the K-horn? Why do some listeners do this while others don’t? Thank you, Daniel

I’m sorry to hear about the cancer. I’m dealing with it myself.

I realize using earbuds and listening to sound demos doesn’t give you the true life performance. Even so, everything is relative. For example, I can hear if mid range is more evident or if treble is less or more evident or bass is more evident or less, etc. All of the sound demos I hear online with the Qualio using earbuds just do not sound as open and airy as Klipsch Heritage speakers. The sound stage sounds smaller and more restricted compared to horns. It’s like the midrange sounds small and doesn’t project like a horn. I can tell right away when I listen. Again, I realize my statements are not fair because I have not compared them in real life as you guys have, however, with regard to sound demos using earbuds online, I am not sure if the Qualio is the right speakers for my taste. Klipsch Heritage speakers are not about refined sound. They are about the soulful and realistic experience. I struggle with other speakers. I guess I’m just still not understanding what others are getting from these Qualio speakers yet.

89db efficient. How do you guys drive these?

Interesting. I’m curious about this now since both of you are very experienced.

Thank you.

No disrespect but cost often doesn’t dictate quality of sound. I listen primarily to jazz and blues and klipsch Heritage speakers bring a sense of realism that speakers costing many times more still can’t evoke.
