Well , I was wnating to up grade as I did not think my Kg's were anything special , and I am still not sure they are, 6 months ago after doing several searchs for " best speakers under $5K " and 10K , Harbeth ppeared o n several list . Harbeth C7's were the only ones on CL in my area , or any area for that matter .
S , I purchased them , put the Klipsch away for the 6 months and only listened to the Harbeth .
Yesterday , got'em out and wired them up side by side in several different ways , I could not make the Harbeth sound close to as good as the Klipsch .
The Klipsch has only one horn and may be a good thing , 8" speaker , too, and a passive bass I believe that's what it's called .
So , People can get brainwashed into believing all the adjectives placed on speakers by reviewing professionals as I was in the months of reading them , I mean , it took me awhile to understand just how good my Harbeth's are supposed to be , until I compared them side by side with my Klipsch , just no comparison , hands down , my Klipsch is better , no honking horns , no fatigue , so much more clear , articulate , reveling and so on with the adjectives.
So , now , my search is for Altec , Klipsch , JBL or any other horned speaker as my KG5.2 are no where near the best of them , well , I am guessing they are not , no one mentions the KG5.2 on any forums
There's a pair of La Scala's , asking $2K , 1980ish , in my area for sale , how's that for a price ????
