Hi Im not sure where I should be asking this question, its really more for Klipsch speaker makers and designers. The question I have is why do the $1000 each speakers have such bad fequency response in compairision to the smaller and cheaper speakers. Here is what I mean: the $279 each RB 81 II has a frequency response of 44Hz-24KHz ± 3dB. The $1000 each Hersey III s have a frequency reponse of 58Hz – 20kHz. and it has a 12" woofer, that makes zero sense to me. And the Hersey have 3 times larger cabinets. The La Scala II s have a 15" woofer and a frequency response of only 51Hz – 17kHz +/– 4dB and it is in a huge cabinet and they cost $4000 each. So your telling me that the tiny little 8" woofer speakers have a better frequency response at $279 than a speaker with a horn loaded 15" speaker costing thousands more? The klipsch Horns cost $6000 each but the frequency response is only 33Hz – 17kHz. I personaly own a pair of R28F speakers and I love them , they have almost the same frequency repsonse 35Hz - 24kHz +/- 3dB as the klipsch Horns. The R28F cost only $450ea but the horns cost $6000 ea. I know the horns have a higher SENSITIVITY 105dB @ 2.83V / 1m. but the frequency response is barely lower than the 450$ R28F with a SENSITIVITY 98dB @ 2.83V / 1m . I just trying to say that for the money you get a better frequency response with the cheaper smaller speakers and it should for sure be the other way around! Please dont get me wrong, I love the sound of my klipsch speakers and I would like to get a pair of the larger speakers, but how do I justify buying larger more expensive speakers with worse frequency response. I know you are not the ones I should be asking these question too but I dont see a way to contact the makers or designers of the speakers anywhere on the website or on this forum. Please forward this to the makers and designers so they can hopefully answer my questions. Or if you have a way of contacting the design department please forward that information to me. Thank You
