Batmans Robin Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I read this review but don't know what the audiophile reviewer really thinks of them. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-10033013-47.html What do these sound like compared to K-horns, my Klipsch reference? I want especially to hear from Klipschheads who own them or have listened to them for a protracted period of time but if you want to just guess that's okay too. [] And a belated happy birthday to D, S, and S. You know who you are [] [] [] [^] [^] [^] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho Nacho Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 How did you know it was my Birthday, Thanks Robin. BTW is there such a thing as an extra large 20 dollar bill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 From what I've read, the Palladiums are the ultimate expression of the Reference-type sound. They sound great, but different from Heritage-line speakers. The Jubilee is the ultimate expression of the Heritage sound. Choose your favourite flavour and enjoy your music.

Batmans Robin Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 I am not sure if I have heard Reference? When did they first start manufacture? I have heard K-Horns, K-Horns with a La Scala center, and La Scalas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 In spite of having heard them, I don't think the Palladiums nor the Reference lines, really exist. I KNOW the Jubilee doesn't. (my wife has fixed my medications and now I see the error of my ways) [] Robin... value is held in the ear (and wallet of course []). I personally am to cheap to ever buy a 20K pair of speakers so for me, it's somewhat of a moot point. I'm rather tickled though that I was able to buy a pair that had they been built to a 'furniture grade' might have cost $20,000 for about $7,000 in ugly black. They still sound the same and that is what I care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 From what I've read, the Palladiums are the ultimate expression of the Reference-type sound I've heard the Palladiums on two seperate occasions and own Reference speakers. I would tend to agree with that statement. I would love to hear Jubs someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 "Exceedingly acomplished" seems to be all he said from what I read. I've never heard them but if they may have a similar sound to my RF-7's but better, sounds like a winner to me. 20 G's?...darn the luck.

tigerwoodKhorns Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I think this is what the reviewer thinks of them: "It's a serious rock and roll animal, built to handle dynamics and power like ultra high-end speakers that retail for many times the price of the P-39F. Bass is meaty and solid, yet as clear and concise as the mid-range and treble. Oh, and before you get the impression these bad boys have to be played at lease breaking volume to sound their best, I found them exceedingly accomplished at hushed, late night volume as well." I'd say he likes them. I was at an audio show for the last two days . There are a lot of speakers the we never hear of that sound fantastic and are much more expensive than $20,000. I've never heard them but the Palladiums may be a bargain at $20,000 if they are compared to their peers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno about the speakers but I'll bet that they are driven by Balanced Audio Technology equipment (known in the hobby as BAT)[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyman Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I heard the Palladiums a couple of weeks back and they did sound really good.This is just my personal apinion I think with a good sub and the La Scala II I would be just as happy and so would my wallet.
