ClaudeJ1 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Very dyanamic, no doubt. How is the imaging with that set up? It's very good. It's like the musicians are on the other side of the wall, which is an entire wall of sound. Greater depth of soundstage and ambience recovery than the Khorns or Lascals, probably because my voice coils are all lined up. G. Kennedy was here and he described it that way as well. He also decided right then and there he needed more bass for his LaScalas. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude, when you say that the voice coils are lined up, do you mean the voice coils on the woofer, squawker and tweeter are aligned vertically? The soundstage must be incredible on your system.

Claude, when you say that the voice coils are lined up, do you mean the voice coils on the woofer, squawker and tweeter are aligned vertically? The soundstage must be incredible on your system. Yes it is. 13.3 feet by 7 feet tall...........a solid wall of sound. There's a 2 foot gap behind the MWMs' to their respective corners, and all the voice coils for the Midbass, Mid, and Tweeters are jammed into the corner. I know it's not perfect relative to the real "acoustic origins" at a given frequency, but it's minimum phase 1st order networks, and the horns are progressively angled inward and downward to and in front of the sweet spot, so it's a heck of a lot closer than a K55 on a khorns, which is about 4 feet offset, stuck at a 45% angle, etc.........hence the GREAT soundstage of my setup Plus the "normal" power usage is about 100 milliwatts, with maybe 2 watt peaks on music and 10 Watt peaks when stuff blows up in movies.

Phredd47 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Just a simple dude here....but I'll take My KLF-30's, or keep I should say. As far as the "best" goes, isn't it what pleases One's ears the most? I've had the chance to listen to the Klipschorn's, LaScala's, Heresy's, RF-7's, RF-62's, 82's, RF-63's, and finally the RF-83's which I purchased. Maybe it's because I've listened to the KLF-30's the longest that I've grown accustomed to them. Also had the KLF-20's, but sold. I preferred the bigger footprint of the 30's. Just My 2 cents.

Pete H Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Good topic with no answer, unless there's some way to arrange for hundreds of speakers to be listened to in the same room with the same equipment and even if that were possible, there will still be many different opinions based on what you like, but when it all comes down to it, that's all that matters. What you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyrc Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Consumer lines only: Best Jubilee preferrably bi-amped and EQd-- see Chris A's posts Klipschorn AK 4, AK5, (AK6?). La Scala II, III (II and III probably better?) or Belle Klipsch (all need a subwoofer -- in my room, below 60 Hz). Consider a horn loaded subwoofer to preserve tight, clean bass. Forte III Heresy III, IV, probably IV is best, with a subwoofer Top of the Reference or Reference Premiere line. Worst (but still good) All have clear, low distortion midrange and treble, high dynamic range, sensitivity ranging from high to extremely high. Those with horn loaded bass (Jubilee, Klipschorn, La Scala II and III, and Belle Klipsch) also have clean, low distortion bass. There is nothing as clean in the bass as well designed horn loading. All could probably use some EQ, especially a slight midrange cut and some judicious bass boost. In general, they are noted for clarity, openness, high dynamic range as well as good microdynamics, excellent brass and percussion. They may not be as smooth ("flat") in frequency response as some (usually more expensive) "audiophile" speakers, but those same "audiophile" speakers sometimes sound veiled by comparison. Your own ears, in your own room, should be your final judge. Listen with a great variety of program material. Buy with a return privilege. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
