fuzzydog Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 1979 or 80 at Read Brothers in Charleston SC . Complete Klipsch consumer lineup at the time . KHorns , Belle's , LaScalas , Cornwalls and Heresy's . I stopped by Read Brothers about 1 year ago. They still sell audio gear out of a back room (you have to walk through their fabric store front end and be ushered to the back), but all they had hooked up to demo was a set of Maggies and didn't carry Klipsch.

NEVER The last I heard Heritage was at Custom Audio. They had beautiful Khorns and La Scala but the setup was bad. They eventually let the Khorns sell for very little money.

tblake10 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Solutions Home Entertainment in Hot Spring, Arkansas. That was last year and I bought a pair of Heresy 3's from them. Won't part with them. They have all the heritage on the floor except Khorns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was Christmas before last. Sadly they have gone out of business now. That was the first place I heard Klipsch 30 years ago and with my buddy and he brought a pair of birch heresies home w/cane grills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Sound Idea in 1989 in DFW TX. They had Heresys. I did not hear them. I wanted to because they had 12" woofers but the salesman told em that they had no bass. I bought JBL L60T's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedcrankcammer Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 [...I keep telling those stores that when Klipsch gets an order, they don't care if they're for a customer or for demo-ing. Well, the flip-side to that is the limited market for these speakers makes having them on display not cost effective and there is the rub...As Larry mentioned earlier, the only people wanting to audition these great speakers are the ones that have followed the Klipsch story and would more-than-likely buy used after they started doing cost comparisons. Fwiw, I still think there are a number of people on other forums commenting on Klipsch Heritage speakers, who chances are never heard them. I may be wrong but... I agree, I have talked to numerous people that think anything Klipsch is a Klipschorn because they have seen a Klipsch Synergy product or Reference product made by Klipsch and it had a horn...

jason str Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I auditioned the Klipsch Heratige lineup not too long ago, i thought the Cornwall III sounded better than any other Cornwall i ever heard. Once again i thought the La Scala with a good subwoofer sounded much better than the Klipschorn. The Klipschorn midbass is missing and sounds off where the La Scala shines in comparison.

Wow, interesting comment on khorn vs. la scala w/sub. May be a good thing to follow up on in another thread.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason str Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Simply Stereo is where i go also. Its nice to be able to A/B different speakers with the touch of a button + they carry a nice selection of Klipsch products among other things. In fact i purchased my current pair of Chorus II's from them back when they were still available. I was looking for a preamp there but the selection was thin, i ended up picking up a used NAD from C-list and am very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Dee Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I think it's really cool that Chicago has a store with a Heritage listening room. Last time i heard Heritage in a store was back in the day at Custom Audio in North Little Rock. They had a really nice listening room. For a number of years Custom Audio had a LR store and a NLR store. Not sure when the NLR store closed. Was last in Custom Audio probably 2000 and 2003. During those visits they didn't have any Heritage in the store. Think most of their business was HT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
