Cornwalled Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I never thought I'd have a pair of Klipsch speakers in my living room, but you never know what fate will through at you. I traded some electronics I wasn't using for three pairs of speakers, with the plan of selling them to raise some DESPARATELY needed rent money! Among them is a pair of Sansui SP-1500s, KLH SCX-3a (really wild with the predecessor to Infinity's EMIT tweeters) and a pair of Klipsch Tangent 400. I must say, these things sound really good! They remind me of my Cornwalls, but a little brighter, and perhaps a smidge less bass. Overall, they're a very refined sounding speaker. I'm told they're a Heresy II in a larger cabinet. Until today, I've never heard the second generation of Heritage horns, and I must say I'm impressed. The midrange seems more refined than my old Cornwalls. It's a slightly different sound. Less "vintage" sounding perhaps, but definitely still in the family. Hopefully I can enjoy them for a bit before I have to sell them. I'm told some people here have talked poorly of these speakers, but frankly, I can't see why. They play loud and clear and sound good to these ears! -Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornwalled Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Here's a picture of the KLH, just because it's so wild that I thought you guys would appreciate it. Gotta do the refoam thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubdog Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Those are very interesting KLH. Do you know when they were built? cubdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornwalled Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hey cubdog, I agree, they do look interesting. I'm trying to track down a re-foam kit so I can get them going. I think they were built in the late 70's / early 80's. -Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 They were built in the early 90's speaking to the Tangent line. They could still be found in the archives here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornwalled Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 I think these were made in 92, if I'm reading the serial number right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Started to say that but wasn't certain. If I ran into a pair local, I would let curiosity get to me, no doubt. Not shabby specs, as recall now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
