Kain Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Looking at KEF, JBL, and some other brands, Klipsch doesn't have that "flashy" and attractive look. I really like those speakers that look nice and attractive. Imagine, great sounding Klipsch in a great looking speaker "casing" would kick BOOTY! Do you think the next Reference Series (or any other series) will change their look? ------------------ Coming soon...

M6 Driver Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Well I figure if Klipsch goes with a more flashy wacked out design then your talking big bucks to pay for the redesign etc so I hope they don't travel down that road but I'd like to them offer a better selection of finishes for the Heritage heck even the Reference series, Like Birds Eye Maple.. I've tossed around the thought of recabineting (is that a word?) my KLF's and C7 but I'm sure that's not as easy as it sounds. ------------------ "FULLY LOADED" J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Sure, Klipsch could make wacky, you call them "stylish" speakers, but they offer no place for the ceramic kitty. Talk about style... fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kain Posted June 18, 2002 Author Share Posted June 18, 2002 Hey people, Don't get me wrong here. I am not saying Klipsch speakers look bad, all I am saying that they are not as "flashy" as other speakers. Actually, I think the current Reference Series design suits Klipsch: clean and simple. ------------------ Coming soon...

chuckears Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 I love the way my Fortes look. Sometimes, if the family is watching something less than interesting on the tube, my eyes wander to where they have sat for so many years, and I fall in love all over again.

klipguy Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 well klipsch did make some nice speakers which im verry proud to own they are the KSP 400 main speakers , and the KSP-S6 rears, they dont make them anymore ...you can check them out here at my site.. http://www.angelfire.com/nt/FB/fb.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 klipguy- I agree. The KSP-400's are quite stylish (and good sounding). I love mine. I'm curious, though, about a couple of things. Why do you need the separate subs? Also, in my opinion, you should get a KSP-C6 to replace the RC-7. The C6 is an exact match for the 400's, and come up on Ebay with regularity. Of course, if you're happy with the set-up, that's all that matters. fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Too bad the La Scala industrials with the metal trim are not still made, Of course you could find a great pair every once in a while on EBAY. They look soooo bold and rugged. Would be cool to see out in the open in a room too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Oh, I LOVE the look of the Avantgardes! Many people say they sound really nice, too. They ought to. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDBRbuilder Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 What's stylish today, isn't stylish tomorrow. Chrome and glitter do nothing to add to the FUNCTION of a speaker. For me, I tend to stick with classic real wood veneers...and cabinets of speakers that mate well with fine furniture...especially since they are NEVER truly out of style...that is why they are called "classic"!! Besides, I have never heard any listening benefit from chrome and glitter!! Frank Lloyd Wright said it best: "Form follows function!!" MOST interior decorators are the biggest jokes to ever come along...what a con game!! Just show MOST interior decorators a pic of a k-horn and listen to them rant and rave about how it just won't fit into a proper decor of today...and ten years from the time you hear that, do it again...and listen to the change in their response!! They will use terms like the above quote from Wright, but seldom ever actually practice it!! ------------------ I can now receive private messages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikekid Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 That reminds me of some of these PATHETIC home decorating shows on tv now. Take a perfectly fine house or room and destroy it. Then pretend you like it. Man, I'm GLAD I'm "old fashioned"!!!!! Later Mike (The Yamaha Underdog) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
