There is a delivery possibility as I have a meeting in Clearwater mid May. I was going to drive my SS Convertible but could possibly drive my pickup.

Talk about 7 hours of nervous....... Can you bring the Palladiums too? Would love to hear them in my room. I'm jealous bro. Post some pics when you can. Would love to see these beauties. Ok, so I brought my son in the HT for a few demos. We watched Lindsey Sterling's "Shatter Me". We listened to the 83's first. I swapped cables and set the volume at the same dB and replayed the video with the LaScalas. At the end, I asked what he thought and he said they were "clearer". He said, "Honestly, I'm really surprised they sound better". I told him let's check out a movie demo and he suggested The Book of Eli scene. After the A/B Comparison, he said the Lascalas had "more clarity" and he said, "they drew me in more....I dunno what it was about it.....the 83's sounded good, it's just the LaScalas seemed more exciting for some reason". I have a buyer for the RF-83's and RC-64....he wanted to come first thing this morning and I told him I definitely wanted to take my time and make sure I was willing to part with the 83's. Honestly, there is no doubt in my mind that the LaScalas have more clarity, dialog is cleaner and highs are brighter but I'm still not 100% ready to sell the 83's. I mentioned to the wife tonight about the possibility of keeping both and she asked, "Do you want more speakers so you can brag?" LOL. No, that's not the intent at all. I just can't bring myself to tell her I'm just addicted and need help. Scrappy....is that a Selfie I see? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho Panza Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Don't believe I'd sell the 83s/64 just yet...what are you going to listen to while the LS xover work is being done? 'Course if WJ re-caps while you watch, or you slide in New from Dean... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted April 26, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2014 Ok, here is the crazy thing....I don't use the HT every single week so if it was out of commission for a bit, I'm patient enough that I could be ok with it if I chose to have the XO's done. My son uses it more than I do to play games on the PS4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was raised with good sound, he knows what to listen for. You do realize he is set for life, he will never be happy with bad sound, he has been trained well and it will stick with him the rest of his life.

DizRotus Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys. Too bad my room wasn't just a few feet wider as the LaScalas prevent me from opening the bottom left and bottom right cabinet doors. They are pretty massive speakers and take up a lot of real estate. Oh no, now you are going to be bragging like those Heritage guys, lol.It's funny how when I first started the in the forums, how I would often say that to my eyes, that I did not care for the design of the "older" klipsch speakers because they look so "dated" and that I prefer the much more modern look of the Reference Series. While this is still somewhat true, my opinion has begun to change the closer I get to 40. LOL. I'm beginning to appreciate all Klipsch speakers, both current models as well as older generations. It's an age thing. I'm 65 and until I heard Picky's HT system, I was only interested in Klipsch that was plywood with a tweeter from 600 Cecil St., Buchanan, MI. Now that I've been exposed to Klipsch made this century, I realize there's much more to like than just Heitage.

MichaelandKlipsch Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 We should create a new thread that tells our story and how all of us have literally made the theaters we have today. I remember years ago having my 60" elite with quintets and thinking I was on tip of the world. This forum is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I've been exposed to Klipsch made this century, I realize there's much more to like than just Heitage. I think you are correct. I'm 38 and didn't grow up with my father or grandfather owning any speakers. Because of that, at 12, I saved up and bought my first Pioneer receiver and Technics speakers. I've always owned "modern" speakers so the Heritage always looked "dated" and "old school" to me. Well...my vision hasn't changed so they still look "dated" and "old school" but I now have an appreciation for the heritage line of speakers. Truth is, when the lights go out and the movie begins, you won't see the speakers anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Got room to use the RF-83s as Wides? Or, do you plan to just keep using the RS-62IIs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
