rebuy Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) I viewed the rollout online of the CES Show and Klipsch. Personally, I thought it was kind of a sleeper. Edited January 11, 2015 by rebuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I am holding any judgment on the RP series until I hear them. I like the new horn and the new footprint a lot, and I think there's a lot of promise with the ATMOS line. The headphones are absolutely killer...and I can't wait to get my hands on a pair and move my old Reference One's onto slacker duty. And the Heritage-Inspired towers...if those end up being produced will be absolutely a bomb. No sleepers there IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I consider "sleeper" to be a compliment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHASLS2 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Can't say until i hear them. The only Klipsch speakers on my radar would be the RF7ll's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodrewken Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm glad they came out with the Atmos line in the RP's. Looking forward to hear how all those little changes add up to improving the sound. I'm having to deal with nap time now, so I'm in the market for a quality pair of headphones. The heritage wireless looks great! I have the KCM 3 and it sounds sweet, so I can only imagine the Stadium sounds that much better. And even more so with the Stadium sound improved upon in the new heritage line. I hope enough interest is generated for these to become reality. Overall I thought it was a good show.

Gorm Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Honestly, I miss the days of real wood veneer on almost every speaker. Of course I did just order a pair of ABS pro-line surround speakers...so what do I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSamuel Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I miss the days of real wood veneer on almost every speaker. Even the most lowly RatShack speakers, 'cept for the aluminum cabinets Minimus 7 and 11, and they did have a Minimus 7W (walnut veneer) had real wood veneer. I too miss those days.

jimjimbo Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 The Heritage-inspired speakers at CES 2015 had real wood veneer. Yea, but still a corporate marketing decision to be made...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see. Tomorrow, I am putting together a collection of reactions to the speakers on social media for the executives to examine.

derrickdj1 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I like the new Heritage inspired line. I don't care for the wireless part. I also think Klipsch made a good move to increase sales with the RP line and to offer a small size speaker than the old Reference line. There is still a great market for the RF 7 and RC 64 speakers but, the smaller and cheaper RP will suit most people for surrounds. Next year around this time we will know how these changes were embraced by the public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 But the RP's aren't cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'd like to know which models are supposed to go with what? Does the 450 center go with the new 280 towers? 440 go with the 260 and the dual 5 inch center go with the 250? Seems all wrong. Woofers should be similar across the front stage. The wisa towers with the 4 4" woofers in a passive model with that 440 center I think could be a hot seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the project moves forward, you can bet they will have real wood veneer. That is a fundamental aspect of the aesthetic, and one which would never be removed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
