twistedcrankcammer Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Top 3 are Klipschorn(2 pair), La Scala(3 pair) and Cornwall(2 pair). Have also owned KG2, KG4, Chorus II, Belles and 5 different pairs of Heresey. I am talking over a 41 year span. Do you really want to get into total numbers of speakers owned? Because I'm thinkin Colter, Kevin Harmon, myself, Scrappy, and Youthman could come up with some impressive numbers for ya! Roger Oh no no no Roger, I cannot compete with the likes of those fine gentlemen and was certainly not attempting to. However, I did begin the journey with a brand new pair of La Scalas at the ripe old age of 17. That has to be worth something right? Definitely! I got my first Job when I was 15. the first thing I bought was a Pioneer SX-3900 receiver. I knew what Lascalas were, but they were out of my $2.65/hr price range, so I bought Realistic Mach 1's instead. My second setup, I went in planning on getting LaScalas. I bought a brand new Nakamichi TA-4A receiver and I told them I also wanted some LaScalas, but they didn't have any in stock and weren't interested in ordering me any. They had Klipschorns on hand, but again, those were out of my budget. I said sell me some Heresies and they didn't have any, and again, were not interested in helping me out. They took me in the room that was a step down from the High end and they had Chorus II's, Forte'II's, and Quartets. I took one look at that non-plywood osb and was bummed and pissed at the same time. I wouldn't even listen to them, I said give me the small ones thinking they would only be a temporary thing to listen too, and thus my Klipsch ownership started. I also bought a nakamichi CD 3 player at the same visit, and that was my setup plus a Micro Seiki DD-35 turn table, for a long time. So starting off with LaScalas, you definitely got a jump on me and what I wanted Roger Edited February 19, 2016 by twistedcrankcammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 The only Klipsch product I have owned have been La Scalas... 1 pair in the early 1980s, and 3 in 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J M O N Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 It's one thing to have owned a lot of speakers over time, but it's an entirely different matter to currently own a lot of speakers all at once. From what I remember, Tony Reed had about the largest collection of speakers I have been aware of -- trumping me by a large margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtr20 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'm changing my answer Belles KLF 30s KLF 20s We have my belles singing beautifully now. My friend brought over a vintage Sony receiver from the 70s. That was the biggest difference. I bought it from him instantly, and I am so happy. These belles are amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_Klipsch_Guy Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 The only Klipsch speakers I ever had (and wish I still did... life intervened...) were a pair of Black Klipschorns with custom glass tops and the serial number labels signed by Paul. I would contend that the signatures only slightly enhanced the bass performance... LOL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Cornwalls Belles Heresy's The Belles are new to me, had them about a year, still getting used to them. Maybe one day I can move them to the top of the list. The Cornwalls, though, are pure magic. I want to use Cornwall an Belle together. Have you tried that? JWEB I used the Belle as a center for the CWs and a CW for a center with the Belles. Ks with a Belle center and CWs for rears is awfully good Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J M O N Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Everyone on the list I made presently has ALOT of Klipsch Speakers PERIOD!!! Roger Oh, I don't doubt that at all. But I wondered where Tony Reed ranks on that list. This was years ago, but my last recollection was that he owned somewhere around 80 speakers (at one time) and many were the big ones.

wvu80 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) I have a set of belles, but I can't get them to sound great. I have replaced the crossovers with Crites, but something is still not right. Edit: I saw further upstream that you had worked out your Belle sound with a vintage receiver. Glad your sound is now where you expect it to be. Edited February 26, 2016 by wvu80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
