Scrappydue Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 thanks everyone! it was a fun journey! 35 minutes ago, Vital said: So how do they sound? Are they everything you thought they'd be? They look amazing. they sound fantastic. i dont like judging things without actually a/b'ing things properly. But to my ears these sound better than any other speaker i have had in this living room. i know for sure that when i a/b'ed the palladium center channel to the legacy silver screen HD my buddy has i thought they were neck and neck with just tad fuller sound with the legacy. well when i a/b'ed the 893 to the legacy there was a clear winner. the diysg is better. what i was hoping for was palladium sound with better than duratex looks. think i nailed it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 It's amazing look at where we started in 2011. That was not that long ago. It's great seeing the progression of the guys that joined the Klipsch forum around the same time as I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL that was a spendy few months. wife was officially pissed and didn't see why. she's so used to it all now. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had ~6 pairs of speakers in my family room in the past year. I hear that's ok though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure i could look through pics and find out exactly how many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
