Rxonmymind Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Can someone please show me the thread comparing the various Heritage speaker sizes together. I've looked and looked. Lost the place. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 If you can find an old sales brochure'/leaflet it should have a good group shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rxonmymind Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Kinda gives me an idea what can fit in the other room. Didn't realize that the Cornwall's were bigger than the Bell's. Whoa. Anyway, all about proportions. Thanks! Where do the Forte fit size wise in that lineup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I think that marketing material photo is a bit misleading....you can of course find the dimensions on the web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Now that jimjimbo has pointed it out, it appears the images in that 1980's brochure picture were cut and pasted. The specs for the years of those speakers pictured indicate the La Scala is 35 1/4" tall, the Belle is 35 5/8" and the Cornwall is 35 3/4". The Klipschorn style B is 52" tall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jujubee Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I was kind of shocked, not surprised, when Klipsch went from Baltic Birch to MDF. I know it works just fine, but it that crap gets well, you find out real fast that MDF is simply thick paper. Then, to charge the absurd price of $14,000, silly as hell. Simply follows the Greater Fool theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure someone will correct me if I've got this wrong... But, starting with v1.5, wasn't the CW available from the factory with an optional riser? That might account for the difference in height. The photo might be accurate (?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endo Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Not to make a big deal out of it, or anything; but, considering printing technology of the time (printers were using negatives and stat cameras, waxing type to paste-boards, etc.) I would say the image, as presented, is likely authentic. I did graphics in a print shop back then: As I look at the secondary and tertiary lighting, shadows, reflections... It would have been next to impossible to pull that off (no Photoshop)--and even if you did a great job--you still couldn't avoid 'leaving tracks in the snow' with that arrangement of objects in those lighting conditions... In addition, it seems out-of-character for PWK. Its hard to imagine him tolerating less-than-accurate marketing and not being embarrassed by it. Its a matter of integrity. Just my 2 cents. Who knows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
