Now that each and every flaw in Aaron's $12k pair of Heritage has been brought to his attention how could he be happy and not worry? Go to the Pilgrimage in April and meet the people that made his speakers.. makes a world of difference, to both parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked at a box label for a regular 2015 Klipschorn (picture in garage sale, alerts) and it states for serial #1 to be matched with serial #2.

jason str Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 This dealer screwed up at least twice selling limited edition anniversary Klipschorns that do not match, something should be done to resolve the issue. If not fixed by the dealer then Klipsch should get involved to make things right for both parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even standard Klipschorns are book matched nicely, Klipsch has their name on these and they should care. It makes them look bad. Advertising products to potential new customers that see their loudspeakers and drool over not just the sound but the looks is what makes new sales possible.

Right, but there's only 70 pairs of these. And they're meant to be sold at a premium.. it shouldn't be that hard to keep them paired up. Just because you got a good deal doesn't mean you should have to deal with incomplete product experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'm betting one of the mating speakers was lost/damaged in shipping and thus began the exercise of splitting mated pairs. Probably also why you got such a good deal on this pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably also why you got such a good deal on this pair. Something funny actually when I was talking to the dealer that the original K horns fell through he told me Klipsch had a mismatched pair they were selling at a great discount. I told him I'd take em but he said he contacted them and they had already given them to a dealer.. Who' know's maybe that explains it. I don't think onecall knew though because I remember when I was speaking with the guy about them when I originally purchased he said they were book matched and all that. The whole problem with this is, there are so many potential problems that could arise like the actual person that loaded them on to the truck more than likely had no idea they were supposed to be matched and just grabbed two somewhere down the line although on the box it does say the serial number and to be matched with ... but unfortunately not many people pay attention to stuff like that.

USNRET Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I had purchased 3 new pair (none matched) and several used before I had heard of matched pairs. Now that I think back I don't remember the non-matched sounding any different than matched and didn't notice by looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budman Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipschorn-Original-Speaker-SALES-SHEET-GOOD-CONDITION-/201717381598?hash=item2ef74af9de%3Ag%3ASpsAAOSwn7JYEVKr&nma=true&si=e%2BXsrX%2B6Gjm3A8PyOIJ7fUHlNIs%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 the Klipschorn ad says each pair is precisely matched for color and grain structure, one tiny flaw in one speaker and the pair is destroyed later on in years when they had problems with the veneer they painted them black so i guess today when they have a mismatched pair they sell them at a discount or B-Stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
