There may have been a pair of passive 15's in the office doing a little shootout against the Forte and Sonus Faber...

That photo is so awesome.

 

I would never get any work if I knew there was a room filled with stuff like this in the same building I worked in.

 

Hopefully you burned the Sonus Fabers when you were done (just kidding).

ultimately, the speaker should reproduce the input signal as faithfully as possible; not produce.  we are not tuning guitars and drums here.  so tone or voicing or whatever should be to ref signals.  at least that what paul thought....unless his lessons and objectives are obsolete......

@Chief bonehead. I have heard you talk about "voicing speakers" in response to questions about this.  So was Paul's "voicing" of a speaker a matter of getting as faithful reproduction as possible?

 

Take your current 2 way Jubilee, that is some very accurate reproduction to my ears.  It sounds "alive".  Everything else, every other speaker (except one or 2, both well in excess of 75K), sound colored or veiled in some manner.  Not to say they are bad, they just sound different.

Is this new Jainbaby person an actual engineer at Klipsch, or a sales/marketing dude? Or maybe a manager? I'll just come right out and say that description of the vision for the Fifteens is incredibly disappointing. Like it seriously sucked out all my excitement, and was even insulting.

 

*sigh*

 

And to think I was going to buy these speakers without ever hearing them...I suppose I should thank him for the heads up.

Well out target release date of the FIFTEENS is still many months away.  As to where to hear the ONE and THREE, our initial shipment sold out before they arrived in our warehouse, so initial rollout was limited.  Are you located in Texas?  I can ask out regional sales manager for a store where you can listen to them if you would like.  

 

They both sound great and we are getting fantastic reviews, the THREE will blow away what you may think is possible in a $399 table top speaker.

Doc. The engineer working on this is Chris. And although Chris and I disagree on some things, he does a great job on the getting the speaker to be a reproducer.....if they let him. Lol!

I don't know these speakers at all. Do they have a horn in them?  Just curious.
