vasubandu Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I am in the process of updating my home threater system after doing nothing for a decade. I have an old Denon AVR 2807 receivr and a 60 inch Pionerr 1080p plasma. My speakers are Paradigm Millenia and generally great speakers, but I was intrigued with the atmos thing. I was wondering if anyone had experience with going from audiophile speakers to Klipsch for home theater. As much as I like the Millenia, they don't have much oomph. I most just want clear dialog. Thanks for any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftgf Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Well if you consider paradigm millennia "audiophile" then prepare to be blown away by almost any of klipschs offerings. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 If you consider any of this stuff to be "hi-fi" - don't ever listen to a pair of Tekton's...I love Klipsch, but a spade is a spade. Still, some of the best bang for the buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you have 2 good questions -- Is Atmos cool and does Klipsch do it well Is Klipsch an upgrade from where you are Yes to both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Who ever said Paradigm was a step up is wrong. You have not experienced HT without a Klipsch setup. It will be more dynamic, pinpoint clarity and blast you off the set. ' If Klipsch is not hi fi, what is? Clarity, power. accuracy, and constant directivity. I am not sure what you are looking for in an HT. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what you are looking for in an HT. This is true. My local Klipsch dealer also sells Paradigm and they really push Paradigm over Klipsch. I started with a Paradigm Monitor v7 5.1 setup which apparently is their best seller. That was a mistake very dull. I'm not good at describing how things sound but underwhelming to say the least. I then switched to a Prestige setup definitely a step up but for the money I didn't feel like I was getting good value. I was happier with my 2.0 Forte setup. And to the OP you will most likely be happy with Klipsch. I'm sure if you give a few more details on budget and what type of setup you want you will get many suggestions from the forum. Me personally I put a hold on my HT pursuit until I can afford a Heritage setup. It will be worth the wait! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pretty much were addressing everyone in the forum with your statement when you at the very least insinuated that Klipsch and Paradigm were not HiFi but Tekton's were . This is forum for people that enjoy Klipsch products , So a very broad statement from someone with I'm guessing a very narrow range of experience with Klipsch Products. Tekton makes some nice speakers , Iv'e only heard the Pendragons in person . I know they have several models above that , but I could name alot of Klipsch speakers that would slay those Pendragon's Of course this only my opinion . Maybe you can tell me witch Tekton's you've heard and which (Non HiFi ) Klipsch you've heard so I can try to understand your statement a little better !

Thanks for any suggestions. Klipsch are very good at clear dialogue. Klipsch are efficient, dynamic, have clear dialogue and oomph to spare, which is ideal for home theater use IMO. There are plenty of other options out there that are also great for home theater for similar reasons, but you are here in the Klipsch forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any suggestions. Interesting perspective of Paradigm, particularly Millenia, vs Klipsch. Considering the two posts, vasubandu could use some help since they are not very happy. I do admit, if you go to the Klipsch systems to purchase, it is frustrating to scroll through all the pictures to see how and what you MIGHT be able to order. Then the atmos systems show up with zero pricing.... Oh but that is vasubandu's other post and hate to say it, have to agree if I was to buy something directly from Klipsch. This could be affecting their perspective but Paradigm doesn't sell direct to have the same purchasing issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
