rplace Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Based on the three Ss - Size, Sentimentality and SOUND. I'd have to go with Forte II. For the first two of those Ss Heresy. If I was stuck on a desert island with no walls I don't think I'd want my Khorns. Then again if I was stuck on desert island I'd have more problems than corners. Like a sore tooth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am genuinely curious. I already do. But I could live with 2-way Jubilees with TAD 4002 drivers on K-402's. Missing the bass bins presently.

Jube has it's charms, but nothing a sub doesn't fix which is still required with Jube if you want to get to C0. Anyone who has read the 8 points knows why the K'horn is the K'horn and not a Jube. Within PWK's parameters the K'horn remains inherently unimprovable...until the change the laws of physics. Even PWK thought the Jubilee was an improvement, but he sold the company before he could put it above the Khorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I've heard all of them.....owned quite a few.I hear the potential in Khorns and Jubes but they always let me down.Chorus ll's......I always thought would be the speaker for me. Not the case.Forte ll's and Heresy's had to be the worst speakers I've ever heard.The Khorns and Jubes were brand new when I heard them on every occasion. Setup, gear and placement we're all factors I'm sure.All the other Heritage and extended Heritage models I heard had some things in common. They were used and up there in age. They sounded like 'cheap cabinets'. Definitely not high end. Forward midrange. Boxy bass.KLF-30's I've heard sound like a mess plenty more times than I've heard them sound good. They had characteristics that I did like so this is the direction I went. These speakers..... after reinforcing the cabs, replacing the tweeter diaphragms, replacing the mid driver with A-55G's and new crossovers from Crites.....they are keepers. I can only assume that any of the speakers I heard and didn't like would sound a heck of a lot better if they were 'up to snuff'.Oh, Palladiums are the best Klipsch I've ever heard. Every.....single.....time. Those would be the ones I'd keep, if I could afford them.[emoji106]Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muel Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Just one speaker? I'd say the left one... if I get tired of that I'll move it to the right. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted January 3, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2018 If you could have just one speaker for the rest of your life . . . . What we use for 2 ch now, and these are for the rest of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasubandu Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 @Woofers and Tweeters I had not thought about that, but just one speaker would be cruel and unusual punishment, so have a pair, but only of the same speaker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Forte IIIs of course. I mean seriously, they can be moved around easily. I've moved many many times in my life. Way too many for Jubes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also do not take up very much space. I'd keep these above all others. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W. Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Another vote for Jubilees. They never fail to put a smile on my face each day, especially when used for live music. Just amazing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Chi-town Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I have been happy with my forte II for 26 years, if I changed maybe forte III. Best regards, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YK Thom Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Palladium 39s would be magnificent or mint Electo-Voice Interface Ds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 For stock speakers that I have actually listened to, Khorns. For speakers I have not heard, Forte III. For a single set of speakers I would keep forever I would not want something "in-your-face." I want something which would not need a sub and would be pleasant to listen to for long periods of time at moderate to low listening levels.

I would guess size is the problem, not many crazy enough to put them in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
