Up til recently, there is more research needing to be done, but....the indicators are already there. Hmm I thought that was pretty much written off as bunk. I remember them talking about three or four years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twk123 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Now here is a question: Is the Jubilee considered a 'Heritage' speaker? As for the whole 'Wireless" speaker trend, I see it going the same way as 3D Cinema. For boomboxes, sure Bluetooth is awesome. But for a HT is it silly to have to plug in your speakers to an outlet instead of running a normal AVR which will allow more options for component upgrades etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted June 5, 2018 Moderators Share Posted June 5, 2018 A different problem. Ever notice all the articles and threads about people having speakers cut out and having a hard time connecting and just being unreliably connected wirelessly? Could be a correlation ? If you want your stuff to work every time run a wire, it's not as cool but it is a 100% connection 100% of the time, kind of hard to beat, except for convenience. Another question, there is much talk about different performance with wires, what is given up when wireless ? Anything, do people even have a choice or even know if anything is given up with performance ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to marketing as least at the current time, no. But, according to Roy it was Paul's design and they were intended to go in the home. They ought to be considered Heritage if Fortes and Chorus are, at least in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was fascinating. Probably the best part of that story was how Roy finally convinced PWK that active crossover will solve all the problems they were having trying to straighten-out the response curve. I can just hear Roy now..."Mr. Klipsch, there is only so much that can be done with passive crossovers, and you have already done it all....maybe it is time for us to embrace the active crossover for this application. We need to give it a try if we will finish this thing together...then I will take you FISHING!" And...PWK caved on that last note! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch killed off the Cornwall (actually CWII) for about a decade before bringing it back as the CWIII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Why is there talk of Heritage stuff being discontinued, especially now? There's a huge push to grow Heritage like crazy going on right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted June 6, 2018 Moderators Share Posted June 6, 2018 I thought I heard from somewhere during pilgrimage that sales had picked for Heritage ? I never went on the tour so I don't where i heard it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never went on the tour so I don't where i heard it. There's a new certified heritage dealer program that's being pushed, just came out this year, so far there's about 30 of us worldwide from what I hear. There's training, shipping, and demo gear requirements. Look on Klipsch's FB page, they just brought on Audio Advice which they are apparently proud of, they're a big place. They tried to get into the wireless systems geared towards millennials in a big way but I think they decided it was the wrong direction, they seemingly backed up and are now trying to get back to their roots and they are pushing Heritage hard.

ACV92 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I would be extremely surprised if Klipsch ever got rid of the Heritage line, kind of the 'soul' of Klipsch. Don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. BTW, Klipsch made Heritage headphones, see. And you guys thought you knew all there was to know about Heritage gear....

I think somehow, someone tied it into my posts about Wireless / Powered, not sure why Klpsch can't do both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiliconTi Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I am not saying, nor has anyone else (I think) that Heritage speakers will be discontinued - especially as it seems they can not make them fast enough. Just do not want to the see the "Heritage" moniker diluted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Heritage Wireless" or "Heritage Inspired" seems like a good way to tag along with the Heritage products, but keep them separate too.
