Fxrs Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Hi there u all have a simple question and probably been answered, but spending around 15 hundred on a pair of speakers next few weeks but which Klipsch speakers would be the best in that range? I be listening to 2 Channel music rock classic, don't care about surround sound. I bought it pair of kg 4 the late 80s which I loved and a pair of kg 5.2 but all are wasted now. So any pros rp and any suggestions I appreciate it thank you so much great day Damon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forte 1&2 Chorus 1&2 LaScala I&2, and they will let you knpw. Do you have something to power them with? Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go the La Scala route, you might want to supplement it with a subwoofer (it does not need to be super model, rather just to help out a bit). At a budget of 1500, there is quite a bit you can do and still leave cash in your hands. The La Scala will be the most expensive of the suggestions (assuming purchasing used). It should be a fun experience. They all sound good, but each brings some differences. It is really a matter of taste at this point - there are no wrong answers.

Alexander Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Tell us more about your current setup and how you like to listen to your music (low levels or very loud?). How large is your room? Do you like a lot of bass? What kind of foot print do you have room for, a 24"x24"x36" speaker like a La Scala? Speakers like Chorus & forte's with a passive radiator in the back need space away from the wall. An example in my case I would love to try Cornwall's or La Scala's but I can not go more than ~18" wide speakers just because of available floor space.

Fxrs Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 I'm sorry you all must have missed understood but I have a total of $1,500 that's not going to buy me any heritage speakers. I have a nad amp from the late 80s and and I like music loud. I'm getting old and hearing is to if neighbors ain't complaining it's not loud enough. Best I self with is the rp8000. Thank u all again and u think living in Indiana that there would be someone better to listen to Klipsch speakers and then Best Buy come on. Good day my friends Rock on, Damon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimalmo Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 So you're only considering brand new speakers? The used speaker recommendations from the other members are very good suggestions considering your budget. You'll get a much better speaker if you buy used than if you buy new. $1500 would easily get you a pair of KLF-30's which would absolutely blow away rp8000 if your goal is to get as loud as possible.

PrestonTom Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Forum members are so unused to buying new speakers that we made some assumptions. The suggestions of Forte, chorus, KLF, La Scala, Cornwall are easily obtained on the used market and would easily fit your budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
