Wow, I didn’t except any of this at all. It’s like I stepped into the twilight zone 😮 Not really. Well, not the garbage part anyways. The pro audio stuff really is amazing though.

MEH Synergy Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I have had Forte IIIs, but I'm now banging my KI 362 IIs (Forte iii pro) with 21" sub and they EMBARASS the Forte IIIs at ANY volume. Like others have said, it's not about volume, rather presence and scale (headroom for years, not days). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcar Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Nearly every article online comparing pro audio stuff to audiophile (home audio) stuff says that pro audio stuff has better durability and portability at the expense of sound quality compared to audiophile stuff. So everyone is the world is wrong and only a handful of people here know the true secrets of the universe? Forgive me for finding that VERY hard to believe.

ClaudeJ1 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 4 hours ago, Falcar said: Pro audio speakers by design must handle massive amounts of power, amp clipping, feedback and other chaos typical home audio speakers are not exposed to normally. They are designed to handle sound abuse from microphones as well. However, compared to home audio speakers, pro audio speakers are known for having a lot more distortion, issues with dispersion, and issues with clarity. Just like Class D amps (considered pro audio) are known for having a lot more distortion than Class A/B amps (considered home audio). Therefore, I am wary of purchasing pro audio speakers and equipment for home use. Ah yes, another Quasi-Religious Follower of the Stereophile Myths, untruths, and exaggerations. Lord help us all. Direct radiators create distortion 10X greater than horns. Easily heard by anyone not too busy "lifting veils" from the front of female vocalists in the DAC of the Month club, which is, by the way how 99% of them are RECORDED (pop filters anyone?). Never argue with a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your distortion threshold must be exceptionally high Only when I reach 130 db, which of course, all wimpy a$$ "Stereophile" type speakers are up in smoke by the time they get to 105.

But I've always heard Klipschorns sound the best. This is all very interesting. I only buy new when it comes to audio equipment. Thanks for the suggestions. I have to agree with Jimbo, the Khorns are the speaker to have if you want to stay in the Heritage line. I have a pair of 2007 AK-5 Khorns I bought used for a fair price, I had another pair, also had CW2s and verticals (Is) I kept the verticals, they sound different. I've listened to LaScalas a lot, they have a better mid than the CW but the bottom end is slightly lower on the CW. Buy the LaScalas and get a sub since that's what everyone says. Personally I think they sound great on their own. Mark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
