What if "OUR" notion is that pro audio sounds bigger, cleaner, less distortion and costs less than residential speakers? Would you consider sticking with that train of thought?

You can ask my wife about my knowledge of being closed minded.....she'd say I'm an expert!! Hmmm...... I don't care about what your wife says, I have never met her, but know you are of the preliminary enlightened few. I have a modest pro system and I'm currently tickled to death with it. Never heard jubes, but in trying to get with @babadono to accomplish that. Probably a dangerous move in my part, but I'll take the plunge.... I think it's funny that the moron that called me an idiot heard jubes and was supposedly in love with them and then publicly announced that he wanted to buy my 396s.....GTFO with your hypocrisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the world of Klipsch, the sound gets better as you go bigger. Definitely the opinion of some but not for all. My opinion falls in "as you go bigger, it gets uglier and there's no way I'd ever put that in my house". If the OP want's Heritage type speakers, then why doesn't everyone help him out with Heritage style speakers versus telling him what he wants is something completely different.

khorn79er Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 4 hours ago, Falcar said: Okay, no offense, but why am I getting recommendations for Kilpsch Pro Audio?? I just wanted to keep this to the Heritage series. My Cornwalls are PLENTY powerful. I just thought maybe LaScalas offer a slighty higher sound quality at the expense of being bass-shy (which could possibly be remedied with more powerful subwoofers). I appreciate the responses so far, but is this how it works on this forum (i.e. you mention Heritage series and start getting directed towards pro audio)?? Falcar - you didn't mention anywhere that you wanted to stick to Heritage. I would be more open minded in the future. Forum members responded to your questions thoughtfully and suggested Pro as well as Heritage models. They are just trying to help. The least you can do is be respectful in return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 5 hours ago, Falcar said: I am still concerned that La Scalas are simply not right for the music I mostly listen to (rap/hip-hop). I listen to this music, along with electronica, on my La Scalas and tapped horn subs and it is quite enjoyable. The faults you'll find are in the source material - 80's/90's material in that genre can be a bit hit or miss when it comes to recording quality, and the LS's will only shine a spotlight on those qualities.

Even though he can get new jubes for half the CURRENT price of new LA scalas... Oh well, you fall short of holy grail, but that may be the end of your journey, not mine.

At half the price, it's pretty much a no brainer. And honestly, if I had the space, I might do it. I'd just have to make some kind of cover for that big a$$ 402 horn as I would not be able to look at that all the time. lol With my hearing issues, my search for The Holy Grail is non-existent.

I prefer the Chorus I with front ports so you can put them anywhere and they sound great. They also respond real well to upgrades on tweeters and recapping crossovers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finallygotmyheresies Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Why has the suggestion of pro speakers continued when the OP specifically stated that they were not interested in the in their 2nd post? The behavior displayed in this thread is comparable to the behavior of forum members in garage sale ads. Which members are involved determines how far off track a thread is allowed to go. Forcing Pro Klipsch down Falcar's throat is not "helping" them. It was suggested, politely refused and then subsequently talked about for 2+ pages.

Coytee Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 OK, so do I sound bored right now? Waiting for my 4:00 appointment to show up. So far today, EVERYONE has been 30 minutes early and they've gotten done early. Noooooooooo, not the last one of the day..... they are waiting to the last minute to show up (if they show at all) Meanwhile, you guys have to put up with me. Well, you & Dave's squirrel's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
