willland Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Never really spent a lot of time going through the reviews of this site but some really interesting and cool classic gear reviewed.

billybob Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Rather liked the Chorus review. As a listener over time, would agree with their conclusions. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Interesting reading the Chorus review versus the forte review, both are great speakers and I've often said that preference for one over the other could easily vary based on room / placement & equipment matching / type of music etc. A pair of Chorus 1's mated with an RSW-15 is a pretty wicked combo IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Yes the K-48's are going to do something for you even if it is wrong. As awesome as the II's are, it has become somewhat obvious that more now appreciate The Chorus. It is still a desirable for me., Bass and all.

I know everyone has their own experiences and preferences but I still remember the first time I did a true A/B (as close as I could anyway) test between the I's & the II's and my immediate impression was that they more alike than different. The openness and smoothness of the larger Tractrix horn seems to come at a cost of sharpness and precision of the exponential horn IMO but of course that varies greatly on what you're feeding them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlthess40 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Those where some great reviews Most of the reviews out there are very biased in a negative way when it comes to using horns in home speakers It was nice to read about how and why Klipsch speakers sound the way they do and how they shine over other more expensive speakersSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Don't just focus on the Klipsch reviews, some great old gear reviews that are pretty cool. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom3 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I don't see dates on those reviews, so, are they reviews when the gear was new, or are they reviewing old gear, or NOS, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glens Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The Forte review was merely a re-typed version of the scanned Stereophile from days gone by. Don't know about the others. Had been nice to see attribution. Perhaps there is but my ad-blocks remove it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlthess40 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I need to hook up my kg4’s with my H1’s for my turntable system. My wife wanted to change up the tv room and now I have all my svs speakers for the front, different sound for sure, but still nice clear sound with the svs. But I’m a diehard Klipsch man. LolLook mom, no horns. [emoji33]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
