Amphicar Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Could I hear some opinions on KP-301’s? A set recently came for sale near me and was tempted to buy, but did not know a ton about them so didn’t bite. I own Heresy II’s and LSI Splits, as my points of Klipsch reference. Thanks in advance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave A Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Great pro version of the Chorus speaker. 200 watt rated where the Chorus is 100 watt. I prefer the KP-301 I over the KP-301 II but both are really good and not easy to come by. The KP-301 I is my favorite old smaller Klipsch speaker. In comparison the Heresy is a nice book shelf speaker with no bottom end even remotely close to the 301's. The LS is more efficient and again no bottom end anywhere close to the 301. To me with a little work the 301 is much more musical than the Ls Scala. I have gone through a bunch of older Klipsch and one of the very few I regret selling was an older cloth grilled KP-301 I that ended up with a musician from Nashville. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were 4-5 hours each way, so I was mulling it over and they sold (of course at that price.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am blown away with the musical quality of the LS, but after a few months I agree the bottom end is lacking somewhat. Same with the heresy, though I think the volume capabilities and bass response of the Heresy are better suited for each other. I’d be very curious to hear how a 301, I’ll try harder in pursuit of the set I located near me… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two sets coming in soon and I can tell you that one of them won't go away this time. I just might use my keeper set for my PC speakers since they are small enough😁.
