GraysonG263 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't already. Studio monitors is a what - multimillion/billion dollar industry? And with the quality that Klipsch brings to the table, I think they could blow this market wide open. I, for one, would absolutely love a pair of Klipsch studio monitors for my computer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I believe Roy built a set of custom speakers for a studio, for a family member IIRC. I've thought the same thing, though. There have been studios that have used different Klipsch models. Bradley's Barn in Nashville used some. Burl Audio has some in the studio they test and use their products. I'm sure there are lots more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I don't think it is actually that large of a market. There are only so many studios and so many people who want these types of speakers for home use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Heresys were used for verifying the mix on a CD before being sent to the mastering service, and then used for the CD release party with the band. 🧐 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason str Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Thought nearfield when computer and monitor was mentioned, lots of tiny powered "studio monitors" out there. Maybe I was wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also consider Klipsch's parent company also owns several other speaker companies and they can't spread themselves too thin... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 klipsch does have a speaker that can be considered as a Studio Quality speaker with DSP , the 75th Klipsch Heritage Jubilee , the Jube is in the same league as the 67k$ pair of Tannoy Westminster , if not even better - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfffft..... they simply need a larger shelf, problem fixed.

Any studio I have been in or worked in (did a fair bit of radio and voice over work in the past), has had space limitations. That being the case, accurate, smaller sized near field speakers facing the mixing board were utilized. One of the reasons the legendary BBC LS3/5 series speakers were originally developed. I suppose a very large studio could make good use of a modern Jubilee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
