Dave1291 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Read about the LS in about 1964 and used what I learned to write a book report for a 9th grade English report. It all made sense. I have no clue what I first listened to. Probably some Brenda Lee, Lesley Gore or Motown. First true "system" I heard was a Fisher amp I think and a JBL Paragon a buddy's dad bought. He had a TV/record store and sold JBL speakers. I'm thinking that was part of the deal he cooked up w/JBL was the Paragon. I was amazed sittin on the couch hearing things I never heard before. Klipsch rigs were just totally outta my price range so I started w/a Marantz receiver, Dual 1229 and a pair of ESS AMT-1's. Added tons of Marantz gear cause I got it from a distrubuter at cost. Hooked a local TV store up w/Marantz gear so the guys gave me a break on my stuff. After that it was a complete Infinity RS 2.5 speakers system w/a stack rack full of SAE gear. THEN I made the move to Klipsch w/my LS, PrimaLuna and my trusty Linn turntable. Then stole a JBL SP128S sub at auction. Factor in about 110-20 feet of vinyl and I'm in my happy place. I'll also add that without the help of some of the guys in here it never would have happened. Wonder if I hit the lottery tonight so I can get new Jubes?

S391 Posted yesterday at 03:31 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:31 PM (edited) I've know of Klipsch for decades and even owned a cheap pair of SF-2 tower speakers just to try them out. However, y first experience with the Heritage series happened for me recently... New to me Heresy 2's and the first thing I played was Cannoball Adderley's Something Else on vinyl via my tube amp and tube preamp. It was eye opening. it felt like I was listening in the club while the band was playing. Great dispersion and soundstage, articulate highs... overall a very pleasing experience. I like to listen to music on the media that it was originally recorded / released on (50's, 60's, 70's - Vinyl, 80's, early 90's CD, etc) and this set up is what I think it must have been like "back in the day" when this was first released.

Coytee Posted yesterday at 05:50 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:50 PM On 3/12/2024 at 12:03 PM, Woofers and Tweeters said: It has been a minute since 1984. That is when I bought a pair of Heresy, new from a place called Ovation. I can't recall the first tunes that I played through them. What I listen to these days is a lot less radical than then, most of the time lol. Old man. (you!?!?!!!!) I first heard LaScalas in 1978 at Carlin Audio in Fairfield Ohio. Scott (if I recall his name correctly) played Lucky Man / ELP. I swear, it sounded like they were IN the speaker playing......I was hooked. Went back couple weeks/months later and bought a pair (1979 production) Still have them. When the Underground Jubilee's arrived somewhere around 2007? (now that, I can't remember for the life of me, I'd have to do some searching to find when) I put Pink Floyd, Pulse on and had at it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted yesterday at 07:01 PM Share Posted yesterday at 07:01 PM For me it was LaScalas at Friday night dance parties back in the mid/late '70s. (remember disco?) Invited to a friend of a friends house and there they were. Once I heard them I said/thought what the heck are those?, gotta have me a pair. Saved up some pennies and in '77 bought a pair and like @Coytee I still have them. Still have the original receipt $602 a piece, raw birch(back when they used or could obtain the good shit) with full front grill cloth. Sweet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
