boomer9911 Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 Thanks Ed and JMON, Still trying to figure out where I got the 3rd C7 from..LOL...A FREEBIE!! I have checked out your review Ed and thanx. I think a 400 lbs is alittle heavy JMON, man, I thought the bagend's weighed alot...GEEZ! But I have decided, I think, going either with the RSW15, or KEFTDM45B, or I would prefer the SVS 20-39PC(rather have the amps built in). Decisions Decisions...I'M SO CONFUSED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoWhat! Posted August 11, 2001 Share Posted August 11, 2001 quote: Originally posted by storm300x: How many high end audio magazines review klipsch speakers? ummm.....0 Has klipsch ever been on Sterophile's list of recomended componets? nope,if they are so good why are they ignored by the major real hi-fi world? Actually, I bought a pair of Forte's -- brand-spankin' new in 1986 (yup, still got em. nope, won't sell them). I bought them because I knew I wanted Klipsch (previously, I owned a pair of Heresy's). And I bought them because of a review by Julian Hirsch in Stereo Review. I believe his exact comment on the Forte was: "The forte's sounded so darn good we just hated to box them up and send them back". Actually, the review I read stated that if one could afford the $1100 for a pair of Forte's, buy them! Yea, I know -- that was 1986 and this is now. Frankly, I haven't had the opportunity to listen to any of Klipsch's latest offerings, but then again, I don't need to -- I am extremely satisfied with what I have.

ShapeShifter Posted August 12, 2001 Share Posted August 12, 2001 Well it has been a while since I've been active here. However, I've remained a loyal Klipsch fan and have been active in my pursuit to buy more Klipsch Speakers. Have to many Klipsch..I think not! My friends and coworkers think that I'm half a bubble off plumb, because of the number of Klipsch I have, and that I passionately pursue buying more. Many thanks to Jim Cornell for your posts on the joys of a 4 Cornwall set-up. Your posts were instrumental in getting me interested in my current set-up of using 4 Cornwalls. Music or movies are simply overwhelming! For the past several months I've been submerged in sound. I love all my speakers and want to add a pair of Quartets to my stable as well. Pardon my lengthy list below, but I'm just proud to be the owner of the best Speakers made, IMHO.

Jim Cornell Posted August 13, 2001 Author Share Posted August 13, 2001 Shapeshifter Pleased to meet you, another fellow 4 cornwall owner!! If we all bought 4 cornwalls, they would have to reproduce them again!! Tell you what, ill never need a sub here, for music or movies!!! I got a little scared, running them, (all4) at night, so now i have them on both sides of the room, and they look better this way anyway!! With 4 cornwalls, all i can say is my god!! And also, i have the K-horns beat with 4 of these!! I can fully enjoy half a watt, of volume!! No loudness, everything centered!! With 4 cornwalls, my overall experience, even after a year, im still experiencing the sound i have here!! So itll prabably be another year before i can come up with a definate experience with these!! The 1812 overature, on telark, with the actuall cannons, knocked things off the walls, and put a crack in my wall, also the concusion, put a split along the ceiling in the living room!! That was at 15 watts each driven into all 4, so 60 watts all together!! Didnt harm these cornwalls at all!! Wife wasnt happy LOL!!!!!!! Another thing is, if you have children, 16 months, or older, i would like to ask the fellow Klipsch owners to please be easy on their ears!!!! Klipsch at high volumes can damage their ears for life!! My ears distort, tickling buzzing, i know its not my cornwalls!! Now i dont even try to abuse these, i want to enjoy them, for a long time!! If you have them up so high, the grill is moving, thats to loud, cut back!!! LOL!!!! That will damage your own ears! Im going to get K-horns next year, so ill only need a 1 watt amp, if i run all 6 at 1 watt each, id get thrown out of here LOL!!! Well, better go, lets all have a blast, listening to the only speaker that makes sence!! Oh yea, you guys ever hear people say that Klipsch makes the voice sound like a head cold??? In the respond to those kind of things, offer them a Q-TIP!! Have fun, regards Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShapeShifter Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 Jim, Thanks for the acknowledgement. Well no kids to consider I'm a single home owner. I do try to limit my exposure to high listening levels. But darn, sometimes I have to turn them up and let them stretch their legs for brief periods. I've obviously not achieved the levels that you described. I have caused motion sensor slights on the far end of my house to come on during a viewing of U-571, this was before adding the SVS Sub. Oh yea, many thanks to HornEd as well. Your praise of the tiny SVS Company, led me to correspond with those great guys, which resulted in me purchasing an SV 20-39CS Sub a month ago. Many thanks to all the other Klipsch mavens who provide insightful information to us all. Best regards to all....Wes P.S. I'm thinking of starting a nonprofit Digital Camera Fund, for an under funded Klipsch owner. Interested parties may submit inquiries...LOL This message has been edited by ShapeShifter on 08-13-2001 at 06:18 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cornell Posted August 13, 2001 Author Share Posted August 13, 2001 ShapeShifter Dont you just love how i explain, how 4 cornwalls sound LOL!!!! I did have a mysterious crack along the ceiling for a while! Ill tell ya, we both have some sound here, and thats not counting your other Klipsch!!! Im ganna have to stop when i get K-horns, at least for 2 years or so!! Ill buy the smaller sets then LOL!!! Heresys? Have fun Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Cornell Posted August 20, 2001 Author Share Posted August 20, 2001 Now i have H\T reciever lying here!! Im going H\T, but am still keeping all 2 channel equipment, so i can transfer from one system to the other!! All i need is a center channel and im set up!! Thanks to a freind, who gave me the reciever! Man, i still love my cornwalls, i bought a pair of UTAH speakers at a yard sale, and was ganna use them for center, only thing is, the quintets blow them away LOL!!! There is trully no other sound like Klipsch!! Itll be fun to listen to H\T with 4 cornwalls, ive been without H\T for 2 years!! I figured, why not, were missing some good movies LOL!! Ill have cornwalls front, cornwalls rear, academy center, i hope, SVS sub!! I really havent decided on a sub yet, might not need one, but who knows!! To hook up the rear set of cornwalls, i think im ganna go thru the floor, then come up behind them, im still trying to find a way to hook them up, running the wires!! I installed flat wire, a while ago under the carpet, and ripped out some padding doing it!! That was fun!! Well, ill post how things go here!!

Fried Elliott Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 I just saw DwK's observation about Hillcrest HiFi steering customers away from Klipsch and into Paradigm. Well, ten years ago I made that mistake. I knew I wanted Klipsch speakers but I got talked out of them. So now here I am on the Klipsch forums asking you guys which Klipsch speakers I should buy. I could have been listening to Klipsch for the past ten years but the day is soon coming those crummy Paradigms will be up for bid on eBay. I can hardly wait!

Chris Robinson Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Well Jim, we should give you some kind of award ... this has got to be the longest frikkin' thread on this board in its history. Something like 785 hits? 85 or so additions? I think you hit a "basic issue" with all of us Klipsch owners. While there are a lot of Heresy and K-horn fans, it sure seems to me that "Cornwalls rule!" ------------------ Klipsch 1968 ALK Cornwall "II"s (LF/RF) ALK Belle Klipsch (Center) Klipsch Heresy (RR/LR) Klipsch KSW-12 sub Sonic Frontiers Anthem AMP1 (driving Cornwalls) Sonic Frontiers Anthem AMP1 (driving Heresy's) McIntosh MC-30 (driving Belle) Denon AVR-4800 Toshiba SD-3109 DVD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eq_shadimar Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 Can we never own enough Klipsch um no. Loving my Cornwalls and looking for more to complete the surround system. Maybe one of these days I can get a set of KHorns. If I ever get to build a new house you can be sure that there will be plenty of rooms with proper corners.
