lynnm Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 Hello Dere I finally got my hands on a pair of high end Klipsch speakers! I have been an admirer of the Khorns for more years than I like to admit to but was never able to consider them because of their cost,(Some things do not change - I still can't consider a set of horns beyond the ones that my wife's priest assures her I will wear in the great beyond ). That said - I went to RadiocraftS in Calgary,Alberta a few weeks ago and purchased a set of Promedia 2.1's. Luckily my wife was with me and was present when I asked Doug Stone to light up a pair of KLF 30's. He played his cards well,(I used to be in sales), and unlike so many audio salespeople I have encountered resisted the temptation of loading up Metallica or some other chainsaw quartet and played Louis Armstrong singing It's a Wonderful World. At one point I could literally feel his accompianist's fingers sliding along a middle string. I stood there with my mouth slightly agape thinking "My God these things are beautiful but - There is no way!" I turned to mein frau,(Who was also standing there with her jaw hanging open),and said Well let's go home and she asked "How much did he say they are ? " I told her that they were a discontinued line and were C$ 1700.00 and she looked a little uptight before asking, How the Hell are we going to get them home? Yee Haww!! We have been lov - er - listening to them for a couple of weeks now and enjoying them like no others we have owned or listened to,(other than a pair of Khorns a friend of mine had many years ago). I drive those beauties with and old Hitachi SR-2004 receiver. I am aware that that puppy has a Lot more power than mein KLF's require but they do sound lovely with it. Can anyone point me toward any reviews regarding that receiver? I also have a pair of Pioneer HPM-200's that were produced at the same time - Can anyone point in the direction of a contemporary review ? ------------------ It is meet to recall that the Great Green Heron rarely flies upside down in the moonlight - (Foo Ling ca. 1304 BCE) This message has been edited by lynnm on 08-28-2001 at 10:49 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 Hey Lynne - Welcome aboard! What a great post. You realize, of course, this is just the beginning. A big jump from the ProMedia's to KLF-30s! What's next - the theater size professional Klipschs? Enjoy (but I didn't have to tell you that) - DD2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Reed Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 Welcome to Klipschville. There's no turning back now. Dougdrake2 is right, this is just the beginning. Why... I've even heard tell that some of the more "fanatical" members once made a trip to Hope, AR. just to see & visit their "Holy Grail".

If you ever need assistance with computer issues I can point you to a few great resources or perhaps offer a bit of one on one.
