bookman Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Today I noticed a pair of these speakers for sale at $1200. That caught my attention (high price). A poster over at Audiogon said these were Klipsch's best sounding. I'm curious what my fellow Forum members think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Well I got to hear the CF-3's in an AB comparison against lascalas, cornwalls, KSB1.1, RB3, RB5 and what else am I forgetting? Anyways, I would choose both the lascala and cornwall over the CF-3's. The 3-way designs simply had better highs and better low mids. Btw, no way are they worth $1200/pair...I don't think they even retailed for that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazytubepower Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 They retailed for like $2400, they don't sound like traditonal klipsch, said to be klipsch most audiophile speaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 So, did anyone at the Klipsch Gathering down in Hope think to ask Roy Delgado what he uses? If this is the early version of the CF-4 -- then they are every bit worth $1200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Hmmm, so maybe there are a bit more expensive than I thought... Btw, the CF-3 and CF-4 use the same HF unit, so be prepared to find it a bit lacking in the highs (and this was powered by a yammy reciever which should have exagerated the high if anything...so not the amp) [] The only reason I wouldn't say they were worth that much is because you can get better sound from cheaper speakers. I can imagine though that the CF-4 bigger brother might be able to compete with the cornwall bass a bit better... I was telling colter that I would love to convert them to a KLF style setup...put the woofers on top of each other, then the squaker and then add a seperate tweeter to make it a 3-way.

Daddy Dee Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Well, I understood Roy to say he was working on his own at home on time delay with Khorns using a Behringer crossover. A couple of others have posted that no way Roy has Khorns, that his stuff is all his own home brew. I don't take the two statements to be necessarily mutually exclusive. I may have hallucinated Roy telling me that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
