What's your favorite instrument to listen to on Klipsch speakers?

[wuzzzer]

When I first purchase my speakers I was particularly smitten by the sound of an acoustic guitar. Even in so-so recordings they sound so alive. And in very nice recordings...WOW

How about the rest of you?

Sax ...on a tractrix

and ......a B-3

Hmmm Klipsch are amazing chainsaw reproducers.All the SPl and irritation of a two stroke,less the blue fumes []

Anything HT really,explosions,screams,pleas for help,KABOOOOM all sound so deliciously real and gruesome. []

All live rock concerts,played at ear split levels,the crowd under the influence of illegal substances in a trance. [:$]

I love my Klipsch speakers

...what instrument...DRUMS

For some reason, when I turn on my LSI's and open that big door at then end of my driveway, Keith Emerson's grand piano appears in my garage every time.

Norah Jones and Karen Carpenter's voices ... even if you don't like their styles or music, it is hard to resist how they sound on Klipsch.

[Speedball]

I would have to say acoustic guitar, voices, and drums........acoustic guitar being my favorite.

There is just something special about a trombone on my Cornwalls.

[Jeff Matthews]

Organs/Keyboards and Horns. How to pick?

Keyboards from old Genesis/ELP - just awesome... [Y]

Horns from Blood, Sweat and Tears/Chicago - make you wish you were drunk...

Jeff M and Capo make good observations. Something awesome about horns on horns. I, too love BS&T and Chicago, the Trombone does seem to really resonate properly in a Heritage Klipsch.

I guess I'll have to dig out a recording with some horns ....

until then, it's acoustic guitar for me

"That's easy: A well-recorded Hammond B3 organ."

Hmm. That would be a synthesis of a synthesis.

I was going to go with all things percusive, but then THIS caught my eye, and I have to agree wholeheartedly!

Please define and give examples of 'well recorded' Hammond B3.

I'm a Jon Lord/ Rick Wakeman fan. Maybe not your cup of tea, Also like Jimmy Smith....

Dr Bill, Quite perceptive!

Normally I would not mention an electronic instrument since part of the reproduction includes the various distortions in the original production. K-Horns certainy shine without any of that.

However, there is something about the tone from the B3 and the vibrato produced by the Leslie cabinet with the spinning horn. I love the sound. As a youth, I spent a good deal of time listening live to a B3 (I was in a garage band).

Last year after doing some room tweaking with my K-Horns, I put on Jimmy Smith (Blue Note or Impulse recordings) and I was "there". I was transported back in time to a garage back in Calif where we practiced ... A wonderful experience. Perhaps this reflects my bias.

Good Luck,
