I remember my dealer shared his frustration when people came in and got Heresy's with that amp. He demonstrated LaScalas with the cheapest Japanese receiver (25 wpc) and proved you could get stupid loud with it. They got the Heresys and the Crown 9 out of 10 times. My wife had one of those cheaper receivers on her Heresys and cranked them up plenty loud so she could hear music over her vacuum cleaner! My Khorns were in the basement across from the bar. -
I use mine for Tapped Horn subs that can reach 130 db output at 16 Hz.. I got scared at 125, so I stopped.

I wasn't referring to the metal content, just the buying power. Klipsch speakers are more affordable than they were then. It's all realtive to when you first know what a dollar was. In my case, it was my paper route and that my dad paid 6 moth's salary for new Car. Power steering, power brakes, power finance, he used to say. A "standard" GM car today costs 10X that, and he would have made 10X more as well.

Klipschorns should not have B3 crossovers. They Should have type A, AA, AK, AK2, AK3, AK4, etc. -
My K2's don't have the sound quality that my consumer amps have but depending on their setting and application, they can sound very good. High powered Crown amps such as the K2 that I have paired with Klipsch just have serious power. Scary power.....and when you crank it up it's comparable to being at a concert. Didn't have to buy tickets, a t-shirt or pay $10 bucks for a beer. You're there. -

I can definitely understand your point. I'm sure there are people out there that would love to pass off Copies as the real thing, and that is definitely not my intention. I don't have the original cabinets for two good reasons. The originals were in pretty shoddy shape, but I would have kept them complete, however they were on the other side of the planet. Shipping would have been astronomical! I agree, I will print "Copy" on the reprinted labels. -
Of course they are obsolete. Dennis thought they were terrible amps over 30 years ago. Probably long before that. I can only speak of when I knew him. -
In my experience different peoples opinions of "noisy" and how noisy are all over the place..The Topping amps that I use now put the Crowns to shame. YMMV. -

a LOT of consumer amplifiers have xlr capabilities... Current I am using an 6 channel (six monos) ATI that fits the bill well. I normally try and shop topology, then within that topology I shop features and brands. I am getting a little tired of class D and would like to try something else... maybe. I think I might be looking for something other than an 'economic' solution.
