Both the prices of the Heresy IV and the OJAS speakers are higher than I'm willing to pay, but I'll stop short of calling the price points of either, "gouging." in the case of the OJAS, it's more appropriate to consider them as functional artwork. They're largely hand made, in limited quantities, produced in part by an established artist and priced accordingly. Whereas the Klipsch RP line is comparable to a Volkswagen Jetta, not cheap, but also not priced out of reach of many consumers, Heresy IV is akin to an Audi A3, with styling and performance that puts them in the aspirational luxury category, expensive enough, but reachable with smart budgeting for many. The Ojas, on the other hand, skips a few rungs on the performance ladder, eschewing the modern conveniences of the contemporary Porsche lineup, more like an air-cooled Singer Porsche: it's performance isn't nearly up to par with a current model Porsche and in many ways, isn't even as good as a Jetta, however it's hand built, with unmistakably unique styling and quirky performance that has its own appeal. Its price reflects its limited availability, exclusive styling and hand-made construction, while performance is almost secondary. 

I whole-heartedly agree. I posted in a different thread how I'd like to see the Chorus come back as a 2-way design with the k-510 / k-691 driver. I've been experimenting with this myself and reached a very satisfactory level of performance just using / swapping different kpt parts around. My next move is to transfer these parts in the thread below into my Chorus II cabinets.    

Roy definitely closed the performance gap between the Chorus and Cornwall, making the CW-IV the best of both worlds, but I remain convinced that a renewed Chorus could be made even better yet, with deeper bass and even better mids via a 2" waveguide/compression driver. I still prefer the footprint and appearance of the Chorus to the Cornwall and feel that a passive radiator is preferable to the square ports on the CW, but retro is big these days and the CW has retro credibility and appeal for days. 

During times of panic or crisis ,  stabilizing economic forces can break down and cause serious problems . Of course the remedy for these problems aren’t without unintended consequences , and this is a blessing to the cynics that will always find issue with anything imaginable.

The Chorus did replace the Cornwall for several years in the 90's until it was replaced by the KLF line which led to the merging of the KLF and KGs into the RF series. I believe the reason the Cornwall came back (along with the Heresy) is because they are Heritage products and can be marketed that way, not because the Cornwall is "better" than the Chorus.    I have always been a strong advocate of bringing back the Chorus as they have been my favorite Klipsch speaker for many years. For me, they win the price per sq footage / performance ratio. After owning the forte IV's I can say there really is no need for a new Chorus- the Chief fixed / changed the forte in such a way that it acts / sounds more like a Chorus in that the bass is significantly tighter and cleaner though not as deep and the midrange stands out a bit more, the speaker is very well balanced even at the lowest of volumes where, IMO the forte I & II suffered.  

Anti-gouging laws guarantee everyone gets nothing.    

Price gouging isn’t a good way to fight panic buying. 

Of course it is.

I’m adjusting the listing to include very careful packing and personal delivery to a prospective buyer within 300 miles of Knoxville, Tennessee at the offered price.
