    https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/klipschorns-sound-muddy-and-low-fi.861470/page-2#post-12541483 Someone suggested that I post a thread of a similar nature here at the Klipsch Korner, and I thought that was a great idea. Alright, so I have pretty limited experience with Klipsch...

    Klipschorn's sound muddy and low-fi

    Hey folks! So my dad just bought a pair of Klipschorn's, with Crites upgraded tweets, mids, and x-overs. We just set them up, and they sound like a louder version of thrift store speakers. Now, I know Klipsch speakers aren't exactly hifi, but I own and love Chorus', which are decently natural...

    Greetings from Macedonia, OH

    About a month or two ago a friend asked if I would help clean out his garage. 'Sure, this place is a mess!' says I. After sorting through the dozen or so old 'doorstop' computers, ancient dentist office equipment, hand-me-down tools and video recording equipment, I found on old Sherwood...

    Detailed as La Scalas but warmer??

    Is there a speaker that has detail close to the La Scala but is a warmer speaker? I have a smaller listening room ( 12 X 12 ) and the La Scalas sound fantastic as far as detail goes. I love them for that! There are even some songs that get played and I think these are the best speakers in the...

    Chorus II's - Thank you and Amp direction

    First off, a sincere thanks to all of you. I've been reading the forum and have learned a lot (I hope). Over the weekend I picked up a pair of Chorus II's. They're in need of much love, especially in the cosmetic department. Priced fairly, original and I think they sound great! I'm excited to...

    Is this a decent deal on Klipsch Chorus II? Advice needed.

    Hi all! For background, I currently own a set of Forte I that have Bob Crites crossovers and titanium tweeters. I used to have them in a living room that was probably 12’ x 15’ x 8’ and they were plenty. I’ve since moved to a new house where my living room is 17’ x 26’ by probably 15’ (vaulted...

    Cornwall vs Cornwall

    I just picked up a beat up but functioning, circa 1974, pair of Cornwall’s. I now have an opportunity to pick up an earlier set, 1968, also with rough cabinets. It looks like the drivers are the same, that is, that Klipsch didn’t change manufactures, horns or drivers over this period. However...

    Help Pairing Vintage Technics SA-300 / Alternative to Klipsch Heritage's

    The old 'recommend a speaker' thread, thanks in advance. They should be efficient to make the most of the 35w x 2, and have good dispersion to fill up a decent sized living room by themselves at various angles. I'd prefer a modern but classic looking cabinet-- most all speakers now are tall...
