Just wondered if anybody here knows anyone with a pair of the 'proper' Klipsch's ie. the Klipschorn . Any era of build is OK.
Would be nice to hear the bass/lower-mid performance on these.
Any Klipschorns out there ?

Tony the owner across on PFM has a pair of La Scalas in his TV system powered by a 1.8watt Decware amp.
Can't think of any others sorry.

They do seem to be rather rare , over here particularly. I have a friend down the road who has LaScalas, quite familiar with those thanks. They are quite good, but very much compromised in the bass relative to the corner horns.

Hi Mark, I have a pair here with Volti upgrades.
Absolutely love them.

Some years ago now, I knew a chap in Northampton with a pair bought new not long before I heard them, set up as instructed a bit too far apart by conventional standards. Absolutely lovely sound with pretty natural tonalities (unlike smaller Klipsches which can shout and scream) and proper central imaging too despite sitting a bit too close to them. He was using a Quad 99 system and I could hear nothing untoward at all. Easy to listen straight 'through' them to the music performance. Unlike a very early pair I once heard which only really sounded good with very early mono or early simple stereo recordings, these new ones coped well with multi-phased rock and pop stuff too with no smearing or odd phasing effects.
