Holy Heritage! Prices just got nuts!
Has anyone seen the new list pricing on Klipsch Heritage speakers? Insane. :no: :tears:

Jon.......Are you going to leave us hanging? . :whistle:

$12,000 for Khorns
$8,000 for LaScala III $2,000 for Heresy III $4,400 for Cornwall III Crazy to me. |
Jon.......I don't know how the new Klipsch LaScala's sound. I haven't heard the LaScala or the Cornwall speakers in a long time. Considering other speaker prices, $8K for a pair of LaScala's doesn't seem that steep.

It took a while, but I think you are starting to see Voxx junk up the brand with Chinese speakers galore. |

I think the prices are too much. The flagship palladium is too thigh too. I'm a Klipsch fan so I'm not just out to bash. The last several years I have used there pro line stuff....but they aren't lookers. |
Here is a Khorn
TWEETER: K-77-D 1" (2.54cm) Phenolic diaphragm compression driver MIDRANGE: K-55-X 2" (5.08cm) Phenolic diaphragm compression driver MID FREQUENCY HORN: Exponential Horn WOOFER: K-33-E 15" (38.1cm) Fiber-composite cone / horn-loaded with a trihedral exponential folded Here is a Heresy III TWEETER: K-107-TI 1" (2.54cm) Titanium diaphragm compression driver HIGH FREQUENCY HORN: Tractrix Horn MIDRANGE: K-53-TI 1.75" (4.45 cm) Titanium diaphragm compression driver MID FREQUENCY HORN: Exponential Horn WOOFER: K-28-E 12" (30.48cm) Fiber-composite cone Here is CWIII K-107-TI 1" (2.54cm) Titanium diaphragm compression driver HIGH FREQUENCY HORN: K-79-T Tractrix MIDRANGE: K-53-TI 1.75" (4.45 cm) Titanium diaphragm compression driver MID FREQUENCY HORN: Exponential Horn WOOFER: K-33-E 15" (38.1cm) Fiber composite cone (ported not horn loaded like LSII and Khorn) I looked this up as I forgot the details...but I knew things had changed. Funny story.....the CW III and the Heresy I,II,III now have the exact same midhorn.... the K700 (crossed at 700Hz) Apparently, Klipsch lost the mold to the K600 found in the CW I and II. The Heritage series keeps the midrange Exponential horn out of respect for PWK. To me, that is the biggest drawback of the most up to date Heritage version being at their pricepoint. I have had a La Scala II and loved it mostly, but I would not pay that kinda money. My complaint is the midhorn. The exp mids sound too congested to me. Just My opinion. I sold them. I could of swapped out the midhorn but didn't want to crack open the back chamber and ruin its orginality (sp). The modern day tractrix technology used in all their other stuff sounds much better. IMO. jc |
