Well they are Stereophile Class A (restricted LF) rated.
Klipschorn is simply a 60+ yr old design, Klipsch wanted to expand their top-shelf offering. Its hard to find adjacent corners and current design trends force speakers to be smaller and out of sight.
If you want to go balls to the wall, find a Klipsch Jubilee owner and have a listen. They MSRP for almost half of the Palladiums and have zero WAF, at 109dB/w/m they are all "Go."
If thats to much of a good thing the Klipsch RF7II pair is killer and the Palladiums are a slightly more refined product.
