Default Palladium Series.....why no love?

I have hung out in Mc section of this forum for several years now. To be honest, I can't recall anyone discussing Klipsch Palladium speakers vs. speakers from Sonus, Aerial, Bryston, Martin Logan, Etc. Curios why? What gives?

The alternative is the Klipsch Corporate Forum.

Correct. I'll have to take a peak over there. Being a fellow Khorn owner, have you seen any compares?

No. not directly.

Coytee is another member here on this forum, we met up-to listen to his Jubilees(BTW one of the most die hard Jub fans), and he related that he went to a Klipsch Pilgrimage and listened to the Heritage line and the Palladium line. His verdict, I recall, was too much money and they did not sound better than the Jubilee.

There another forum member here ,rscotth, who has a full on Palladium HT with some real bitchin' gear to go with. I suggest you contact him.

I love my Palladiums. I've been a Klipsch fan for 30 years. I often get the speaker "itch", but it soon passes as I get everything I want out of my speakers. I've heard many other brands, and often think how they might sound in my setup, but then realize I love what I have. There are so many choices, and some do things better than others, Klipsch, for me, does everything well IMHO.

Did you compare the P39's to Khorns? If so, curious what you thought.

The Khorns don't seem as refined as the Palladiums. The palls just seemed more accurate, and Khorns wouldn't work in my room. Even with the false backs, that you can use with Khorns, placement is more critical to their performance.

I am interested in a pair of Palladiums. I am thinking about replacing my Cornwalls. The P39f is not in my budget but I am interested P38f. I heard the P37f several months ago in Texas. I would like to find some place closer to hear the P38f.
