Well typically ( I cannot keep them )Shane I love the sound despite being a little sceptical after reading different good and bad reviews about the horns .

You got them then! They look great (& hopefully sound that way too!).

Always thought of trying Horns - like the idea of some Impulse....

I'm not surprised, £500 was a sweet deal on these.

I had THE Klipschorns for over 20 years! But at least they sat in corners - and I had a 16 X 14' room.
Might (???) have kept them if I hadn't moved to current house that has doors, windows etc in the corners, meaning...nowhere ideal for them.
The sound IS dynamic-just don't listen to Jerry's view (sorry Jerry!)

Can't get a better picture to download, but try the usual info services. Still have files on Klipsch, a sales leaflet, etc.!
Big in size AND sound.
Good memories.

I have had klipsch la scala and heresy 1. In my 4 by 4.5 m lounge I now just setup a used pair of
Klipsch rf5 reference. The rf5 and rb 5 were the last reference to used real wood veneer cabinet instead of vinyl wrap.
Usually a bit of polishing the heritage klipsch real wood cabinets let’s you convince her that it’s really just “furniture “ that makes music magically appear.
I hope you can find a way to keep the ones you have. Just a quick tip, unlike other brands which need to be pulled into the room to image klipsch generally are ok bein back against the wall and set a bit wide with some toe in. Enjoy ��

Just stumbled across this thread Andy.

If you keep them I can't recommend the Bob Crites titanium tweeter upgrade highly enough. Completely transformed my 4.5s into speakers I can't see myself selling for years.

He (Bob) sells then for stupid money really albeit with shipping and potentially import tax for us foreigners. Still a bargain though.
