I owned Klipschorns in the mid 1980s and thought that they were the ultimate speaker at the time. They do feature the tremendous virtues of horns and compression drivers: dynamic range, efficiency and low distortion. Unfortunately they are severely time misaligned and used rather mediocre drivers for the most part. The good part is that the classic Klipsch products have "set the hook" for thousands of horn enthusiasts worldwide who have pursued the passion to a higher plane. Thank you Paul Klipsch!
