I'd be indecisive as to put them on the back wall, though I've no idea of the shape of it as it's not visible in the video. I imagine back wall, big TV, turn couch. In Summer, open glass doors and let the music out! Though some times I'd like to sit and listen facing out, so maybe save up for 4 Klipschorns. Surround sound!

No, it's not. Why do people buy expensive high end gear like that and put it in a room that's not in the least made for listening? Because they're show- offs and don't really know how to use/place/treat it. In this room, paying a few thousand Dollars less on other equipment would sound the same, qualitywise. Nice song, though. :-)

After 40 years of building the ultimate system you have crushed my ambitions. I have never owned anything but Klipsch speakers but the McIntosh system takes it to the highest level. Nicely done!

I thought I was the only one who thought that, too. I'm not owning any $100000 equipment, but I test my headphones with a good head amp, lossless player, and if they headphones don't sound good with Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here, or Steely Dan, or Rush, Dark Side of the Moon, or Beethoven, I return 'em. I try to test stuff with albums that are recorded really well, but that's also what I consider to be actual good music. Some of these guys play the worst imaginable dross.

[@shawnpwatsons1]

I heard the Klipschorns in a night club in Pittsburgh around 1985. I could not even believe the volume they were achieving. And the bass kicked hard in the chest. I was really amazed. So, I went over to the DJ at the club and asked, "Is all that sound coming from just those two speakers or are there other speakers operating also?" He said, "Everything you're hearing is just from those 2 speakers right there?" He was pointing to the Klipschorns.

[@oneskyrc9182]

These speakers were decades ahead of there time...they are still the Holly grail in my opinion. My father was in the industry and said Paul Klipsch was born to build speakers that were second to none and that his talent was a gift to all that love music. Sol Marantz was another..and his early amps are what I first heard these very very special speakers on... tears, chills ..PURE & BEAITIFUL !

[@johnlepkowski3831]

I’ve had my klipschorns for 25 years, I will go to the grave enjoying them. You have some nice equipment. Maclintosh still makes things by hand and they are beautiful.

I got mine in 1977. Model D. No top wood. No grills. $675 each. I also got a B&O 1900. And an Optonica turntable (the granite one). $2000 for the setup. I retired the Optonica in the 80s. The B&O lasted 31 years. The Klipsch are playing as I type. Your statement about 'going to your grave' rings true. Upon my death, I want them disassembled. I want the wood used to build a canoe. Put my body in the canoes. Put the canoe in the lake. Light it on fire. Viking funeral!

Great comments .. All over the place from kudos to critiques. I think the room is beautiful. And someone that cares about music.. That's enough for me these days. Every room becomes part of the instrument. If you want dead, buy a pair of headphones. Headphones will help you achieve the flatness that some of you need. I love it when people want to fill a space with music. If the space is bright, it should sound so. the audiophile crowd is always about "referencing" the sound. And that's very important in instances of engineering, but some just need to fill there space. Its as much a visual experience as it is aurally. Its called character. These are original Klipschorns, respect. My bag is large Arnie Nudel inspired Infinities.

[@fatherlandchild2780]

Your opinion Is absolutely wrong.

[@BookClubDisaster]

there is no accurate. Most records aren't mixed flat. live music isn't flat. Even instruments and gear vary. British guitar amps like Marshall and Vox have a punchy midrangey sound. American amps like Fender and Mesa/Boogie are more V shaped. So which is really "accurate". Audiophile think it's neutral but nope. Klipsch seems to realize this and doesn't even try to go for neutral.

Great gear and just love the woodworking. The view is special as well.

[@robertnatiello3814]

When i listen to discern quality I pick out the parts to the instruments and hear how distinct they are. I first listen for the nylon tip of a drum stick tapping the ride cymbal and pan around to the snare maybe a rim shot ( was it realistic or muddy?). Can I hear the chop from the strumming of the pick on an electric guitar or acoustic? Thump from the bass drum. Breath from the vocals, depth and space between musicians. This stuff tells me the audio equipment has the power to reveal and contrast at such a depth greater than my crappy equipment. The room is setup and used to expose or isolate to my liking and the speakers follow standards of positioning ( normally followed) as well as positioning additional speakers to provide spatial depth according to my music collection requirements such as orchestral vs quartet or stadium rock / live etc. I am no audiophile but that's how I listen.

Hardwood floors produce reverberant sound which smears the clarity of the music, particularly the human voice. Room mods will remove the echoic effects. Ask Klipsch for advice.

I admired your clean tidy set up which is in contrast with many audiophiles. Enjoy the dynamic sound of your horn speakers that could bring out the soul and emotions of the music when playing live recordings at live like decibels.
