You can find plenty of choices in the $500/under range in tube gear at around 20 to 35 watts per channel. Pricing on that stuff has gone through the roof and will cost you several times what a good pair of speakers does. If you are on a budget, then tube Mac or Marantz amps/preamps are out of the question, unless you get really lucky. Reading reviews over the past decade or so shows that a lot of folks think they were the best speakers ever built in the under $5000/pair range when new (they were $1800). In your home, you might not like them but someone else would say they are great. Only you can decide what sounds good to you. 20's and 30's are the best in the series and easily found today for well under $1000. Having said that, I probably wouldn't install KLF 10's except in a small room, or as rear speakers in a larger room. I find there are variations in everything, however there are no "bad" speakers in the Legend series. I also know someone who had a pair of Klipsch Belles (similar to the LaScala) on a 60's tube Mac amp, and they sounded outstanding.Įxperience is what you gain when the results aren't what you were expecting. The speakers sound different on all three amplifiers but IMO better on the tube amps.
I know three people who have them, two are using vintage 60's tube amps ( a Mac and an ST70 ) and one has a vintage 70's solid state system (Marantz, high end). They also don't take up as much floor space as the LaScalas. They are super efficient and have excellent specs. IMO the best bang for the buck in Klipsch is the KLF 30 which is only about 15 years old. Also as alluded to, room acoustics, including size, speaker placement, furniture, carpeting, drapes, and a jillion other things affect sound. Any system with horns on the high and mid range will usually be appreciated by older listeners who have lost most of their high frequency hearing. Having heard a number of different Klipsch systems, I agree that it boils down to personal preference. Most importantly, the system is dead quiet. Neither are new by any stretch, but work very well with my Infinity RS III's. I use a tube Audio Research preamp, but an Aragon solid state power amp. Middle of the road stuff doesn't cut it for me. But you need to get really good transistor equipment in my opinion. Transistor amps offer better woofer control via a higher damping factor. "Vintage" equipment has it's good and bad. Don't forget records have better dynamic range, the difference between loud and soft than the common CD is capable of. Rectangular rooms suck for music reproduction.īring records with you. In a more dead room the speaker which you think was harsh can sound much better. But pay attention to the room, if the room has a lot of reflective surfaces it can sound harsh. I am sure he won't set up an egg timer, and so you should be able to hear what they really sound like.
