I do have to say that isn't the smartest house purchase considering how you make a living evaluating audio gear!🙄🙄🤔🤔🥺 It's like a Master 5 star chef cooking you your last meal using Cooper clad aluminum pans and then heating it up in a microwave. 🤔🤫🤯 The basement is just creepy. Basic recipe, normal house, average room, not a Church hall or a Den of horrors with spiders crawling all over the place. Did you even see the house before you bought it? Perfect house if you are in a church choir, not evaluating speakers at your level of success. Headphones ofcourse it doesn't matter except for the annoying echo as you speak. May sound mean but I'm sure I am not the only person who thinks this with each passing video since you moved. I'm sure the recent views tell the real answer!🤔🤔🥴 If I would have shown you that house layout that I might buy for an audiophile evaluation setup and paid you as a consultant, you would have said I was crazy and rightfully so!🙄🙄🤔🤔🤯😳

Bought the JBL 590's and then wound up getting a whole home theater setup around them, that's how much better they sounded than the Prime Pinnacle from SVS. To me! For the sale price of five hundred bucks each including free shipping back if you don't like them. I mean how can you lose except for the pain in the ass of boxing them back up I suppose!🤔😉😇 The same thing with SVS in regards to their shipping regarding returns so you can have an A B off comparison if you like and have the available credit.🤔😉 I believe you can do the return thing with Crutchfield regarding the Klipsch but with a $75 return fee.

Oh hell yeah, been waiting for a bi amp tube tweeters, class-d woofers review. Theoretically that's an ideal amplification situation, but I'm too poor for my Hifi dreams. Btw, you're thinking of the Klipschorns when you're talking about the huge tube corner speaker. The Cornwall is the XXL version of the Heresy (and that other one you reviewed being the XL version)

I own these speakers and love them. Was looking for the closest thing I could get to being at a live rock concert and a live jazz club and these deliver vs everything else I tried out that wasn't twice the cost. They work best with lots of clean power regardless of the efficiency. Forget the tube amps. Power these with any audiophile brand 250 watt solid state amp of equal cost and turn down the treble 2 or 5 dbs. You will be literally blown away if you get anywhere near reference level. You can shift money from a high end sub into these for home theater when paired with high power. A bi-product of owning these in a suburb is getting to know the local cops.

Cornwall’s for my 2.1. Cornwalls may be the next step up after these, but as far as towers go I couldn’t tell you. I want a set of rf7iii for my bedroom too.

Just saw you mentioned Cornwall’s after my comment while watching. Cornwall’s aren’t a corner speaker only. That’d be klipschorns. And before those you have lascalas. A lot to still review in the heritage line. Hereseys are just the begging. Forte iii are above those, and they’re about to release the forte IV. So maybe klipsch will send you those next and you can work your way up through the heritage line.

The house look amazing. I don’t care if there is an echo it is better than most places reviewers and audiophiles are using here on KZread. Mezzanine in a massive living room....I mean, you could literally live just in that part of the house ( and you probably do spend enough time there to call it living in it ). I am considering Klipsch RP8000F as my daily driver speakers so thanks for reviewing these too.

Zeos i just finished my home theater all emotiva t2+ c2+ 4x e2+ 4x vulta in ceiling and 2x S15 denon x6700h and getting an emotiva 3 channel amp for front 3

I think the Behringer amp is the issue needing a lesser amp for the horn. Would a calmer A/B amp like Parasound make it so that it would make these sound great with out the fuss of bi amping? Just hundreds of D amp power seems too much for these. The Ohms, ok but not a sensitive Klipsch. That is my way of saying I don't want to have to fiddle with it. Lol What do you think Mr. Z?

I’d recommend checking out JTR stuff! Have seen lots of guys upgrade Klipsch to JTR abs haven’t looked back,

So how do they compare to the studio 590? Specifically. Safe to say that the 590 are a much better value at $1,000 for the pair? Would it make sense for someone to upgrade to the Klipsch if they already own it. 590?

Will my Arcam FMJ A39 integrated do these speakers justice?

"oh, I have Guests... time to kill them!" This is so ME!!! I'm crying I'm laughing so hard!

Just bought a pair today. OMFG. YOU ARE RIGHT ON.

We need Cornwall 4's in there. with more soft furnishings :-)

If you don't want to do THAT speaker company. You can do Zu Audio instead which also does large driver high efficiency speakers which has a range from sub 1000 to 40k speakers. There's also some other boutique speaker manufactures/sellers like Decware which make a variety of full range driver, open baffle, omni directional and modular (can be bookshelf or plugged into a tower stand to give it more resonance/low end) They also do a range of tube amps across the price range.

Hi Zeos. Dont get made at me but I think you should get a reference amp for testing. Because I have the rp 8000f which is a very similar speaker to these and I don't that problem with the tweeter like at all. Granted its running off a 4000 dollar class ab amp with 400w per channel, but yeah I don't hear any imbalance at high volume. I know your not one to review/ spend that much on amplifier but i thought I'd throw it out there 👌🏾

You need to try that biamp set up on the 590s /580s wonder if they still have room to improve... Still crazy your saying the 590 at $900ish for the pair on sale gives the RF7 even a bit of a run. I am sitting on the 580s and debating sending back to wait for a 590 sale. Oh damn you...

what remote is he using?

Loved the review, but bringing out the bebop OST gave me the feels and made me track down my music HD just to listen to that later.

32:42 A 15" is exactly 12.5% larger in area than dual tens, so that gives some perspective on bass capability. For most, no subwoofer will be needed, that's correct.
