I mean really loud, the have a 100 watt maximum I dare you to feed these bad boys about 75 and see if you can turn it past half way before you can't hear yourself think, well other than I should turn these down a bit.Īnd while these speakers are very transparent for being a Klipsch set though they are very forward, these babies scream to be played loud and want you to push them. r/vinyl Anything and Everything about Turntables & RecordsĢ0 years old is vintage right? Well thats how old these Klipsch towers are, and with a 10 inch woofer and a Tractrix Horn these puppies were meant to be loud.

Don't let anyone tell you a two way does not sound as good as a three way til you hear a really good two way they can make a lot of magic but the wide bandwidth requires top quality driver to make it happen stock options would be a used JBL L200B, if the tweeters do not bring tears to your eyes on a good system then they need fresh diaphragms. A good amp (check out the Benchmark AHB2, the lowest noise amp in the world by an astounding margin it is a super hot rod version of the world famous Quad 405 but now with all switching supplies and done right, Peter Walker would be proud of it) and find a sota front end (I have analog and digital and will say imo you can get more for much less with good old CD's with some help) (entry level Sony DVD players can with modification sound amazing as a transport and the Metrum NOS Octave is simply stunning to listen to even stock) then find the best sounding cables and power cords you can and buy a lot of disks and be happy for a while. I forgot to extend to you a welcome aboard greeting, sorry. Just a fast track suggestion if you want to save time and get on with musical enjoyment. Bob Crites has a two way Cornscala type "D" which I expect you will like, with a vastly better horn and driver much reduced distortion and with a fifteen inch woofer for much greater dynamics. Both are good speakers both use the same tweeter diaphragm and a better tweeter will yield greater performance later.

You can take things farther if you are into modifying the drivers later or not depending on you. If you want a better speaker find a pair of KLF10 (about the same size) but brace the cabinet and damp the back side of the tweeter horn because the horn walls are thin and they resonate but it is a better more recent horn design. Cap replacement will clean things up and make things more correct, then when you make the switch up the ti diaphragms will let you hear more effectively what the caps have already brought to the table. If you can only wash one side wash the side with the most dirt. What you are asking is much like asking if you should wash the inside or the outside of the window. Both and then play them as long and as loud as is possible (so long as they are happy).
