They do call them floor-standing, but they're not too bad....

woah those klipsch cornwall speakers look incredible
super high sensitivity and 35hz bass extension
I don't think I'd be wanting a subwoofer with those


EDIT: what do you guys think about the bass extension on the Heresy?

It just so happens that a city 19 miles away has a Klipsch dealer

Don't horns sound honky? I know they play loud, but there is more to music than loud.

Those Klipsch are some of the very few speakers that can reproduce Beethoven's 9th accurately. Horns are not honky at all lol. Just efficient and very damn loud yes.

Missing the Zu Cable, which got a lot a love over at 6moons. And also tackles weak bass response of most low watt amps. And there not so bulky...


Also read good things about: Ikonoklast. And utilisateur is in the process to build a speaker like the Ikonoklast.


And something completely different, very promising, but unfortunately low effiency, the Planot speaker.

The bass EXTENSION is an issue with the Heresy. That said, they are similar to the AKG K1000 in that regard - the IMPACT is definately there.

Are you sure??

I just can't wrap my head around speakers running from a single watt.
(I would be running in triode mode - 1.2 watts)

Are you sure that 1 watt is enough?
Would the Klipsch dealers even let me near their speakers with the Cayin HA-1A?

dude a 105db speaker is about as efficient as they get. yes it will work great despite their huge size. the la scala weighs 140lbs each but will run fine on a t-amp ffs lol.
