Re: Bristol Show
The small Klipsch sounded fine. Nothing outstanding. They don't look tat and I wouldn't say overpriced. Had a lot of recommendations from online reviewers. Now the Classic speakers are generally really good sounding if you like that type of presentation, but they are becoming overpriced in UK. The new Heresy is £3.5K. Finish appears higher standard than previous versions. Not a lot of competition with large drivers. I'm told they are now $3K even in the US.

Re: Bristol Show
They are all profit mongering examples dressed up with bling to part the average audiophile idiot of their money. I was going to say hard earned money but most people these days dont know what the term hard earned means.

Re: Bristol Show
I paid just under £900 for a mint, boxed pair of Heresy 3. At that price, bargain. New at £2kish, OK, not bad. £3.5k is silly.Classicrock wrote: ↑Sun Feb 23, 2020 1:11 am The small Klipsch sounded fine. Nothing outstanding. They don't look tat and I wouldn't say overpriced.

Up until recently they were $800 each (sold singly) in the US...

Re: Bristol Show
The new model is $1499 each in the US. So it's Klipsch that have raised prices not the importer.savvypaul wrote: ↑Sun Feb 23, 2020 11:54 amI paid just under £900 for a mint, boxed pair of Heresy 3.
