Απάντηση: The high-end is dead...
Hi-fi is still around but is now more of a show within a show. The huge companies still show off their products at the Las Vegas Convention Center with all the other industries. But now, manufacturers show off their high-end audio — great sounding, expensive equipment — in small hotel rooms, often times miles away from everything else. That’s where some of the most interesting sounds can be heard in all of Las Vegas.
Klipsch was founded after World War II by Paul W. Klipsch who decided it was necessary to create the perfect loudspeaker. The large speaker he designed in 1946, named the Klipschorn, is still in production. So are some of the other high-efficiency (you don’t need much power to make lots of music) loudspeakers he designed over the years.
I had a chance to see the totally revamped Heritage line of speakers: A great sounding La Scala II, the newly refined Heresy III and the return after 15 years of the Cornwall — now dubbed the Cornwall III.
These speakers are big, heavy and sound pretty great. Expect prices to be on the heavy side too. I’m hoping to make a pilgrimage to Klipsch this spring to hear these legendary speakers and report back to you on how they sound.
