Klipsch Heritage Speakers
Finished in book matched Satin Black Ash, American Walnut & Natural Cherry
I’ve been at many an audio demonstration, that no matter how impressive, when it ended,
the audiophiles were sitting on their hands in stone silence- as if they were in church. There is something about the nature of being a card carrying audiophile that makes these guys afraid to express an opinion, for fear of being criticized by others in attendance. Klipsch Heritage is NOT made for puerile dorks. Heritage is made for people who love music in large, unabashed, life sized doses!
Klipsch has just modernized its Heritage line of speakers. What a unique combination of current technology combined with the coolest vintage look in our biz!
These new models mostly feature Titanium mids and tweets to go along with K’s updated horn designs. You’ve got to hear these boys in person to appreciate how dynamic and powerful they are!
If you like your music at lifelike volume, comparable to LIVE performance, consider the new Klipsch Heritage Series.
Let me point out that all these models use Klipsch accordion style woofers. Virtually all competitors use over-rolled surrounds on their woofs. The accordion style is dramatically more responsive. You will experience shock and awe with how fast and tight the bass is on percussive instruments in particular. Hearing a well recorded drum kit or stand up bass fiddle, will open your ears to how authentic recorded music can sound in your home.
Since all of these models are 99dB or higher in SPL, your current amp WILL drive them easily. Stop by to have some fun and audition NEW MEETS OLD in the updated Klipsch Heritage Line.
Real wood finishes are walnut, cherry or black. Cabinets are grain matched. Some models will be offered in various finish options- just to add a bit more spice to your style.
Heresy 4 $3200 per pair (24.81h,15 1/2w, 13 1/4d, 45lbs, 99dB SPL)
12” 3-way. 1” Titanium tweet, 1.75” Polyimide midrange driver
Surprisingly demur size when you see them in person. Not the least bit demur when you let em rip! They come with slanted bases. The bases can detach, so you can use Heresy as a fearsome shelf speaker.
Forte 4 $5000 per pair (36h, 16 5/8w, 13d, 72lbs, 99dB SPL)
12” 3-way with rear firing 15” passive
This updated Forte uses K’s new Mylar mid driver. It has a muscular 12” in a good sized cabinet,
controlled nicely by a rear firing passive, these boys are only 13”d and really- not that tough to place in a typical room. Forte is also available in a unique distressed cabinet with off white lamb’s
wool finish- classic among classics!
Cornwall IV $6600 per pair (38h, 25 5/8w, 15 1/2d, 98lbs, 102dB SPL)
15” 3-way. Bigger. Badder. Wider. A classic K-15! Cornwall 4 employs a new Mylar midrange driver with Tractrix horn loading. Cornwall comes in several up market cosmetic options. Check K’s site as they will change.
LaScala AL-5 $13,200 per pair (40h, 24 1/4w, 25 5/16d, 201 lbs, 105dB SPL)
15” folded horn 3 way, featuring the new Phenolic mid driver & Polyimde (film) compression tweet.
The most beautiful speaker in the history of our biz has now been beefed up and modernized. LaScala III, also dubbed AL5, has speed, power and dynamics- to BURN!
Klipschorn AK6 $16,500 per pair (53h, 31.25w, 28.25d, 220 lbs, 105dB SPL!)
The new K-horns are dubbed AK6. The old model, designed in 1946 (!!) is AK5. The new K-horn has an internal labyrinth to route acoustical energy in a specific pattern so these big dogs do NOT have to be precisely corner loaded. Having them “near” is plenty good enough.
15” folded horn 3 way, featuring a 2” Phenolic compression mid, along with 1” Polyimide (film) compression tweeter.
