My dissatisfaction with the Quartets only grew. The sad thing about an experience like the evening at Scott’s is that I had a new audio benchmark, and I spent the next few weeks comparing the sound of my own speakers to that. They sounded cohesive and I loved them.Ī mind expanded by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions. There was also a good balance between bass, midrange and treble that was true no matter what we listened to. I’m not a bass-head, but I do like a solid low end and the KLF-30 had it in spades. Whether with Hegel or NAD, they sounded big, and there was an abundance of bass. I had not purchased a tube amp yet (Klipsch and tubes are a heaven-made match, but my Dynaco ST-70 was still a year in the future), but in retrospect feel that could have been an answer. I raised them, adjusted toe-in, moved them closer to the rear wall and then farther out, changed my seating position no matter what I did, there was something off. They were good with jazz, chamber music, acoustic – anything detailed and textured, without too much going on – but with louder, more complex rock or orchestral music, output lost cohesion and came across as dry and harsh. I loved the look of the Quartets, but never could get them to sound right with the equipment I had at the time. Klipsch Quartet Loudspeakers: Like a big Heresy.
