Agreed. Klipsch is primarily a mass-consumer brand. They do have some higher end models, but are priced accordingly.

This is true until heard on high end audio equipment. Once speakers get into the top tier, it's hard to find a recording that does not show faults in the recording or format. It's like buying music that sounds good on the stereo instead of buying music that is appealing on its own.

I have lots of vinyl albums stored from the way back then days.
It is only after I got into quality digital that I realized the amazing sounds I was missing on vinyl.
While nostalgic, not something I would want over the convenience of digital, with no storage issues for albums.
I had not played one of my vinyl albums in so many years that I ultimately got rid of my turntable, which was a very high end, DJ type Technics.
