That's the nicest implementation of false corners I've ever seen. The entire setup has been professionally put together. Someone obviously knows what they're doing.
You don't think it might be better with a big floor rug or those curtain drawn?
@@alanrogs3990 I had a similar Khorn setup of the left with a similar large window. My guess is the drapes are drawn open to get the natural lighting for the picture.
@@alanrogs3990what curtains?
I'd be indecisive as to put them on the back wall, though I've no idea of the shape of it as it's not visible in the video. I imagine back wall, big TV, turn couch. In Summer, open glass doors and let the music out! Though some times I'd like to sit and listen facing out, so maybe save up for 4 Klipschorns. Surround sound!
This is THE BEST online demonstration of wonderful music running through wonderful gear anywhere.
GREAT VIBE, thank you....
No, it's not. Why do people buy expensive high end gear like that and put it in a room that's not in the least made for listening? Because they're show- offs and don't really know how to use/place/treat it.
In this room, paying a few thousand Dollars less on other equipment would sound the same, qualitywise.
Nice song, though. :-)
@@Kahsimiah It seems that the room was made for enjoyment of life and music and not for audiophile/razor-sharp style listening. Those views, that sound ....amazing experience. Congrats to the owner!!
These speakers were decades ahead of there time...they are still the Holly grail in my opinion.
My father was in the industry and said Paul Klipsch was born to build speakers that were second to none and that his talent was a gift to all that love music.
Sol Marantz was another..and his early amps are what I first heard these very very special speakers on... tears, chills ..PURE & BEAITIFUL !
I have watched many of these super high end audio videos on YT and this is the first time one has included a gorgeous system actually being demonstrated with decent music! And music that extracts the best from the assembled components. Normally it seems Audiophiles have extravagant taste in equipment but utterly dire taste in music!
My thoughts exactly!!!
hah interesting
I thought I was the only one who thought that, too. I'm not owning any $100000 equipment, but I test my headphones with a good head amp, lossless player,
and if they headphones don't sound good with Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here, or Steely Dan, or Rush, Dark Side of the Moon, or Beethoven, I return 'em. I try to test
stuff with albums that are recorded really well, but that's also what I consider to be actual good music. Some of these guys play the worst imaginable dross.
@@thiscorrosion900 I couldn't agree with you more Scott. and of course your music choices are very much what I listen to as well!
@@thiscorrosion900 Try Eagles - Hotel California Live (Hell Freezes Over 1994)
That was the reason I bought my Klipsch CF-3s in '95.
Just breathtaking, from the view to the sound and the song! Well done.
I grew up listening to Klipschhorns and La scalas, my dad owns them to this day. I am now a die hard klipsch fan and currently own multiple Klipsch speakers.
They just e-klipsch everything else (I'll get my coat).
I think there are upgrades available from Klipsch and other third party companies.
I heard the Klipschorns in a night club in Pittsburgh around 1985. I could not even believe the volume they were achieving. And the bass kicked hard in the chest. I was really amazed. So, I went over to the DJ at the club and asked, "Is all that sound coming from just those two speakers or are there other speakers operating also?" He said, "Everything you're hearing is just from those 2 speakers right there?" He was pointing to the Klipschorns.
After 40 years of building the ultimate system you have crushed my ambitions. I have never owned anything but Klipsch speakers but the McIntosh system takes it to the highest level. Nicely done! If I ever achieve this goal, I could rest in peace. I just hope to enjoy it for a few years first. If I broke into this house it would not be to steal but to listen. LOL
It does not get any BETTER then this !!! It`s like he is sitting right there in the room with you !!! WOW!!!
Great US setup but UK Tannoy horns and Radford valve are hard to beat too.
I dont know why, but I come back to this video once a week at least. Unique music, sound and view. Spectacular thing.
Wow, amazing how clear that plays over my cell phone.
The view...the setup..the sound...heaven!!!
Great listening room!! As if the equipment wasn't enough, that warm space with the money view, 5 stars in my book.
I'm not jealous of many setups, but in your case I will make a exception.
Must also be that gorgeous scenery.
And the system isn't taking up all the room. The amps are tucked away neatly and with the right speakers you can have them against the wall. The Klipshorns use the corner as a bass horn. Creative use of resources and saves on materials (and imposing structures) a lot.
an* an exception ;)
This video makes me wish I was there. Nice place, great music, and awesome scenery.
That coffee table! I'm in love with this person.
This is F A N T A S T I C ! There is nothing more to say about it. 👍🎶😀
Beautiful system in a beautiful room with a beautiful view.
I’ve had my klipschorns for 25 years, I will go to the grave enjoying them. You have some nice equipment. Maclintosh still makes things by hand and they are beautiful.
Looks just like the pair I've owned for more the 20 years; still going strong.
I don't believe I'd be able to ever leave the house again if i had this set up.
ok alright , convinced, thats heaven with heavenly sounds.
What a sweet setup. And the view are absolutely stunning. Cheers
Awesome! Nice set up! Amazing setting. Congratulations.😍
What a beautiful way to listen to music.
This room and equipmment is simply amazing. Congratulations!
Wow that looks like the perfect bachelor pad ! I wish I owned it Lol ! Fantastic everything, thanks for sharing.
my compliments ..... what a great system and room .. like a dream !!
I once owned a pair, bought them stealthily, my wife was not impressed. Obviously my room was not on a par with this. Enjoyed them for a year or so until wife gave me an ultimatum. I still have the wife. A sad sad day.
Anthony Melnyk should of divorced her and kept the speakers hahah jk
Ultimatum? I would help her pack all things
😂@i still have the wife.
You should have done what I did, dump the stupid wife and keep the Tannoys.
I would have said... enjoying the speakers with my younger second wife. Give me a break, your wife picks your audio equipment? Ha hahahaha
Good lord those things sound good. I’m just listening with decent headphones and I can tell those would sound outstanding in person. I read somebody talking about how life like the sound is with those so I wanted to hear. Everything the person described about how they sounded I could hear in this. Thumbs up from this guy!
@John Smith in what way...? any reason for the name calling...?
Beautiful setup, very neat and clean. Great speakers!
They are horns and it's in a bright room but not any sign of harshness at all. I love the treble, really warm yet goes right up there. Love the bass, so deep and the med is so delicate and transparent. You can nearly see the band.
The speakers that got me hooked on Klipsch. Very nice!
Well, theres klipsch and then theres the real thing. This is that.
@@Audfile
The Real Thing?
You mean "Speakerlab K's" 😂
They say I'm straight but I'd marry this dude.
Great set-up, love Klipsch and McIntosh I have both you can't go wrong.
Absolutely stunning! Ladies and gentlemen...welcome to perfection.
Great comments .. All over the place from kudos to critiques. I think the room is beautiful. And someone that cares about music.. That's enough for me these days. Every room becomes part of the instrument. If you want dead, buy a pair of headphones. Headphones will help you achieve the flatness that some of you need. I love it when people want to fill a space with music. If the space is bright, it should sound so. the audiophile crowd is always about "referencing" the sound. And that's very important in instances of engineering, but some just need to fill there space. Its as much a visual experience as it is aurally. Its called character. These are original Klipschorns, respect. My bag is large Arnie Nudel inspired Infinities.
This wouldn't be my actual choice of equipment,.. Since I own different but similar toys.
(Speakerlab and Carver)
But would be my choice of Placement. So you can Share your music with the Neighbors 😂
TANGLDWEB Speakerlab Model KS? I enjoyed putting them together and no ringing from mid horn. Also the imminence 15 was holy shit! Had a concert in the mountains put them on front porch. Through Marantz 2270. Pioneer PL-12D and Shure V-15 cart. Had natural bowl in front of the cabin. People sat in all around the ridge . Serenaded the whole mountain. People talked about it for years!!!
Why waste ure time the speakers don't sound like music .
I love the manufactured corner cabinets, both as a solution to cover the windows, but also to likely reinforce the low end extension. In fact, I'm not sure any other speaker would do any better along that wall in that room. Sounds nice and full too.
Absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Now that is a system to be appreciated I can now just visualise myself with beer sitting there enjoying the stunning scenery and sound...
I would give anything for a set up like that, absolutely stunning! ❤️
Well worth the money!
Build Them.
I'm sure you can find the plans for "Speakerlab K's" still.
And I think I still have a set of crossovers for same.
...from an old Seattle guy ☺...
Thank you for loving my weekend spot. Secret hideway
Great gear and just love the woodworking. The view is special as well.
A magnificent room with great incorporation of KLIPSCHORN and MCINTOSH with Eric Clapton--Unplugged.
That place by looking at it I got a overwhelming feeling of deja Vu, especially looking out on the outside ,Just absolutely beautiful place and perfect Klipsch sound🎼🎵🎶
The closest I can get to this is the pair of Klipsch Heresy I've had running through my Marantz 2235b I've had since 76.But still love em God bless Paul Wilbur Klipsch.
Stephen Flowers Yes very very good!
A trifecta of audio perfection, thanks!
Very nice ! Those look wonderful and look just as good as the view they block lol perfect .
Awsome system. Two of the very best American high-end audio companies. A match made in audio heaven. Klipsch and McIntosh, a dream come true for these fortunate people. God blessed you.
For all those putting this setup down, you are clearly upset that you aren't able to sit down there and listen. A carpet, rug, or curtains is clearly not an obstacle for the owner of this system. Amazing speaker, amazing amplification, amazing place! Nice to see one of THE BEST speakers continue to hold its own.
Thanks for the video, i bought a pair of cornerhorns in 1989 , for 3 Grand, Walnut, on the front, the wood grain, has a special looking grain, in the middle it looks just like a Tasmanian Devil, it is Haunting to say the least, but for some reason these speakers were the best sounding in the store, out of 4 pairs, Cousin Figel
Sound system well worth it! Gorgeous view as well!
Great video, I’m not sure what I like more, the speaker/rig or the view out the window!
Hi, Sound Sommelier very nice video ;-) like your Klipsch RF 7 II video with Deadmau5.
It's fun to hear the Klipschorn about my Klipsch RF7 II.
The McIntosh components are awesome too !!!!!
Great video! Keep it up!!!!!!
Greetings from Germany Uwe N
Thank you Uwe! Greetings from Italy
When I die and go to heaven, this will be waiting for me! Not just the Klipsch, but the McIntosh and the view also! Absolutely stunning!
this is an ultimate lively room. this is a concert at home
Klipschorn's powered by Mac. That was the first real hifi I heard 50 yrs ago. Still sounds good.
HEY.
Don't forget Carver and Speakerlab.
They were in my neighborhood. Until they Invaded my Home 😂.
Enjoy
@@My-Pal-Hal
HO. I fortified my listening room with electrostatics.

(gotta keep with the times ☺)
Yeah. It's mostly OLD.
But I can still Sterilize Small Animals 😂 ...and said neighbors...
You should see what's Not Plugged In 🤣
Enjoy
@@My-Pal-Hal But, do you have a Dancing Water Show
Music Fountain? I wear the hat because it's lined with tin

...what a Neanderthal...
We use ALUMINIUM FOIL Now lol.
Maaaaaaan I'm digging that RooM! And I noticed the clock on the wall. Perfect time of day for that song. Sip Sip!
beautiful space and nice system!!
My opinion, most sonicaly accurate speakers around. Klipsch always has and always will be my personal favorites. Would LOVE a pair of these!!!
Your opinion Is absolutely wrong.
there is no accurate. Most records aren't mixed flat. live music isn't flat. Even instruments and gear vary. British guitar amps like Marshall and Vox have a punchy midrangey sound. American amps like Fender and Mesa/Boogie are more V shaped. So which is really "accurate". Audiophile think it's neutral but nope. Klipsch seems to realize this and doesn't even try to go for neutral.
Guess he has no problem affording these. Haaaaaa. Great music and nice view!
Wonderful setup! The view is awesome
Absolutely nothing compares to a pair of Klipschorn's. I have tried. I now have 2 pairs. One at home and one at my office. My clients are blown away by the dynamic range. I drive them with vintage 70's gear.
my brother worked for Paul in Hope for 20+ years.......great speakers---even the Heresy's I have, lol......he had a pair of KHorn and ran the mono in between them
My God that sounds amazing. When my brother was looking to get the best speakers for his money we listened to b&w $20,000 Martin Logan's ECT. Ended up with klipsch. The best sounding speakers PERIOD. Old technology yeh baby yeh!!!
The rug really ties the room together!
Never mind the view.love the set up. A dream team.fantastic
Très beau matériel 👌j'aimerais être dans le salon pour écouter en direct.
When i listen to discern quality I pick out the parts to the instruments and hear how distinct they are. I first listen for the nylon tip of a drum stick tapping the ride cymbal and pan around to the snare maybe a rim shot ( was it realistic or muddy?). Can I hear the chop from the strumming of the pick on an electric guitar or acoustic? Thump from the bass drum. Breath from the vocals, depth and space between musicians. This stuff tells me the audio equipment has the power to reveal and contrast at such a depth greater than my crappy equipment. The room is setup and used to expose or isolate to my liking and the speakers follow standards of positioning ( normally followed) as well as positioning additional speakers to provide spatial depth according to my music collection requirements such as orchestral vs quartet or stadium rock / live etc. I am no audiophile but that's how I listen.
Hardwood floors produce reverberant sound which smears the clarity of the music, particularly the human voice. Room mods will remove the echoic effects. Ask Klipsch for advice.
Niesamowity dźwięk. A widok fantastyczny. Nic tylko pozazdrościć. 👍👍👌
Perfect sweet spot visually and audibly.
WOW! that's a gorgeous sound - even played via RUclips : )
Michael Cuffe have a paid for sell
Those speakers sound AMAZING on my iPhone speaker!
How is that possible use some good headphones and you will hear it way better.
hahahaha its sounds like crap on my 2.1 system because the mic sucks.
Mong man whoooosh
Ming man - you are correct, your comment was insanely stupid. You shouldn’t do that anymore.
Wauw, great sound. Great house and location!
Wonderful Music played on beautiful Equipment and Speakers.
Wow, I'm a Soul Man and I love what I'm hearing. By the way, Soul is dead today, I don't hear that word much. I have this CD by Eric Clapton. This sounds so good coming to my small Klipsch computer speakers. wow, I can't imagine, maybe I could, how they sound therein person. Let me get my credit card ready. :)
best of klipsch.
nice setup!and house, beautifull space.
just brilliant what a glorious place and system to listen to music -well done
The Klipschorn has been my favorite for over half century. It really is living *inside* the speaker, because the room walls themselves are a part of the bass horn enclosure.
In the right room they are perfect.
Piston and crank coffee table too, I see you got some style, nice digs man...
very nice. thx 4 posting.
Nice sound, nice set up, nice view. Thanks for posting
Everything looks fantastic, it might sound very good! on my side it sounds as good as my Laptop speakers...
But man, I love that V12 table, that could be an old Jag V12 crank with rods and pistons!
Well done!
Finally someone likes to play real music on their equipment.
Usually see a bunch of eggheads running awful noises through nice gear.
Thanks!
Yea with such a beautiful, live sounding setup. This setup has A LOT of class and taste. Wouldn't change a thing. On the hunt for Klipschorns, though can't complain with Lascalas. Just need Klipschorns.
Love this song !!! And the sound system !
Absolutely Beautiful, Very Nice Hifi
Please let me know when and if you sell the house, but the system must come with it!
Awesome!!!!
Interesting bases to put the Klipschorns into for that glass wall! That's novel. I wanted a pair of those back when someone offered me a showroom pair for "only" $4,100 but didn't take the offer because I didn't really have a good pair of corners like they need. Now I realize I could have made one or two of those corner reflectors to solve the problem until I moved into a place that did have appropriate corners. Darn, and only 20 years too late too.
You could have done the poverty route and ended up with a measly pair of LaScalas! They're still a dream of mine..
I know - it's funny to think of the LaScala as "the poverty route" because they are such great speakers. But in a way, compared to the Klipschorns, everything else, even the LaScala, does seem like at least a bit of a compromise. It's actually pretty amazing what a good value the Klipsch top of the line speakers were until very recently. Now they are priced more in line with the competition - or at least it seems that way to me.
La Scalas are amazingly powerful and loud quite on their own, the K horn's were pretty specialized TBH and more sensitive to placement and environment. The (slightly) smaller la Scala was more than enough for most people's homes. And what's with all the huge wattage amplifiers? Klipsch speakers were made for old systems with hardly 15 watt amps, 100 watt systems would make it uncomfortable to even be in the same room with! I'm not even sure if they still make their old speakers, do they?
@@Oldbmwr100rs what they make from their earlier lineup is now called the Heritage Series. You can see those models on their website and they are still made in their Arkansas factory, as opposed to their current mainstream line which is made in China and really completely different from the type of speakers that made them famous.
Yes also so true about the finicky placement of the KHorns. You really need the right room for those or you aren't really utilizing them right. I just love the accurate low bass they produce with such low wattage amplification. The LaScallas are close - they are great, but they don't go quite as low down. And yes the solid state powerhouses are really unnecessary on either of those, but then again solid state needs to have higher absolute power handling capabilities (peak wattage) to match tubes in some ways. More power is always better of course, but it seems that with transistors you need more peak power capacity to avoid clipping, whereas overloading tubes doesn't produce that kind of unpleasant distortion. Overloaded tubes certainly drop bass response, but that's not much of a problem with the traditional giant Klipsch models.
OMG, the whole thing... that table! love it!
What a magnificent home, system & view!🥰 Man, how could u complain if u woke up there & 2 that everyday!
Absolutely fantastic system & sound capability! Too bad my money tree got run into by life happening as a family man.
Oh well, things are not too bad, kids are fed & clothed & the bills are paid. Maybe someday...
AzGhillie01 imagine corner horns in an atmos / Dolby 7.2 setup.
A year later, did you end up getting some Klipschorns yet? ;)
Dream house , dream life ...
Gorgeous beauty that will never fade...
Snizzly
All that McIntosh equipment is jaw dropping!
I will never let mine go❤️❤️❤️
Mike, are you referring to your wife, or the speakers, or both?
👍🏾👍🏾 for McIntosh gear, House. Very nice. Oh, and that view too. I have a full McIntosh system myself 😊 I’m jealous of that view.😂
I haved that same set since 1993 still rocking .....
Awesome McIntosh gears and a pair of Klipsch
Great demo, great music! Really like the sound stage, large and detailed. That is an incredible component system, and an incredible view through those glass doors! Beautiful room also.
