If I have time I’ll go there and have a vacation and (listen).

Boris, I’m not 18 anymore and I listen at room volume as you typed. If I turn it up a bit, it’s over after half an hour at the most and I turn it back up to a comfortable volume.

Yup. Might be more important for movies (and annoying your neighbors) but that’s about it.

@Bonte

But to be fair, I have to say that the shipping is passed on to the customer by you. Otherwise it would be €700 - €800.

I could have bought directly from the USA but shipping is even more expensive there.

Yeah, so I am not sure I would be looking for anything mainstream that needs to be shipped across the ocean. If I ever decide to upgrade any of my speakers, I am thinking about Philharmonic, but their towers are quite a bit more than these Klipsches.

@Bonte

There are also horns from Bavaria, which I can never afford, but I would like to hear them.

If anything, Avantgardes look interesting. Although if I wanted ridiculously priced German speakers, I’d want a pair of MBL’s.

Good evening Boris,

Of course you’re right again. I just meant that if you had shipped it, it would have been more expensive for me, even if the Klipsch is cheaper from you.

I wouldn’t do that for such commercial speakers (Klipsch).

If!!! I could afford luxury equipment, then shipping would be important (e.g. not at all from the USA anymore).

I don’t know how you see it, but I also listen to things that I will never own. You go to high-end trade fairs and you won’t be able to own everything you see or hear there.

…and “when” I’m in the area of ​​Bavaria, I’ll listen to the horns.

Speaking of which:

The “US speakers” are coming tomorrow and then I’ll see what that means for me in terms of hearing.

It’s just about me listening to something new (speakers).

I’m actually a T+A fan but everything has just become too expensive. I don’t want anything for free, but the hi-fi industry is destroying itself with it. There are enough reports about the topic online.

Have a relaxing evening! It’s already half past ten for me and I’m going to go to sleep now, he who sleeps does not sin!

For sure, although shipping s container of them on a slow boat should be much cheaper than shipping a single pair to the end customer.

I listened to quite a few very high end things. At this point though, speakers are the only thing that sounds sufficiently different to be worth auditioning. And alas, Austin is a small enough place that there are no major shows here. Chicago was much better in that regard.
