Was looking at some of the Audio Show reports and ran across this photo of Klipsch Cornwall's from the 2008 Rome show. Don't think it will wind up becoming a Factory approved mod.


Into the Tektron room there was an interesting set-up consisting of a custom integrated amp with 211 triodes (delivering 16 watts per channel) which was driving a highly modified pair of Klipsch loudspeakers. The mid-high horns had been detached from the speaker and "suspended" by means of a metallic rod (see pic). Definitely not the ultimate in terms of WAF but die-hard audiophiles are ready to divorce when pursuing their ultimate goals in high performance.

I believe that would be Heresy!

The amps are cool, the speaker looks like someone in high school metal shop got a hold of it.
