    Heritage Products now available at Klipsch.com!

    Historically, Klipsch Heritage Series loudspeakers have been offered only through select dealers. U.S. customers can now buy direct. These speakers feature unmatched sensitivity and dynamics, recreating the experience—and the passion—of a live musical event.  

    Klipsch Heritage Series products are handmade in the U.S. at our Hope, Ark. manufacturing facility, where the first Klipschorn speaker was built in 1946. Heritage speakers are built to order; including hand assembly and shipping, turnaround time is approximately four weeks.

    Heritage models, including the Klipschorn, La Scala II, Cornwall III and Heresy III, are available in three lacquered wood veneer finishes: cherry, walnut and black ash.  Visit the product pages for each model on our website for more information, and to purchase.

     What are the chances of this option someday being made available to your Canadian customers?

    I thought the prices got slashed too - - - then I realized the price is for "QTY=1" ---

    Good move though.

    Wonderful decision! I hope, though, that they will still be available in the few stores that display them, so they don't vanish from the public consciousness! For a young, or new, consumer there is nothing like walking into a showroom, spying a pair of Klipschorns, wondering "what is that huge speaker?," then hearing the incredibly clean dynamics that none of the other speakers in the showroom can match! I'll bet that such accidental discovery is the primary way Heritage speakers are sold to new audiophiles. In any case, IMO, a condition for a dealer being permitted to sell any Klipsch product should be a training session in which they are made clearly aware that Heritage speakers exist (show them pictures!) so they don't echo the BestBuy employee reported by someone on this forum, who, on being asked if he carried Klipshorns, looked blank, then said, "All Klipsch speakers are Klipsch horns!"

    Re: Heritage Products now available at Klipsch.com!

    Good for Klipsch for keeping Heritage alive.  But what was the rationale for dropping the Belle?  I guess I got one of the last ones, in 2004.  

    Back in the day the Klipschorns were GREAT for LP's (Amy, are you old enough to remeber those?) since anything much below 40 cps (hz) wopuld translate itno bad turntable feedback.  Nowadays Khorns are still great for unlimited, full volume unrestrained reproduction of rock, symphony or whatever, though they do benefit from a good subwoofer for very low LFE (movie) bass, symphonic organ, etc. material  Still, one only listens to or hears other speakers.  One experiences Klipschorns.

     Keep up the good work.    

     

     

    Tom in Delmar, MD. 2003 Klipschorn mains, 2004 Belle Klipsch center and Velodyne S1500R servo subwoofer. Khorns upgraded in October 2009 with ALK Trachorns + ES-400T and ES-5800 crossovers. An Outlaw Model 970 tuner/preamp/processor feeds the three channels to an Outlaw Model 7075 75 wpc power amp through a Teac graphic equalizer for the right and left channels. HT in another room anchored by a Pioneer 50" plasma supported by a Harman-Kardon AVR-235 receiver, classic Large Advent mains, center channel is a (remarkably good!) RadioShack Minimus-7, sides and rears are Klipsch RS-35's plus a JBL B380 subwoofer modified with a dual-voice-coil Memphis 15" speaker to run off the main amp's subwoofer output through a separate old amplifier. A compact JBL PS100 sub behind the TV adds bottom to the center channel.

    This is wonderful news!

    I do have a question:  What are shipping charges/arrangements?  Are taxes charged?  In particular, I'm asking about Cornwall IIIs and LaScala IIs.

    Shipping is included in the price of the speakers for the 48 contiguous states.  AK and HI can call to get a shipping estimate.  Taxes will be charged in states where we have established facilities, IN AR NY, WA, CA and MA, as is the case with our other products sold online.

    Thanks!

     Great move! Long live the Heritage Line!

     

    Now... how about adding the Jubilee (as PWK intended it) to the offerings?
