Re: Do you miss your Hales at all?

The Hales Rev 3s had better tonality and balance from top to bottom. They were more laid back and refined, much less agressive than the Klipsch. They also had much deeper bass than my RF-3s. However, they needed huge amounts of power, and didn't have the dynamics I was looking for. The Klipsch aren't the last word in tonal accuracy, they are a bit colored. But the subtle changes in sound pressure levels and dynamics are laid out amazingly. To me that goes a long way in making recorded music seem more lifelike. The Hales will relax and seduce, while the Klipsch will grab you by the heart strings and toss you around. The greatest gift that the Klipsch gave me was the $2000 I received from selling my ARC VT-100 and buying the ASL Wave-8 to drive the RF-3s. I do miss the Hales on occasion, but since I sold them to one of my better friends I have good visitation rights.
