Look, I'm obviously going to try and justify my purchase now but - that said - I'm rather incredulous that the Klipschs could be anywhere even close to the Kiis. I really didn't want to buy them - they were far more expensive than I ever thought I'd stretch to (even though I got them ex dem with £5k off list price) - but I demo'd them primarily because I was about to buy some ex dem Neumann 310s which I thought were superb in extension and clarity but much worse in terms of imaging than my existing Boenicke (which have the best imaging I'd heard before I bought them though, on the other hand, I understand they are inaccurate frequency-wise) and I didn't want to get upgraditis later and once I did, well, I couldn't say no. They bested the extension and accuracy of the Neumanns and added pinpoint imaging too. I've since bought a Lyngdorf amp just for Room Perfect to use with my Boenickes and a sub and it's a massive improvement but it's still not close to the straight out of the box performance of the Kiis. I appreciate all this is entirely subjective and unchecked but, in support of my position, I refer to Amir's review of Klipsch speakers vs the measurements referenced at the start of this thread.
