When I was in high school, there were some Klipsch horn speakers like this in the band room. They rarely got used, but they were huge. Now I happened upon a home stereo gallery shared online where someone had speakers like that in their house.

I gotta admit, I don’t like the look of these. I like Klipsch as a brand and I appreciate big speakers (for sound and looks), but this just doesn’t look impressive to me. Hopefully they sound better than they look. There are excellent-sounding speakers that look much cooler, IMO, but to each their own.

Also, what do you want to bet that the owner of these is single? I imagine the WAF (Wife Approval Factor) of these is zero (0). That kind of thing matters when you get married. I have a friend whose wife would put his (small) speakers behind plants or even inside the armoire with the closing doors (this was years ago, when a 32″ TV was standard). Covering speakers affects the sound quality, but to some people, seeing plants is more important than immersive 5.1 home theater surround sound. 🙂 I guess everyone has to choose what matters to them. (For the record, I managed to keep my large speakers after getting married. She’s allowed to put fake plants on top of them, but if they fall off from the bass vibrations, that’s not my fault. Also, my speakers are nowhere near as large as those in the picture.)

P.S., somebody should tell the owner of that picture that someone spilled paint on his painting. It looks a mess and you can’t even tell what it is anymore… 🙂 Is that supposed to be cats jumping over a flag that’s on fire? Or is it where his cats “painted” it by knocking over paint cans? Really, I have no idea… I just don’t understand modern art…
