<h1>Prestige Series &ndash; Respect for the Original Source</h1>
<p>When was the last time you heard music performed live? Whether it&rsquo;s in a spacious concert hall, an airy amphitheater or an intimate club, live music is the n&eacute; plus ultra entertainment experience. Artists on a tightrope, no net, playing full out; using their whole being to generate emotion and excitement.&nbsp;Audiences up on their feet, dancing or riveted in place by virtuosity. Music is a living thing, born in the studio and on stage&mdash;growing, expanding, taking over the world.&nbsp;It takes an extraordinary level of loudspeaker performance to reproduce that thrilling experience in the comfort of your home. That&rsquo;s the goal of the new&nbsp;<a href="https://www.paradigm.com/products-current/type=bookshelf/series=prestige/model=prestige-85f/page=overview" target="_blank">Paradigm Prestige Series</a>.</p>

<p>And like the most effective live performances, the Prestige Series achieves its goal with simplicity, technology and the application of a talented human touch.&nbsp;Whether you seek a more lifelike realization of your music sources, or you want a truly earthshaking home theater experience, the new Prestige Series offers you the best seat in the house (the one in your own living room)!</p>

<h2>Prestige 85F Floorstanding Speaker</h2>
<p>Prestige 85F floorstanding speakers utilize 2.5-way crossover technology to greatly improve off-axis performance (for listeners not positioned directly in front of the sweet spot) and boost deep bass dynamics. This leap in acoustic performance is based on utilizing all three woofers at low frequencies, while the bass/midrange covers voice and musical instruments without the necessity of &ldquo;crossing over&rdquo; to the dedicated midrange.</p>

Studio sound comes home

Wireless speakers have been widely used to provide music throughout a house by the touch of a button. These speakers can receive an audio signal utilizing Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. How does this work and how do they compare in audio quality?

Wireless Speakers: Bluetooth vs Wi-Fi

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-fw-bold dsg-tools-color-dark">
What is Bluetooth and How Do Bluetooth Speakers Compare to Wi-Fi Speakers?
</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
Wireless speakers have been widely used to provide music throughout a house by the touch of a button. These speakers can receive an audio signal utilizing Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. How does this work and how do they compare in audio quality?
</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
The short answer is this: Both Bluetooth speakers and wi-fi speakers compress the data files differently to play music on the speaker. Ultimately, Wi-Fi speakers can be used anywhere within the Wi-Fi signal; stream media using the internet; use multiple speakers with one smart device; and typically sound better than the current Bluetooth speakers on the market.
</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">
<span class="avb-typography__heading-line avb-typography__heading-line--marginBottom dsg-tools-main-heading dsg-tools-color-dark">
Range and Convenience of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
</span>
</h2>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
    Both wi-fi and Bluetooth are standard features on most smart devices but work in different ways.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
A Bluetooth speaker can instantly be connected to devices but needs to be within a short range, so using the device while connected to the speaker is more difficult.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
Bluetooth was originally created for sending small signals short ranges, like wireless mice, phone sets, and keyboards. At most, a signal from the smart device can be up to 30 ft away, but, more realistically, only 15 feet away from the receiver.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
With these speakers, you use the media from the smart device itself, which means its use may be interrupted by the usage of the source, like phone calls, or background sounds in apps.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
Wi-Fi speakers only rely on the strength of the Wi-Fi signal and can be controlled by most smart devices that are on the same network. Wi-Fi speakers connect to one main system, which allows multiple speakers to be connected to play music all over the house.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
In this case, smart devices control the speakers, but the music is sent from your music collection or streamed from the internet. This means that phone calls or other applications would not interrupt your music playing.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">
<span class="avb-typography__heading-line avb-typography__heading-line--marginBottom dsg-tools-main-heading dsg-tools-color-dark">
Quality of Audio and How it Works
</span>
</h2>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
When choosing what kind of speakers to use, there is one thing that matters above all else: sound quality. Almost across the board, Wi-Fi speakers have better sound quality than Bluetooth speakers.
</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
Bluetooth compresses the data more than Wi-Fi speakers. Though Bluetooth has a high definition (HD) version, only some devices support this new technology, including B&amp;W PX headphones and wireless speakers, BlueSound products and only certain smartphones and tablets.
</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
Unlike Bluetooth-only speakers, Wi-Fi speakers have a way of compressing data files that do not lose the quality of the audio. This allows these speakers to play up to high-resolution (Hi-Res) files, which is the highest-quality audio file available.
</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
We carry multiple brands that create Wi-Fi speakers, such as Sonos, Paradigm, Yamaha, and BlueSound. Currently, BlueSound is the only brand we sell that has both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities.

</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
You may have seen Klipsch marketing material with the tagline “Pissing off the neighbors since 1946.” We’re smiling because that is spot-on advertising. Klipsch speakers are loud and proud and have a huge following of owners that have loved them for decades.

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
Klipsch built its name in audio thanks to great speakers like the Klipschorn, La Scala, and the Cornwall – all part of the Heritage series. Made by the hands of Paul Klipsch – genius, madman, maverick – who pioneered speaker technologies that have impacted generations of music lovers. While the Heritage series may date back to the beginning of Klipsch, it’s difficult to beat their performance still today.

KLIPSCH Heresy III
</span>
</h2>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
Relatively “compact,” the Heresy III offers the greatest degree of placement flexibility in the Heritage series line. First introduced in 1957, the Heresy, a three-way design, started out as a compact center channel speaker to accompany the Klipschorn in three-speaker stereo arrays.

KLIPSCH Forte III
</span>
</h2>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
The Forte III hosts a three-way design utilizing a 12” woofer and horn-loaded midrange and tweeter. The new Forte III has all new state of the art drivers including midrange and tweeter titanium compression drivers for a smooth and powerful response. The Forte III’s new midrange horn includes patented technology to improve coverage and control of the key mid-frequency band.
</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
The Forte III is designed to fill large rooms with amazing sound without sacrificing too much floorspace. At a mere 13″ deep, the Forte III is the thinnest Heritage series floorstanding speaker  – yet still able to deliver incredible, robust acoustics.

</h2>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
The third edition of the Klipsch Cornwall speaker is better than ever before. The Klipsch Cornwall III delivers the full-range bass response of the Klipschorn with sensitivity and output approaching the fully horn-loaded models.
</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
The Klipsch Cornwall III boasts a three-way design using horn-loaded compression drivers for the midrange and treble and a direct-radiating 15-inch woofer for the low frequencies.

KLIPSCH La Scalla II
</span>
</h2>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
The Klipsch La Scala II delivers the same sparkling highs, extreme output and unsurpassed low distortion bass response as the original design. It also continues to utilize the same horn-loaded drivers as the Klipschorn, making it highly efficient and able to produce high volumes with undetectable distortion.
</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
The La Scala II is fully horn-loaded and has a 3-way system with a folded-horn 15″ woofer, 2″ midrange and 1″ tweeter compression drivers. It is capable of extreme output levels with ultra low distortion and astonishing dynamic range.

</h2>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph dsg-tools-main-paragraph dsg-tools-color-dark">
The granddaddy of all the Klipsch loudspeakers. The Klipschorn was launched in 1946 to enable people, for the first time ever, to experience the power, detail, and emotion of a live performance at home. Commonly called a corner-horn speaker, the remarkably uncommon Klipschorn includes a highly efficient horn-loaded tweeter and midrange compression driver. Its patented folded-horn 15″ woofer delivers powerful low frequencies.
