You are in my 'person of of interest' column under suspicion of being under the influence of Hillary. So who do you like listening to better, Klipsch or Shrillary?

Both!
My Klipsch speakers are smooth...they are not shrill. And as long as I know Hillary's voice drives you crazy I will gladly listen to her. You better get used to it you have 8 years of Hillary to enjoy!

The best Klipsch I listened to were the ones that were silent. I am serious though the Belles were decent.

Klipsch have such a distinctive sound that a lot of people can't stand to listen to them. On the other hand, there is probably an equal number of people that prefer them over every other speaker. I'm not part of either group. I can take 'em or leave 'em.

I have never heard any of the legacy speakers (Khorns, Cornwalls, Belles, Heresy, La Scala) so I cannot judge them. From what I have read on AK the Heresy seems to be the one most dinged for harshness. Now I have Synergy series (books shelves and small towers), Reference (RB-5 bookshelves) and Epic Series CF-3. None of those are too harsh to my ears at all. The RB-5s in particular sound really detailed and they can throw the voice way out in front of the music but in a good way. A few years back at work we had a pair of Klipsch RF-10s, which are small towers. Those sounded fantastic...silky smooth.
I'm like John I can take or leave them. For warm mid-range with really non-tiring listening the KEF 104/2 is probably the best.

I've only listened to the ones you listed + Fortes, owned the Heresy's for a week and sold it, bought a pair of Kg 3's cheap and gave those away to one of my people. Just could not get into them.
I've heard the KEF 104/2's (an audio friend has them) and they are very smooth and large.

In Four-Party Race, Clinton's Lead Takes a Hit
16% for candidates outside of the two party Duopoly. And I'm hoping to see that grow.

In a head-to-head contest, Hillary Clinton has maintained a comfortable lead over her likely presidential opponent Donald Trump. However, new polling out Tuesday shows that when pitted in a four-way match-up, such as is expected come November, Clinton's advantage shrinks to just four points.
The new CNN/ORC survey (pdf) finds that when pitted against Trump, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Clinton claims 42 percent of the vote. Trump follows with 38 percent, while Johnson and Stein claim 9 and 7 percent respectively.
