2. speakers

Am I crazy? Definitely!

Hi All, my system is Rega RP6 with Exact cart> McIntosh MA5200> Sonus Faber Auditor M / Tannoy Precision 6.2LE / B&W Cdm7Se and REL Strata III. I have a Denon 3910 mainly for listening to SACDs from time to time. Have upgraded power cables and XLO and Van Den Hull ICs. 
2 questions. Firstly, I am thinking of buying some Klipsch Heresy gen 1. All original. This would be for cranking all my Rock vinyl as none of the other speakers are really great at rock.  
Secondly, I am thinking why don’t I just sell my speakers and get something that can do everything ( mainly listen to jazz, blues, prog, rock) and instead of rotating speakers in and out ( which I really enjoy) I can just be lazy and go with one set.  Maybe Focal Kanta? Or something like that. About 10k hopefully used. 
I’m quite attached to the RP6 and the Mc ( for now) so not interested in applying my upgraditis in this area. 
Would appreciate your thoughts and ideas on both of these points. 
Thanks.

How does one manage to look at bright red carpet, too?

How does one manage to get so deep into so many shallow minds?  
I would tell you- but you'd never understand.

Hi All, thanks for all feedback. I can definitely in sell my speakers as I have standing offers from friends. Would bring in close to 5K. So would mainly cover the Moabs or Cornwalls. 
What are your thoughts on the first gen Heresy’s? Probably should set my sights higher I guesss?

Way higher. Honestly, if you get Moabs, once you hear them you will be shaking your head wondering why people would so seriously undersell and understate just how awesome they are? When seriously knowledgeable and experienced reviewers and listeners say you need to spend $20k to do better, people explode in rage at fanboy hyperbole. But then when you get them you go around and wonder why they stopped at only $20k. In truth I do not even know what you would have to spend to do better. There is even one who sold his Encores for Moabs, because he felt the Moabs have everything his Encore has, but with even more lifelike dynamics. $5k will get you Moabs with the upgrades. Totally the way to go.

Sounds like you will be getting whatever someone else best manages to talk you into buying for exact reasons unknown.  Good luck!
