Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening

I'm reeducating myself.... after years of no TT and focusing on just stereo listening.. I had a some early Klipsch Hersey’s and some GENESIS speakers pair with Yamaha receiver and low end turntable 30-40 years ago -- I can afford a higher end setup this days -- so what are thoughts on pairing a luxman l-550axII with Klipsch cornwalls?

I like the Herseys for music in the day.. cornwalls seem to be larger herseys but may well need audtion some of the tower types folks seem to tout..

I still thinking on TT -- but may get a VPI scout or prime -- thinking through the cartridge choices and other things is still a serious education -- recc?

music taster are varied -- jazz to singer vocalist miles davis - linda Ronstadt and a host of others for vocal musics and instruments- soft rock of the 70-80s- to some classical

thoughts -- looking to 15-20K for the refit for stereo listening - but could stretch some if I like the setup

Well inna, the obvious question is, have you heard the ET LFT-8b? To have an opinion as vehement as yours posted above the answer should be, of course, yes. I'm going to make the wild guess that you have not.

"He probably have (sic) not heard many". Obviously not true.

"Or his hearing is bizarre at best". Um, compared to, say, yours?

"Or he is grossly exaggerating". Why on Earth would he do that?

"This is BS".

Geez inna, why the hostility towards one man's opinion of a loudspeaker you in all likelihood have never heard, and know nothing about? Weird.

Very few people take Eminent Technology LFT-8b speakers as seriously as they do Maggies, for a reason of which I am unaware (I own both, as well as QUAD ESL’s). Harry Weisfeld of VPI, from a recent blog posting: "The ET LFT-8b may have the best midrange of any loudspeaker I have ever heard". A ridiculous bargain at $2499 retail.
