| Synergistic Red Fuse ... wolf,It's only those unanswerable questions which are worth asking.I have a very short fuse so don't push me on this or I will blow. Beeswax all over the place. | |
| Trade in value to a dealer Ouch! My fears are being confirmed.hgeifman,Thanks for the info and links. I will check with those people. I might just have to do some selling myself. | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? geoffkait operates like a particular politician who constantly places himself in the spotlight (I won't mention any names). His constant noise says more about him than it does about the topic at hand. I think he needs a magnetic muzzle to muffle... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I am reminded of my all-time favorite bumper sticker: "You just think you're happy"# you just think it sounds better | |
| Specific Pre-Amp advice darkstar1,I am thrilled with the HERRON AUDIO VTSP-3A tube pre-amp, and you might be too. I run mine through a solid state power amp. When I was looking for a pre like you are, I don't think I was able to find anything but praise for the Herr... | |

| LaScalla "horn" sound compared to "maggie" sound phusis,Thanks for your terrific post. I shall continue my quest.Your Uccello are great looking and apparently sound equally good. Cheers | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? effischer,Great observations and wonderfully written. | |
| LaScalla "horn" sound compared to "maggie" sound Yes indeed, nice posts by all you folks. It has been very informative and piques my interest in the Klipsch and horns in general. The guy had initially advertised the LaScallas on Craiglist for $1250. That didn't seem out of line for a set of t... | |
| LaScalla "horn" sound compared to "maggie" sound effischer,Thanks, that's the kind of info I'm looking for.randy-11,I am very satisfied with the sound of the 1.7s and have not intention of replacing them. I'm just looking for something different and wondered about the sound of the LaScalas. | |
| LaScalla "horn" sound compared to "maggie" sound cedargrover,I had read that lots of people like tubes with the Heritage Klipsch speakers. I would be willing to go with a little tuber if it came to it. The LaScallas are super efficient and can be powered, I have read, with low power amps like a... | |
| LaScalla "horn" sound compared to "maggie" sound Thanks gdnbob. Yes I'm running a set of REL T5's which vastly improved the top to bottom sound of the Maggies. | |
| Original Vandersteen Model 3 I found this quote from the master himself from 2012 and I think I will go with it, which means from Richard Vandersteen's point of view, pretty much any later model 2 or 3 would be better than the old original Model 3. From what I have seen, I... | |
| Original Vandersteen Model 3 Hi Bob, I'm still here and appreciate all the thoughtful responses. Vandy speakers seem to be well thought of, but I'm thinking that with the age and relatively unsophisticated sound the old original Model 3 might not be the best way to go. Howe... | |
| Original Vandersteen Model 3 Thanks for the reply mgreen27. I have a little experience with the Vandersteen line. When I decided to get back in to quality audio equipment a few years ago, the first speaker i bought was the Model 1. I have heard the more recent 3a Sig. and ... |
