| 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... | |

| What's going on with the audio market? bdp24,I do agree with you that the demise of our country on many levels is indeed sad and alarming. Education and social skills are at the top of the list. | |
| What's going on with the audio market? bdp24,Yes it may be too much to ask and yes you do sound condescending and smug. You may want to take you skills to this forum:http://www.myenglishpages.com/forum/forum_files/forum_index.php#.V02s8L6LKSoAre there any other competencies one should... | |

| VPI TNT Turntables phoenixengr,The Hurst motor on my Classic One started making noise within a few months after I started using the table. I installed a replacement and it wasn't smooth right out of the box, but has since smoothed out. I doesn't inspire confidence... | |
| Solid State Stereo Amp for Herron VTSP 1A facten,I am using the VTSP 3A into the Bryston 4B SST2 and am enjoying the results. | |
| What's going on with the audio market? 65,40,?Audio equipment is about the only thing that I feel good about buying. It's much more important than things that one must buy, like roofs and lawn mowers. Those things are painful to buy when I could get a new piece of gear. | |
| Music Lovers Speaker vs. Audiophile Speaker For many, I think this analogy works: A solid state amplifier is more accurate and reproduces more precisely what is on the recording. The tube amp on the other hand, may not be quite as accurate, but gives that wonderful warm sound and is mor... |
