Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them!
The Klipsch are 104db 1w1m?   Not going to recommend a 300WPC  amp, unless it’s tube watts.     You will still neeed 200wpc for the headroom :)  took me just about 4.5 years. Of saving every bill I could save,  missed lunches, being mr pink for a ...

Use what you have, start saving for a monobloc pair or a great stereo amp.     Until then, use and enjoy what you have.

Is this an right time to buy hifi?
@millercarbon.      Someone gets it! 
Is this an right time to buy hifi?
Get a down payment on a shiny new Sanders Magtech stereo amp as well.       30 day in home trial to seal the deal.     Salk would not cut as @verdantaudio says. They are a very good company.        The major brand names ou would probably have issu... 
Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?
We would say, yes, they make a difference.      Was using standard 16ga as speaker wire in long runs.    Years back, switched to locking plugs with 8ga wire, in short runs of about 1foot to 1.75 foot as my runs to the amps. They sit 8 inches from ...

All record weights the same ?
Received the weight in the mail yesterday.    Seems fine. Will use this weekend and see how she works.      Since there is no contact as it’s the reverse magnetic sl1200ii direct drive, I should not worry much about the extra 6.3 ounces on the pla...

Old vs New, an experience with Dynaudio.
Auditioned several Dynaudio speakers, Martin Logan 40 & 60 (not the newer xt ones).      Absolutely loved each one. I ONLY went a different route because of price.          Dynaudio and the Martin Logan speakers were amazing, I kick myself som... 
advice on speaker matching, selection
Try the BIC DV-64 pair. Not the most beautiful cabinet.    They are a tower, not too wide, have a very nice sound at  moderate and low volume.   They won’t win a  brand award or give you status, what they do ave is a nice sound.     Look at the Ma... 
Am I crazy? Definitely!
