klipshorn speakers
Heard a lot of people’s Klipschorns, in a lot of different rooms, even in 4 corners and even stacked, and been impressed maybe twice. It’s one of those speakers that posers buy for the name and don’t dial them in well. Shouty and piercing more tim... 
warmest speaker cables you've heard?

Dolby Atmos - is it for Audiophiles?
Been to all the pro demos, heard in a few environments. It’s just simply not good for music. It’s a theatre effect at best and a gimmick at worst.

I found a 2 last night (which is what I had before) but wondering what is the major difference between that and the 2A? Keith did say a while back that he could upgrade my 2 to a 2A but that was right before he stopped production so that's clearly...
