@slaw Good memory!  I did play Johnny the Fox recently and realized it wasn't a very good copy, so I ordered a new pressing.  It was a bit disappointing, a little on the noisy side, but it may have been static.  It was pretty charged up when I too...

New Santana Album "Africa Speaks"

Van Halen - Fair Warning 
New Santana Album "Africa Speaks"
Uber, I don't disagree that it sounds compressed. Perhaps my point was that if that's all you listen for, that's all you'll hear. I can also see how it's not for everybody, but to those that said it "sucks", that's a bit of a head scratcher.

Klipsch Heresy IV
I'm waiting for the Ken Rockwell review.  Well, no, not really.  @stevehuff In your photos (which are great by the way) you have the speakers pushed right up against the wall.  Is that how you're listening to them?  I would think that wouldn't be ... 
Little two-way boxes on a stand....
If your only tool is a hammer, everything is a nail, right?  I've tried probably a half dozen speakers, including some small monitors and larger speakers up to Klipsch Heresy in my small computer room and none of it sounded great.  I picked up som...
