Amplifier for Klipsch Cornwalls
What are some of the favorites you guys are using either integrated or separates?  
Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed?
I don’t see how they have the time to live here. 
Buying used: how old is too old?
At times I’ve emailed the company that made them to see if they have replacement parts. Some good manufacturers tweak parts so they can’t always be found. Many use stuff that you can buy for $300 and pay $3000. This is a tricky business because ma...

The midrange came along some but I found that the longer I had them the less I listened to music. They are easy to listen to and fun to play most music on. Like I said earlier they take the edge off of bright recording but didn’t quite make the be... 
An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers

7 days. They must be pulling them up the Delaware by mule like they did when they first came out. Will update once I get them going. 
An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers
The audio game is expensive no doubt, so here's a tip Op- buy nice tube amps in the heat of summer and list them in the fall. That's as close as you will come to profiting in audio, the rest is a gamble.

3-5 days. Looking for a few recs on dimensional, gold tone compared to silver tube amps. Single ended and up to maybe 60 wpc. Thanks!
