I think the IPad was most likely controlling a music server, but yes they should ask what you would like to listen to and leave you to listen without any interruptions. You are the customer, the priority, the one paying the bills. My experience is... 
Tekton versus Klipsch
I've typically come to know that the people with strongest opinions about the best and worst in audio are the ones to run from. It means there is something very particular they value and have found and need to tell the world about it. I've found i...

I had an opportunity to listen to the CW4’s today. The initial amp was the Luxman SQ150 el84 amplifier. I found them to be very dynamic with a great presence. I really like the way they let the music flow. There was no box sound to identify and th... 
TONE
What about tone's brother's attack and decay and his cousins texture and color? Even when it's all correct there's some magic essence that's either there or not there. I was thinking about this in terms of saturation the other day. I have a pair o...

So when my wife turns off the small singer songwriter stuff and goes in the treadmill I sometimes cue up the electronica or Floyd. One track that comes to mind is Welcome to the Machine. Do these pressurize the room on that track? Are you guys usi... 
Tekton versus Klipsch
I only have three things to add:A. I asked a Facebook forum to compare the O/93 to the Perfect Set. I never got an answer but got accosted. Zero interest in being part of that "community" of charming open minded intellectuals. The arrogance around...

My birth year. Earliest audiophile memory is our C28 and 2125 meters connected to a pair of ADS 910’s still in the family. Great vinyl collection and a MR74 tuner that would pull in WPLJ, Z100 and all the stations that could rock the house. My old... 
CHALLENGE: Best speakers for playing 1812 Overture by Eric Kunzel with real CANON at 92+dB
They must love having you 😂 
Entry level speakers for tube amp?
Hope he’s not still looking. 
Intimate, warm and holographic alternative
Did you mention what you have for a system and what you are most familiar with?

I can throw the O/93 over my shoulder and run them up and down the impedance curve all day.  The CW4 less detailed spec sheet says 8 Ohm compatible. Do they need 20 wpc to get that woofer to dance?  
sensitivity question
My favorite amp is 1 watt. Should I look at the thickness of the wood to find the best speaker. How about the shape of the feet? I wish I knew a common way to measure them?

@dbarger  thanks for the info! OMG these are the size of a dishwasher right?? Can you compare them to the O/93 with room loading? The O/93 have the ability to slam dynamically and with 30hz bass that can flap your pant legs. Do these seem to dig a... 
Looking for recommendations for a pair of full range speakers for ~8k or under
Take a moment to define full range because it's really dependent upon the music you listen to. One of the things I find it challenging is to find a speaker in your price range to breaks 30hz without a sub, that doesn't have some other characterist... 
Speakers The single most critical component
I agree to a large degree with the comments about the room. In my experience I had a $20,000 speaker in a properly sized well treater room I moved the system to another location in the same space but lost the point of boundary reinforcement for th...
