You never see this anymore
There was a time when Linn tried to dictate what other brands dealers sold and how they demoed Linn equipment. One dealer I knew called it blackmail. Funny part was when they trained the sales people to sit motionless and detached as they listened... 
Strange Klipsch thing
"Depth" is engineered into recordings. Stereo is not sinply two channels as most already know. Without some degree of reverb voices sound dry and without dimension. Engineers "build soundstage". On the other hand, sound "lives" in space, An anecho... 
How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music?
Burton Cummings can make you cry with his solo hit "Stand Tall". That is if you allow yourself to laugh hard enough. 
Favorite poorly-recorded albums

Strange Klipsch thing
A horn speaker placed in a corner will lack wall reflections that give a sense of depth. Horns are more directional than other kinds of drivers, so the only depth you will hear is that which is in the recording.There are pros and cons to every asp... 
Best bookshelf for House Music
For a fraction of the cost of most suggestions here you could buy some Klipsch Quartets. They are large and ungainly, but with any decent amp (I use 12wpc or less) House Music will live in your house. My neighbor said on my deck, with Forte IIs, i... 
Has anyone ever experienced the "Taos Hum"
I listen to the hum for relaxation. Studying the Cassini Saturn radio message is more of an active pastime, but right now I'm concentrating on what that dying NASA scientist has revealed.... 
Celtic Thunder
Natalie MacMaster "In My Hands", Eileen Ivers "Crossing the Bridge", great albums by creative fiddle artists. Two favorites in current rotation.

To be honest, the first time I saw they Johnny Cash video "Hurt"... 
Final verdict with amplifier
You wont damage your speakers unless you drive your amp into clipping. Clipping amp or overdriving the drivers should be easy to hear. Perhaps you could describe what you feel are missing?

Only when LWP (listening while plastered). Yo Yo Ma doing Morricone? Got to check that one out, thanks Danlib. 
Speakers that are RAP music proof
I second the Klipsch Forte, Forte II if you can find them. They are extremely easy to drive and take power so they are not prone to failure because you shouldn't ever have to run your amp into clipping. I envision a double stack, top to top for ex... 
NAD 317 vs. C 326BEE
For half of what AA is selling the 326BEE I picked up a used Cambridge Azure 540 v2 (60wpc). I have had it for 5 years without issue and it still sounds great. The nad soft clipping feature reminded me of something I really like about the Cambridg... 
Do you understand your amplifier?
