Klipsch speaker choices
Thanks for asking crouse99.  Yes, I have had them for about 3 weeks.  First of all, if you like the Forte or Cornwall, you would probably like these.  They are big at 115 lb each; almost identical in size to the Cornwall.  They are made of Russian...

Canibefrank I would start with Crites speakers.  They have plans for a 2 way Heresy ported and the Cornscala 2 way.   They will cut out the pieces and send them to you or assemble them.   They sell any and all drivers with cross overs to match.   ... 
A different method of streaming.
There are more and more of these coming onto the market.  I too didn't know anything about this so I figured out your should have Bluetooth 5.0 and apt X for the latest and greatest.  I bought a $95 Blue Dento from Amazon(you can go cheaper) and i... 
How are you liking Amazon Music HiFi now that it’s been out a month or so.
I have had this since it was introduced.  I already had Amazon Prime and Amazon music.  I tried it and found that coupled with my $95 Blue Dento streamer I got very good sound.  I am debating about upgrading to a Bluesound streamer but for now thi...

I looked back through my notes from Bob Crites and son. I asked about the "B" and "D" version. He said the B goes higher than D because of the CT120 tweeter. And most people buy the B. I am not sure if it is because he steers them that way or not?...

I have searched around and there aren't many reviews.  He has upgraded them over the years.  I am not a parts expert but the 120 tweeter is an improvement.  The midrange is a JBL.  The woofer is an Emminence, I think.  The woofer and tweeter are c...

A Pass Labs XA25 would be my dream amp for these!!  My preamp quit so I am running my Bluetooth receiver directly into the crossover right now.

I put clear Danish oil on mine.  I tried taking a picture but it doesn't show the true color.  It made them slightly golden but not much.  They look nice this way in my opinion. I do not recommend any pigment.  It can turn out really bad.  I think...

Mr. badger_erich:  What a coincidence we both bought the Cornscala and are both retiring! I think you will be pleasantly surprised.  Give them a few hours of listening to break in.  Decided to clear coat mine.  Hand applying Danish Oil which can b...

I retired and bought a set of powered speakers for my small office.  I had this system in the basement but hadn't used it for years.  My son came home and bugged me to play it.  It wasn't even put together after I installed carpet.  Well..the Sunf...

Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio:
I am considering a Node 2i and was told at the dealer to use a Cat 6 cable to connect the Node directly to the router. I have some questions about that. Not sure if I am in turn supposed to connect my laptop to the Bluesound with another Cat 6. I ...

New Active Crossover... Bryston 10B, JL audio CR1, Pass Labs XVR1 or First Watt B5?
Marchand makes various types of crossovers.  He even had some tube ones.  Price was reasonable and he even had some tube ones.

Tubes:  I see some talk about Dared. I think that is about 1200.  Actually there are quite a few on Amazon but it's up to you if that's where you want to buy it.  I also looked at the Carver which starts at 75W and is $2750.  Carver has a 5 year w...
