Help Me Build a Second System For Less than $10000
I have a second system with a Leben CS300X integrated, using Devore Super 8's and a Sonos ZP90 with a Cambridge Dacmagic in my family room. Room is 15 x 17 and system sounds great at low to mid levels. I never listen that loud in there.Nice featur... 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
Oldgrey,I think you are right, that I should go with my gut on what would work best.My Klipsch will work with just about any power level, but if I do change then I would hate to be lacking in power, even if it only for the occasional big song.The ...

Jazz, little bit of rock, and some country 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
LowensRight now I have a Monbrison and Montille pairing with Klipsch LaScallas The LaScallas are incredibly dynamic but require subs which are giving me some noise issues. I'm thinking about the Orangutans or Tannoy Kensingtons, but I think either... 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
Too bad they wouldn't let the local dealer carry them. I bought a pair of Super 8's from him a few years ago and he was great to deal with.I was hoping that I could audition them locally. I think I remember that you have Shindo gear as well. What ... 
Single Sub Woofer for two separate systems?
You can do what you want. Just confirm that your sub will allow you to use 2 seperate systems. I have a pair of Velodyne DD10Plus that say that you can do that.

Lowens, let us know how they sound.I'd love to hear them. I think you live close to me. Did you buy them thru the local dealer? 
Are The Klipsch Heritage Series Really Worthy?
JohnkMy LaScalla II's were 4K brand new just 3 yrs ago. The MKII versions have addressed many of the issues of the original versions. I have not modded them in any way. I knew they would need a sub when I purchased them but even if you factor in t... 
Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle?
Yes I was comparing 2 Velo to one JL. Maybe it's not fair but that's all I have to compare. But then again the 10" Velos are much smaller than the 12" JL so I was able to place them on the front wall behind my main speakers. And from my point of v... 
Are The Klipsch Heritage Series Really Worthy?
I have a pair of LaScalla II's paired with Shindo Lab gear and a couple of Velodyne subs. I also have a pair of Devore Super 8's that are known to match great with the Shindo.The Klipsch absolutely blow the Devore's out of the water. Paid 4K for e... 
I have the dreaded hum
I would be surprised if it was the RCA's since everything is brand new. 
I have the dreaded hum
To recap, i have a pre-amp with a built-in phono stage with a MC input.When I connect the TT leads to the MC input it hums on one channel. It does not hum when the leads are disconnected. It does not hum on any other input incl MM input. I went ou... 
I have the dreaded hum
Atmasphere. When I use the stand alone phono stage the hum is gone. I only have hum when pre-amp is on phono input and switched to MC. That engages the internal step-up in the pre-amp. No hum with any other inputs. All signs say it is the internal... 
I have the dreaded hum
I tried a diff set of interconnects, no change.The dealer is sending me another pre-amp to try, but he still thinks something else is causing it. Could it be that the extra phono stage is isolating a ground loop?
