To Raise or Not to Raise Heresy IV's
To be clear, I meant the stands... 😀  
Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?
@coralkong  @dabel  I agree. This is 8th grade BS. Let's get back to being real men and ladies, enjoy our music and kit, and have some great conversations. Post your system pics or don't, it really does not matter to me, i see it as a personal cho... 
To Raise or Not to Raise Heresy IV's
@tonydennison  When I had mine I experimented with them on the floor and then on a pair of JBL metal stands, pretty much the same as what @decooney shows in that first pic. I ended up preferring them on the stands, with a sub. I think i still hav... 
seeking advise please on my short list for new speakers? (15k budget)
If I had $15k to spend, I'd go for the Volti Rival's.  Yes I am biased. Several good suggestions already also.   
"Can You Lift Yours?"
Mac 240 and 275 are deceptively heavy, and there’s no real easy way to pick them up. Bend at the knees, try and wiggle fingers under the transformer half and pray. My 240 has a nice dent in one of the transformer covers. I'm always amazed when vi... 
Guttenberg reviews Volti Razz
@audioman58 Good point and good advice. For myself when I'm in the market for something I read and listen to as many points of view as I can. Of course also here on AG. Then if there seems to be a mostly positive consensus and no glaring flags, I ... 
Guttenberg reviews Volti Razz
@jond Dang! One of these shows it would be awesome to finally connect up with you my friend. I understand the combination of either the Razz and the Rival with the Boarder Patrol is sublime. When I finally got to hear the Razz they were paired wit... 
speaker guidance for R&R mostly
I'd give Volti Rival a consideration. You are close (ish). Greg Roberts I'm sure would be happy to have you come for a listen.   
What was the craziest location that you made an audio purchase from?
International Projector Corp. single horn and folded bass cab. from an abandoned adult theater. The experience was not as icky as I'd anticipated.  After a shower, cleaning, sanding and rewire, the sound (in mono) is impressive.   
What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?
I bought my Volti Razz without hearing them previously.  Original plan was to attend an audio show to audition them. That plan fell though.  I arranged with "Greg the creator" to come and visit and have a listen. It was a drive sure, but I've dr... 
Heresy IV vs Zu DW6/Soul mk2
I don’t want anyone to get me wrong. The Klipsch series are great speakers. The whole line up has something for everyone. There is something to be said for a historic company, having produced iconic speakers for so many years. I did like the sound... 
Heresy IV vs Zu DW6/Soul mk2
@perkadin The Razz and the Forte do look a lot alike. Not to knock the Forte in any way, in my opinion the Razz sounds much better, the cabinet is made of higher grade material, and the drivers too are higher quality. It's tough to compare a somew... 
Heresy IV vs Zu DW6/Soul mk2
I had the Klipsch Heresy IV, they were dynamic for sure. An SVS sub was needed for my taste. I experienced a good amount of listening fatigue though. I sold them in less than a year. I cant speak on the Zu speakers, they look great and get very po... 
Thoughts About Turntable Upgrades
MoFi Ultradeck, master tracker cart and Parasound JC 3 jr pre. I am over the moon with the sound. Solid low end, sweet, great pace, effortless… made in the US.   
New CD Player
I’ve had a line magnetic LM-24CD for about a year now. I really enjoy it. Tubes output. It is solid as all get out, great effortless expansive sound. May be withe a listen for you.
