Personal speaker evolution
soundesign clock radio WITH external speakers! (big step up!) ;)Kenwood rack system, no idea of the part numbers, who caresInfinity KAPPA 8's, later traded down to the 7's because I didn't have the amp or the space for the 8's anymore. I still hav... 
can a new amp amp tame my speakers?
OK, thanks. The Stratos should be here tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes. Klaus said I paid 'about right', and offered to do whatever may become necessary to upgrade it if needed. He told me to start by leaving it on for a couple of days, and m...

Audiolabyrinth, OK, thanks again. Talking to the seller on the Odyssey, he echoed what i've heard/read, so I should be all set. Looking forward to finding out. Since you know Krell, what about the KAV250a? It has been on my radar as well, and cert... 
can a new amp amp tame my speakers?
Me too! Very curious! Thanks again. If this used Odyssey hadn't come along right when it did, I probably would have gone with one of the Krell's, since I've known about them forever, and like many, listed after one...this way though, my theory as ... 
Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please
I just bought a pair of the domes only on eBay. They're a pain to get aligned, but from what I can make out, better than the 'replacements' that use different material. Good luck 
can a new amp amp tame my speakers?
Well, my offer was accepted on the Stratos. Worst case, I can resell for less of a loss than if I bought new, best case, it'll cure what ails the Kappas. I'll report back in a few days. I needed to try something, and this is a less expensive way t...

Krell KAV250 2-channel for $1200Odyssey Stratos Plus $750Krell 400xi - $1600+Debate please....I am leaning toward the Odyssey for $$ reasons, but would that be short sighted?

Ok, there's an upgraded Stratos on here, but it keeps telling me invalid username/password when I try to ask how old it is, etc....anyone else had issues like this? 
Floor standing speakers under $1500.00
Paraneer, great response!! Step one is to eliminate as many choices as possible to narrow the field. You've started that with budget, next is 'basic flavor'. Some people like tea, some coffee. So horns or not would be my next choice. They have a f...

Runnin, I agree, and being in sales, I'm not unmindful of Klaus' bias :). It seems supported by what I read. I also agree that many brands could accomplish my goal. There have been a half dozen at least in this thread alone, and none were subseque... 
can a new amp amp tame my speakers?
Oh I will. Got my wife involved in some listening last night, on a variety of material, including some piano that was really interesting in that the staging was like a big piano, panning right (right hand) to left (left hand), listening for cohesi... 
can a new amp amp tame my speakers?
I'm not elliminating anything yet, except things I just can't afford. I am also one prone to wait a little longer to get the $$ for what I really want, instead of compromise and then wish I'd spent the extra, but there are options that just aint g... 
Floorstanders 3K
Back in the late 80's we sold Klipsch, and they were the go-to's for 'rockers'. Not my preference, but they certainly appealed to many, and the horns and high efficiency could be exactly what will flip your switch. 
can a new amp amp tame my speakers?
The problem is, as I see it, there are very few 'Facts' in this hobby that is so dependant on personal preference. I've read a lot about Krell, and others, and have no doubt they would drive the Infinity's, or any other speaker, with ease. My read...

ok, thanks. The Odyssey I'm leaning towards is 22.
