| Who uses ADS Speakers Had L710s for a few years (late 70's I think). Moved on from there to satellite/subs. | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? Have had Rectilinear, Visonik, ADS, Maggies, Thiels, Acoustat, M&K, Salk (still have these), and probably a few others I've forgotten, and have no complaints on running Forte IV's in my main (of 3) system. | |
| Recommendations Wanted One thing that would help the respondents is to know what it is in your current speakers/system you define as deficient. Without that, we're shooting in the dark with respect to recommendations. (In general, though, 40wpc is pretty weak for most... | |
| Subwoofer for music, how low? +1 for REL. Start with one and see where it takes you. Too many here trying to persuade you to join their swarm club without knowing what one good sub will do in your specific listening room. | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? +1 on La Scalas or Cornwall IV, depending on budget. Tekton? He said WAF was important, so... | |
| Santa didnt bring me a $20k linestage He got run over by a reindeer before he got to your house. No wait, that was grandma. Paramedics intercepted your package while they were working on her. | |

| HELP - Subwoofer placement +1 for the listening location placement and crawl around; Make sure you stay close to floor level; it does make a difference. And be prepared to be surprised as to where the sub will sound the best; location may be counter-intuitive. | |
| CDP or Transport and DAC? Recomendations? Used Luxman D-06u, and can get a separate DAC in a few years if the tech changes sufficiently. | |
| If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... Yeah, them laser lenses really get magnetized. Doesn’t jibe with anything I know about optics and lasers, but who cares when you can buy something to fix it just in case. | |
| Phono preamp suggestions; can I improve upon my Aesthetix Rhea Sig ? Maybe different, not necessarily better. But by all means, keep spending money on different phono preamps (instead of LPs) and let us know how it goes. | |
| Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money? Me have beautiful smart triplet ambidextrous contortionist supermodel so there what have do with audio? | |
| Advice for Amp to Drive Klipsch Forte IVs I say BS on the "must use tubes" nonsense. Using an Edge G8 (70 wpc SS class AB) with mine after experimenting with a Moth S45 running 2A3's, which just didn't have enough guts in the low end. Although some say Decware is satisfactory for the Fo... | |
| Two of the most powerful words ever What if posts like this didn't make me reach the "blah blah blah" point sooner rather than later? | |
| Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services. Too much enjoyment remains from several thousand LPs and CDs to worry about the screaming service of the moment. Didn't bother with Facebook either. |
