step inside Klipsch fans and fanatics
I have just purchased an unmodified cheap as chips used pair of Klipschorns. They suit my ears and wallet for most sounds, although for rock/Indie/goth genre's of music I  prefer my Oris 150 horn loudspeakers.  
Best Turntable for the Price - Linn Basik
I personally think dealers advertising their wares in a discussion is ok, they have disclosed a disclaimer after all. No one is holding a gun to someone's head forcing them to buy it. The price of the TT1SE turntable sure looks a good buy pricewis...

"This has been one of my complaints that as your system evolves (improves) some poor recordings sound worse "eh?surely, everything should sound better, no? 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?

klipschorns, they kick ass for sure
Tomtab; I am not sure if there are many out here who really care whether Klipschorns are considered 'High End' loudspeakers or not, or indeed your passion for them. Why do you care about other audio'piles' views? Its not going to change your belie...

RMAF 2012 Postmortem
The Saunders room was probably the best in the show for me, very open sound with lots of clarity, very well priced to.I liked the Volti Audio room that had the 3 way horn speakers making nice noises, and also quite nicely priced.The downside for m... 
Amy Winehouse.RIP
Tough Crowd indeed.To all those that think Amy was of little talent, or talentless, please view the attached clip of one Mr Tony Bennett, I am guessing and there is a strong suspicion that he may know a good singer when he performs with one, or is... 
Amy Winehouse.RIP
Flowers already delivered.The tv were interviewing her backing singers, and they are devastated that she has past away. They could not be of more praise for Amy and were in tears and they say there is not a nicer person you could meet(are you read...
