I pointed to your repeated insinuation here (2 times) about the OP identity instead of genuine interest in the thread matter Again, Saint @mahgister  , when I saw the similar screen name I was genuinely curious, so I asked, and since I thought ... 
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
Thank you for the input, @avanti1960  , I did a quick google and the Pure Audio Project Duet 15 is a bit out of budget right now.  I am not quite as excited about the Fortes as I was last night (last night I was thinking that in the morning, or on...

Ismmatthew more likely  pick stereo rehab to install it. @jayctoy  , where is Stereo Rehab located?

This dude always aimed at character it seems ... Sorry you found the question I asked the OP (of this thread) to be offensive, Saint @mahgister  ,  I am genuinely curious as to whether the OP is @jerryg123  .  Quite a similar screen name he pic... 
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
. . . back to power cords and speakers, @mrdecibel , a power cord upgrade is an easier component to entertain playing around with than a speaker upgrade is.  Even on the level of a one thousand dollar power cord (although I would have to think har... 
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
@mrdecibel , well, "nauseous" was hyperbole. As is "nails on a chalkboard." What I would say, in all honesty, is that I find poorly mastered and/or recorded CDs to be lifeless and un-engaging with a very flat sound stage. Often I find them to sou... 
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
I am very sorry if my words are taken hurtfully. Not at all, @mrdecibel . I value your input! As far as my questions regarding power cords and my interest in speakers: back when I bought the SA10 the salesman from MD told me that it would re... 
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
@jc4659 , I actually wasn’t worried about not enough power, I was worried that too much power might not be compatible with a sensitivity of 99? My ancient B&Ws are listed as being 87, and my Cary has no problem at all driving them in 50 wpc t... 
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
Thanks @hilde45  , I think that one of the sites that I did a quick pass through was the Klipsch forum and I am not sure what the original thread topic I clicked on was, but I remember a bit of an argument about whether the Forte IV would be too m... 
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
@oddiofyl , what catches my interest is their small foot-print. It’s almost as small as the B&Ws I am currently running. They are actually lower than the B&Ws. I don’t think that they would overwhelm the room. I guess what I was initiall... 
Listening Room
@jgjg123 , JerryG123, is that really you???? Hello to all, I think this is a situation many audiophiles find themselves in: That being your listening room is NOT a dedicated room that your expensive audio system resides in. You do NOT have a c... 
Surge protector
@jea48 , I continue to follow this thread with interest. I did go to Lowe’s site and find their listing for the Siemens FirstSurge 140-kA Indoor and Outdoor Surge Protective Device. After reading the second to last post you made, it got me wonde...

Sharri My traverse lens are arriving Tuesday. Encompass shipping dept. did not give the package to Fedex, it’s ten days delayed, @jayctoy  , who is going to install it?  
Listening Room
@jgjg123  is a disturbingly familiar sounding screen name.  Could it be?  Nooo . . . tell me it isn't. . . Anyway, on the outside chance that this is a serious question, I'd say +1 to @erik_squires  for recommending a pair of forgiving speakers. ... 
Favorite moment with music in your car.
This is going back many many many moons ago, but I remember one Friday night  in  early to mid autumn, a buddy of mine and I dropped some pretty good acid and we were cruising around  enjoying the sights and also the tunes on the radio with a desi...
