Ok this will be a good thread.
You guys are getting me crying again! Thank you all for caring for a relative stranger. Twl we are blessed with a second wonderful angel of a dog who was Jax' companion for the past three years. His name is Diesel (appropriate for a 115 lb Bullmas...

Thank you for your kind words William & Mark. Rest assured Mark, that through the darkness I can also see how bright her light was. The light lingers even in her absence. I do celebrate her light as well as well as mourn the loss of her compan...

Trolling, trolling, over the bounding sea! I like the little smiley guys just as much as the next guy Mark. L. Frank Baum was the author of the Wizard of Oz and that series of books. It ain't da big bad words that scare me. "Big" ideas? Huh?! "I t...

LOL Unclejeff! Yes, I guess L. Frank Baum just doesn't pass muster here on Audiogon.... I should have been quoting Heidegger, Neitsche, or perhaps Sun-Tzu!Marco

Asa - Your theory as to one's refined/educated tastes being the root of the 'Source' preference don't hold water when held up against one of TWL's original posts on this thread. In that post he mentioned how, as a former salesman in the industry, ...

The god in me is one with the god in you. I bow as well and we are as one, in harmony with the great earth and sky. Oh yes, and I am indeed off topic, undermining my self-confessed, steam-venting post as it were. I do love the verbal jousting, and...

Asa - Do not arouse the wrath of the GREAT and POWERFUL OZ! You may just think you were outing a mere mortal the likes of all of you, but you are sadly mistaken: I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL OZ!!!!So let me try to pose the original question in an e... 
Ok this will be a good thread.
OK, not aiming at anyone in particular here:This thread has gotten so long that folks are no longer referring to (nor apparently reading) earlier responses, and, as from the beginning, many are still not reading the original question very carefull... 
Are monoblocks the way to go?
Hi Mike - Yes, I do like that combination of Quicksilver and vintage Klipsch. I believe if you ask Mike Sanders you'd find he was also a fan of some of the older Klipsch speakers with his gear. The Horn Mono is indeed made for high-sensitivity hor... 
Are monoblocks the way to go?
I have a some experience with both vintage Klipsch speakers and Quicksilver products. I've owned four different sets of Quicksilver Mono amps and currently use a set in each of my systems, as well as much expereince with vintage Klipsch Heritage s... 
I need to help elevating my speakers.
Lovan makes their Jazz stand in a 6" height. I believe they are shot-fillable and should work fine with your floorstanders. Available at AudioAdvisor as well as other retailers.Best,Marco 
Damned if I Do and Damed if I Don't
Wow, that's a shame, and a bit surprising too; The Sistrum 6 is a pretty elegant and understated rack in my eyes. Clean and simple, not at all dominating or bulky. I'm also a big fan of setting things off with contrast but I guess that isn't the c... 
PayPal Surcharge
As both a buyer and a seller, using PayPal comes at a great advantage to me. As a seller I can get paid more quickly and will attract far more buyers who may otherwise not consider an item (those who may be buying on credit). As a buyer I can pay ... 
Recording Industry Dirt
There's an interesting documentary film on the band "Wilco" that just came out on video. I think it is named after one of their songs: "I am Trying to Break Your Heart". It is an inside look at how an artisticly-driven band with some success deals...
