Having second thoughts on Khorns Need help
the man wants to 'rock' and 'rock loud'. he's concerned khorns will not deliver the bass. they will of course. as far as 'ice picks' go, most of the rock shows i have attended(inside and outside) in the last 10 years have sounded pretty darn good.... 
Sonus Faber Cremonas or JM lab Diva
tedmcq, the grand piano is a world class speaker if you value flat response, tonal accuracy, and weight. in the entire sonus fabor line they are the best all-rounder, and nail all types of music better than lots of other so called hi end speakers ...

all rock concerts use horns. i rest my case 
SS intgtd- Ayre; YBA; Sugden; Bel Canto; Accphse ?
they are all great, get a bryston b60 and savings bonds for the kid. its a sonic equal to the above without being as flashy 
Thiel 7.2 vs Wilson Sophia
the thiels undoubtedly win this battle of the full range giants. 
Sonus Faber Cremonas or JM lab Diva
keep the grand pianos......great performance and money in your pocket. even against the cremonias, unless you need heirloom quality furniture. 
NAIM 72/180, Nait5i vs KRELL 300iL
no offense to naim, but the krell is 1. accurate and neutral (not cold)....2. will work incredibly well with a very wide variety of equipment. 3. is in a league with mac, spectral,audio research, revox, cj, etc..... 
What's the best s.s. integrated for Khorns?
in context, what paul klipsch was refering to was dubious manufacturers and quality control. this statement is always drug out to defend the s.e.t. revival, the very thing mr. klipsch was 'joking' about. 
What's the best s.s. integrated for Khorns?
khorns sound fine with any good amp....a mac602 for example only uses about 3 to 6 watts to drive khorns and the sound is far more natural than many low watt tube wonders 
Good Bass Floorstander under 1K
find a pair of castles. 
What's the best s.s. integrated for Khorns?
revox s22 and s25.... int. / cd combo........the whole deal for both is around 2.5k......smooth flat response with horns, revox build quality. using with heresys and it equals my mac/gradient system. 
Reissues Akarma; Get Back; Earmark; Four Men etc.
most are copped from dubious sources. akarma is a lot of fun though. long live blue cheer 
Need a CD player to match
nad is great 
Accuphase DP-100 DC-101 Sleeping Giant Or Dinosaur
what do you guys expect for tens of thousands of dollars. accuphase is enigmagreat build, great sound, and everything else will forever remain a mystery 
Watt/Puppy 7 or Sophia?
for their price they(the w/p) certainly aren't the last word in a lot of areas. the highs do sizzle compared to many other speakers that sell for much less and midrange is not only detailed buy almost in your face. if you have a huge music collect...
