Who wants to have colored speakers? 
Mattresses, not stereos is where the money is
It because it is not only audiophiles are looking for a "sound" sleep. 
Klipsch speaker choices
I have not heard the Cornwall IV, but I owned the Cornwall III.  I prefer Forte III due to its having LESS cabinet resonance.  I even preferred the Heresy III over the Cornwall III because of this reason. (The Heresy would NEED a subwoofer).   Tha... 
What is wrong here.. on Audiogon?
I have found that the experts do not know whether I will like something or not. Now I will ask about FACTUAL information, but as for subjective opinions, not any more.  Asking what audio equipment sounds better is a like asking someone which ice-c... 
Saxaphone vs. Trumpet...Which do you prefer?
Sax  
Do you guys like Adele's music?
If not for the poor sounding CDs (because of squashed dynamic range and other "modern" artifacts, I would like her music yes.  But if the music SOUNDS bad, then it takes away any enjoyment of my listening to it.

The Cornwall III has the same mid and tweeter as the Heresy III.  The Cornwall has a HUGE sound.  The bass is stunning.  I would say, in general, if one likes the Heresy III but wants more bass, Cornwall III is the way to go.  I owned the Cornwall...

I have had Belles, Heresy II, Heresy III, Cornwall II, Cornwall III, Forte I, Forte II and Forte III.  The only one I did not like was the Belles. They had a cabinet resonance or a hump around 200hz (estimated) that I just could not live with.  Th... 
What is a lowball offer? How low is low?
So many people are so afraid they might be paying too much. Oh the horror if one finds one less expensive after they buy something. And as it has been already stated, even after accepting a lowball offer, often times they still don’t buy it. I NEV... 
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
Well since I have swapped amps more than a few times in otherwise the same system. And I have also swapped some of the same amps through after other components have been changed through the years. I can tell you MY favorite amps have been but two:...

EKSC supplied a schematic with his DIY cap replacement kit. I am hoping some here may have those schematics on file and can present a PDF.
