| Are horns and hi-eff designs becoming more popular Yes, Khorns or cornerhorns in general would work and be the other (ultimate?) way to go for me given my constraints if a local pair came up, but obviously they are a much larger investment.If I decided to go with Klipschorns, they would probably g... | |
| Ohm Walsh old vs. Microwalsh new Dogue, note also another option is to pick up a pair of original Ohms with good cabinets used + order the drivers from Ohm and upgrade yourself. Note though that in many cases, you cannot just pop off the old driver and pop in the new. Cabinet and... | |
| Ohm Walsh old vs. Microwalsh new GO with the new series 3 drivers regardless of cabinet design or room size.Either micro walsh or see if Ohm can offer a pair of Walsh 2's or equivalent upgraded to the new series 3 drivers. If not, and micros won't cut it, find out the lowest cost... | |
| Are horns and hi-eff designs becoming more popular YEs, I've looked quite a bit at the Klipsch Heritage line.If I were to take the plunge, it would probably initially be with something like a Heresy due to size and placement concerns, though the Fortes have also caught my interest based on user re... | |

| Are horns and hi-eff designs becoming more popular Height and WAF.The only room I could even think about putting those in is my office (not a fully dedicated listening room) which is only 12X12 and they would stick out like a sore thumb even in there currently.

| Which amp to Bi-amp my Maggie 20.1 Agree with Chadaffect.HAving owned Maggies and researched the Ice amp units, I seriously doubt clipping will be an issue. I believe they double in power pretty well from 8 to 4 to 2 ohms, so load should not be a problem.If one sounds inherently cl... | |
| Are horns and hi-eff designs becoming more popular One thing I must say is, other than mass market Klipsch speakers targeting the A/V market mainly in Best Buy and Tweeter, I has never seen any horn designs on display for audition at any high end shop I've been in in the last few years that I reca... | |
