| Can a vintage piece over 40 years old be Highend Robm321:Just starting people thinking . I never did care terribly much if people thought my system sounded good or not. I have been consumed by this hobby on and off for years but the term high end only became a common descriptor a few years ago. ... | |
| klipsch speakers,be honest Trippin:I wrote to you in your other thread. I own La Scalas and Heresies and have been a Klipsch owner for 25 years. The best amplification is actually an amp that can move the big 15 inch folded horn woofer. So in despite the incredible SPLs you... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers for bookshelf placement The Coincident triumph is perhaps the cleanest most transparent good staging true bookshelf sized speaker Ihave heard but it tends to lack good bass extension . They have unreal treble if your a fan of that. I have also liked earlier versions of t... | |
| Klipschorn-Klipsch-The Loft NYC No idea if they were used in "The Loft" but in 1970 there were only a couple of choices for a commercial application from Klipsch. It is very possible that they used La Scalas which had a professional version and were frequently used in clubs for ... | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? My mother always said if you can't say something nice......How do you like the sound of tin cans or table radios ask yourself these questions. I have a very hard time understanding the hype but they supposedly require a very, very long break in bu... | |
| Future of this hobby? I am afraid there has been a huge paradigm shift. The real question is the younger generation concerned about the quality of play back. The answer is no . Many of you have said this wasn't the case 20-30 years ago either. Nothing could be further ... | |
| What's With the Ring Radiator Tweeter? Are you talking about the true (?Vifa or Scan Speak I think) Revelator ring radiator? If so you are refering to a very highly regarded and well made tweeter which will respond differently to the electronics and enclosures used. They are very clean... | |

| Horns for Rock. The older Klipsch are the only way to go. Don't use the RF7s they are tinker toys and yes all you need are Heresies but don't underpower them. I have LaScalas and Heresies and think the bass is better on the Heresies. The laScalas will play very v... | |
| How many speakers ouyt there are 100+ db sens.???? There are many but they may not please you. Very efficient speakers are also abvailable as kits and DIY. Check out the DIY amp makers suggestions many of their amps put out considerably less than 18 watts. Look into horns if you don't mind that so... | |
| Speaker cable gauge and amplifier power I don't have a scientific answer but when I had dedicated circuits put in the electrician said that 15 amp capable power lines were massive overkill. I was asking for twenty, he said if you pull over 7-8 amps that would be remarkable. And I use 40... | |
| Why is there no Mid End Yes indeed if its a familiar name which also happens to produce mass market gear it can't be high end. That being said some people will allow the best Sony front ends into High end because they cost so much. But that is mainly past tense for Sony.... | |
| Focal Electra Be 937's placement Sounds like a very active room, you made need some absorbers. Mine are toe in 4 feet rom the back wall with no harshness. I had to use the right cabling also a very important factor. | |
