| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under @questforsound the op is upgrading from the Kef Reference 3, if you have read any of this thread, specifically the OP's system. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Klipsch vs Infinity Tomic601....Yes, this was when the audio was monaural. I do not agree. I do not know anyone having this " single center " today in a stereo 2 channel set up. Maybe a pair of Cornwalls, keeping the L & R independent. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Klipsch vs Infinity @auxinput.......Khorns are full range horns, not just the mids and tweeters. @rvito . I, too, recommend the Khorns. However, they are quite far apart ( 17 ), and based on your listening seat, you could get a " hole in the middle ". My rule would b... | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. Brian, welcome. Very insightful, and appreciated from your point of view. I have been at this audio thing for almost 50 years, and was in the consumer audio industry ( NYC ). I knew many musicians, and spent some time in studios. Most of the equip... | |
| What speakers would be an upgrade from my klipsch la scallas and my Klipsch Chorus @rxonmymind...….Have you damped the mid horns of your Bells ? I have been advocating this simple mod on a couple of threads here ( a big subject on the Klipsch site forums ). It truly takes the speakers to another level. Enjoy ! | |
| Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel Good luck to you. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel The Lascalas are also 104 db, but with the bass roll off of the Lascala, I believe this is the comparison being made here ( imo ). Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? A couple of things. Looking around, more and more integrated amps, and similar products, are bypassing having a preamp section altogether, taking the source and switching, only, into the amp stage. My top of the line Sony cd player, many years ago... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? I believe what Nelson Pass is indicating, is that with many sources, and in a perfect world ( system match ), passive would be ideal. However, he knows, as most of do, the perfect world does not exist. Just my interpretation of all my readings. En... | |
| Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel Heresys are the way to go. Adding a powered sub, later if need be ( cranking Deep Purple loud ). They will be cleaner than any of the other Klipsch mentioned here. The best way to connect a powered sub ( providing the sub has the connections ) is ... | |
| Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel @gavinja70..How will the speakers be set up in this spare bedroom ? Is the spare bedroom a dedicated listening room, or is it a bedroom with the addition of a good stereo ? How large is this room ? MrD. | |
| What speakers would be an upgrade from my klipsch la scallas and my Klipsch Chorus Very familiar with the model 19s. The lack of coherence ( between the woofer and horn ) is something I cannot live with. As far as the B&Ws, never have I heard a pair that can reproduce the trumpet playing of Miles as accurately as my Lascalas... | |
| To Finish modding or not I would not do the mods, because these will not be your last amps, and you will never get the return when you sell them. What is upstream to the amplifiers that you feel they are the weakness ? Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? George , I tried to PM you, w/o success. If you could PM me, that would be great. I have had a few passives, but none were exceptional. The particular room and system I would be using it in would be : CD, mostly redbook, modified Sony SACD player,... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers Not a new thread of this topic, again ( and yes, there are differences ). Sheesh........Enjoy ! MrD. |
