usual speaker advice question
Klipsch Fortes should do the job nicely by themselves. I think you are introducing bass coherency problems with 6 woofers, not to mention the 3 passives. This will give you muddy bass, although a lot of it. As far as the treble, if you like the tr... 
Album which you have listened to most?
Larry, listened to some Renee Olstead, and, I can see (hear) what you like about her. Listen to some older Linda Ronstadt tunes of her doing Nelson Riddle. 
Why not horns?
Someone is showing a great deal of immaturity, as well as showing up late in the game. 
Why not horns?
Given that my Lascala's might not be the "perfect" horn system, it was amazing how much more I wanted to, and did, listen to music after aquiring them, and, with each and every modification. I still own many "other" speakers that have taken up spa... 
5 legendary speakers?
I have owned mamy of the above mentioned speakers, and agree with many of the mentioning of them. I have owned Klipsch Lascalas for quite a while now and through mods, I love them. So I would like to add the Lascala to this list, because PWK sough... 
Album which you have listened to most?
Larry, I have not seen his NY impersonation, and honestly have not watched his program. I might check it out sometime. I will definitely "Groove Shark" Renee Olstead, because with your music recommendation, I have to. FYI, since my NY post, I have...

Renmeister, was wondering what happened to you....At this time I have nothing new for you, as I have stated it all on the other thread you started. Good luck in your search....MrD 
Mccormack DNA-1 describe the sound characteristics
IME Morrow interconnects need 400 plus hours of break in. MA1's give just a taste of what Morrow is all about. I own 3's and love them..... 
Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp
One of my systems has an RGR preamp that I find is quite tube like...... 
Album which you have listened to most?
As of late I have been listening to alot of early Neil Young. Can't seem to stop..... 
Why not horns?
I have indicated many times in my posts that I use live, unamplified music as my reference, as many others have as well. Unfortunately, systems cannot equal it, ime, but can simulate it at various levels (not only spl). MrD 
No Audiophiles in Hollywood
The most memorable "system" for me in a movie was from Philadelphia, as mentioned previously by Tubedaddy. Tom Hanks was an audiophile, given the equipment he owned. But more than that, he was a very passionate listener of music. Touching scene in... 
New Von Schweikert VR 33?
I thought the "horn" threads were the only emotional ones !
