Amp more important than speakers?
From my previous post on this particular forum. In my many many years at this, I have not experienced someone wanting to buy an amp, and then say, ok now, let me find speakers to match it. As a sales person and consultant during many of those year... 
Amp more important than speakers?
If the question is what to shop for first, I would have to say the speakers, with the consideration to the room. Once the speaker has been selected, shop for an amp to properly drive it. Of course, it can be, and is, more complex than that, but th... 
Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker?
I have found that using efficient speakers, besides the wide dynamic swings, is the ease of use of a smaller amplifier, which sounds so much more natural and detailed than a much larger amplifier, of the same design topology, imo/ime. This has not...

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?

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... 
A true believer
Who cares ? It is the monies of this particular individual (as it is with all of us), and he/she can spend it any way he or she chooses. And if this individual hears and appreciates it all, so be it. That's high end audio for ya ! FYI, one of my "... 
Sub woofer cable help please...
If the powered subwoofer has high level inputs (speaker level) try connecting it this way. I run my pair of subs in this manner ( off of main amps speaker terminals ) and it works great.
