| What does one purchase after owning horns? Dan ed, well said in 1 paragraph. Strengths and weaknesses equals compromise. It is important to understand what each one of us wants from a system. Equipment reviews and forum opinions/experiences are great, but it takes years, IME, for trial and... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Atmasphere, thank you......And yes, set up, gear and care upstream is vital......... | |

| Avantgarde Uno's Or Klipsch La Scala MKII Br3098. You are not alone. I responded to another recent post by Renmeister. As far as Johnk is concerned, I take nothing away from his experiences, opinions and technical back ground. I take nothing away from anyone who does not like Lascalas, or... | |

| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? I would like to add that most important aspect, musicality. Prat, dynamics, detail, coherence, imaging and spatial presentation, are all here. A truth, if you will, to the recordings, and, to the listening experience. I am a very happy listener..... | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? First I want to say I understand tube ownership and benefits, and appreciate all of those who own tubes. Given that, I own Klipsch Lascalas (in my main listening system) and am very happy with solid state behind them. Completely black background. ... | |
