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 ! 
Best place to put a single subwoofer?
Sthomas12321. FYI . This sub question was for a dedicated 2 channel music system, as indicated in the op. Thank you

Martinmobile, anything new to report ? 
Best place to put a single subwoofer?
Martinmobile, microphonics are the result of unwanted vibrations via acoustic (airborn) or mechanical feedback, usually re-amplified through the system. These can enter (or exist in) the preamp chassis and screw things up. IME tubes are more prone... 
Best place to put a single subwoofer?
Martinmobile, imo/ime, all seems in order, except for two things. Because of the omni pattern of the MBLs, much is being absorbed by your panels, although I do tend to like a "dead" wall behind the speakers. As an experiment, try removing some to ... 
Best place to put a single subwoofer?
Martinmobile, what is the rest of your system ?, amp/equipment, etc. My experience with MBLs have always been with Krell monos, and, a Crown Macro Reference. They love lots of power and lots of current, especially at a louder volume. I am not sure... 
Best place to put a single subwoofer?
For high end 2 channel systems, my experiences have always lead me to a pair of matching subs, as opposed to one, set up equally from the listening position as are the mains. Of course, serious time and tweaking are expected for good to excellent ... 
What does one purchase after owning horns?
Macrojack, thanks for the response. Modified Klipsch do qualify as a player, and maybe with the exemption of other horn designs, are far superior (imo,ime) to everything else out there (again, for what I want). One of the areas that is very hard t... 
What does one purchase after owning horns?
Macrojack, not how I read it, but fully accepted. Mods and parts upgrades for Klipsch have been available for many, many years now, and there are a great number of proud and happy owners, including myself of course. Other forums are out there with... 
What does one purchase after owning horns?
Macrojack, not taking anything away from the Volti, the Klipsch Khorn, Lascala and Belle are full range horns.......... 
What does one purchase after owning horns?
The Volti speakers use a cabinet design quite similar to the Klipsch Lascala, particularly the doghouse portion(the bass horn). I think they are great alternative to the Lascala II, at not much more money(although I have not heard a pair). But wha...
