What does one purchase after owning horns?
Larry, if I am correct, the deluding ourselves remark was made as a generalization about all of us, not just the horn lovers, correct ? That is how I read it. Again, thank you for your words. MrD

Larry, very well said, although I have said it before and others before me. Find what your priorities and preferences are, and go from there. Thanks, Mrd 
Which speaker has the biggest sound stage?
Lrsky , saying Elizabeth was "WRONG" was quite a strong statement. It might have been better just to say : in my 15 years experience this was never the case. And of course a second person had this experience. I enjoy reading your posts. 
System versus live
Hi all and thanks for the responses. I thought it would be a fun topic and I understand it might have been mentioned here before. There is no question that concerts that use amplification are somewhat easy to duplicate, or even exceed in quality, ... 
Are The Klipsch Heritage Series Really Worthy?
I agree with John K that certain upgrades for the Heritage series are to minimize and / or eliminate problems in the basic design, not in the repair of a broken product. It is my opinion that most audio products out there can be approved upon, eve...

My Lascala's have been with me longer than any other speakers and / or gear for my main listening room. Other things have come and gone, but they have proven the test of time, and, enjoyment. 
Best of luck to Brian Kyle of Xtreme Cables

For all you Clapton fans....
Marakanetz, I am the one who mentioned it 1st. Duh ? It is all good. And yes, there is a Mrs., so you will not be playing for me. Sorry. LOL 
Mapleshade tweaks
Zman, I have been away from this thread for a few days. I am not bothered in the least by what Rccc said. I want to make it clear that in this game of audio, our ears are the most important tools to make judgements and develop opinions. Facts have... 
For all you Clapton fans....
Marakanetz, I was not attacking you. I did feel you were a bit critical of EC for not being "virtuoso". However, you did change the direction of this thread......If you really sound like EC, can I be one of your girls and be played and sung to. LO... 
What does one purchase after owning horns?
Paulfolbrect, I was referring to the width/length of the horn/throat. I admit that the construction can be better. When you had the Khorns/Lascalas did you do any damping to the mid horn (and cabinets). Every pair I was ever involved with, after d... 
Are The Klipsch Heritage Series Really Worthy?
Macdadtexas, you speak the truth ! If I had the luxury to build a room around Khorns, and to "get them and the room right",I definitely would. This is a reason for the popularity of the Lascala. Most Lascala owners would own Khorns otherwise, ime....

Shadorne, Klipsch uses the "non aggressive" horn type you mention. However, because of the horn type AG uses, I find the seated distance between them and the listener needs to be greater,ime. However I have "heard" this rule be broken in many case... 
For all you Clapton fans....
Marakanetz, you brought up the term virtuoso. One does not need to be virtuoso to be enjoyed, as everyone on this thread is indicating. EC blues, I mean rocks ! 
What does one purchase after owning horns?
Just an add on. I have always placed dynamic range as the most important virtue of any system. However, prat is very very close in importance to me . I need to follow the "playing" of the musicians. There is tonal coherence and agility coherence. ...
