Question about Morrow ICs?
I went for an MA1 special because for the price I figured what do I have to lose. I followed the proper burn in and they now have several hundred hours on them. They are between my dac and preamp. PRAT (pace,rhythm,attack,timing) are all as good o... 
Best U.S.A. speakers?
Klipsch Corner Horn and Lascala are still wonderful at there pricing,imho. 
Why not horns?
JohnK. Thank you for your input. What we needed here on this thread are some horn lovers. So again, thanks. MrDb. 
Why not horns?
The three top Klipsch Heritage models are wonderful. The Klipshorn, Lascala and Belle all deserve to be listened to. The midrange horn throats are properly designed and do not give you that "honk" sound that you might get from Altecs(at a reasonab... 
Why not horns?
Mapman, I never put my 2 cents in on that thread, but the Heresy gives one a "small" taste of what a horn is all about. One will try something different when a system no longer does for them what they want it to do. Enjoy... 
Why not horns?
Mapman. The important thing is that you are enjoying it. 
Why not horns?
Macrojack....Mr Decibel here. On a review here on Audiogon of the Ohm Walsh 2000 speakers, the reviewer states " Horns, in particular, along with drum kits and guitars(both electric and acoustic)have an uncanny natural quality that comes extremely... 
Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick?
The " original " Monster Cable might or might not have been time aligned (this was about 30 years ago) and I truly cannot remember. But the dealer networks (I was at one at the time) were sent this little Monster box display (it was clear to see t... 
Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick?
Nsgarch, Bruce Brisson might have designed the speaker wire design as well, but it was Noel Lee, as the head of Monster, with his "speaker wire", that started the whole thing. The speaker wire was his 1st product. Lee was a marketing genius, not j... 
Best tracks to "show off" your system
S.R.V.'s Tin Pan Alley.... 
Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick?
Nsgarch. Point is well taken. However, it was Noel Lee and the 12 gauge speaker wire which started the whole wire thing and put Monster on the map. Interconnects came afterwards. 
What is the standard for judging a systems sound?
As I mentioned previously on another thread, a system must be able to convey Rhythm, beat and tempo. This is the ability to follow each and every musician, solo and as a whole(Thank you Ivor). System tonality, spatial perspective, dynamics, noise ... 
best recordings for a sense of scale
If I am to understand this thread, we are to recommend a recording which can show off your system. I recommend : Flim & the BB's "This is a Recording". I would say beyond the music being excellent, this has it all. 
Klipsch LaScallas vs Klipsch Cornwalls?
It is interesting and refreshing to here someone (other than myself) talk about a speaker that has speed, dynamic prowess, resolution and scale. These are all attributes of live music. I also put emphasis on rhythm, beat and tempo, (similar to spe... 
Klipsch LaScallas vs Klipsch Cornwalls?
A 15 x 22 room would be fine for Lascalas or Cornwalls(from lots of experience). If an image cannot be created some placement trial and error (both speakers and listening seat), room treatment, and associated equipment would help. As far as a 14 x...
