When I listen to my system.......
So, I suppose @inagroove , that what you are spending all of your money on with equipment / gear / room acoustics is to reproduce something (music) that is fake? Why not just have a boom box, which btw, many musicians in some instances use to play... 
Oh my goodness!
To the OP, welcome, and do not let one or two of these posters dissuade you from posting here. Nice story, and a meaningful life lived, so far. If you are happy with your system, more power to you. Many posters here are not happy with their system... 
Klipsch La Scala or Altec 838 speakers
Congrats. Personally, I would not change anything at this time, just enjoy them. Get them situated in your listening room relative to your listening seat....dial them in. My 1st thing to do would be to buy Dynamat and tame the ringing of the mid h... 
When I listen to my system.......
@inagroove I regularly listen to mediocre recordings with excellent musicianship and composition, so I am not quite sure what you mean, other than to guess, you might be the type of audiophile who listens differently than I do. As long as you are ... 
When I listen to my system.......
Great comments above. I was not stating my way of listening was the best or right way of listening, although for me, it certainly is. I gave up my career as an audio consultant a bit earlier than I had anticipated, because many customers were more...

The Medical Explanation Of Why You Are Addicted To HiFi Audio
The message I am receiving from some of the posters is this: "I can only enjoy music when listening to it on my main system". I find this very sad, and I also know too many who do not really care about the music, but "love the sound". As I said ab... 
The Medical Explanation Of Why You Are Addicted To HiFi Audio
@mitch4t when I am listening in my car while driving, I am still very enriched in the music. Yes, my home system gets me closer to it all, but it is the music 1st for me, every time. Enjoy! MrD.

Klipsch La Scala or Altec 838 speakers
Funny how we all differ. The Lascala has been my favorite Heritage for years. However, I would like to point out, there are several simple and inexpensive mods/upgrades as mentioned above to be made to the Lascala that can make them smoother and c...

I am partial to the Lascala. What kind of sonic "presentation" are you wishing for? How is your room set up? What types of music do you favor? I know you have owned Klipsch before. I am here to help. Always, MrD.  
An interesting Miles Davis article..
Miles Davis was, and still is, legendary.  
Another Matteo Mancuso rant
@simonmoon I agree as there are many fine guitarists, such as those that you mention, as well as many from our past. Many of my contacts in this industry are musicians, many are guitar players (I am not, I was a vocalist), as we all feel Mancuso i... 
Is Recording quality the real culprit?
@fleschler , I have followed your journey and congratulate you on your room design and construction. A dream come true for sure! Continued listening enjoyment to you. My best, MrD.   
Is Recording quality the real culprit?
Great "sounding" recordings are great, but imo and ime poor sounding recordings are great too, as my primary interest in listening are the performances and the compositions. These are the reasons I listen to music to begin with. Why obtain a great...
