| Klipsch, introduces The Cornwall IV, and I think it will be a killer ! The 1st 2 sentences of jsautter’s post above, makes sense. However, speakers, like ice cream flavors, are very personal. As much as I have spoken highly about Klipsch ( horns in general ), I have been honest, at least, in saying, they are not for ... | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Imabucfan, obviously, you have gotten several relies ( replies, lol ), and please keep in mind, suggestions and recommendations, are generally made, based on what people like, for themselves. A thread that is in it's 3rd day, is not an old thread ... | |
| Anyone done A / B listening to compare vintage stereo receivers with today’s Amps/Preamps? These older receivers incorporate so much wire, switches, and cram things up against one another. Some are beautiful to look at, and actually sound ok. But, that is all. The prices they are going for, is ridiculous, imo. YMMV...... | |
| Nuforce STA200 A couple hundred hours for break in. Leave it on, continuously, with music playing through it, if possible. The question of vertical bi-amp....I feel it is significant, but this goes with many dual amps I have had experience with. As far as a purc... | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV I have mentioned before, on other threads, that Klipsch has made the Heresy design, in pro models, for years, and all have been ported. This is nothing new for them. I believe the IV is a big upgrade, over the III. | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Imabucfan, welcome to the ’Gon. I am about a 2 hour drive from you. You can read some of my posts. If you have interest, we can exchange phone numbers, and set up a time for you to come listen to my system, with you music selections ( my system is... | |
| Apollon AS1200 ICEPOWER class D amp in da house FYI, georgehifi, makes negative comments about many things, including horn speakers, and amplifiers with mosfet output stages, two things I enjoy. I still like the guy, and cannot imagine these threads without him. | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised RIAA, would I to assume, you are billion$baby ? I have been doing these mods for years on Klipsch, and it is good to see, someone other than the typical Klipsch guys doing it, and taking the crossover to another level. In fact, I have been enjoyin... | |
| Carver ZR-1600 amplifier To answer your question, although a bit late..........YES, adapters are common in use. Enjoy ! | |
| Amp, One Set of Speaker Connections Or Two? Bi = Two ....Speaker switching, A and B, has been explained, above. It has all been explained above, with consistency and, with some simplicity. Obviously, someone here does not feel biamping is all that, and I, feel it is. Other than that......so... | |
| Amp, One Set of Speaker Connections Or Two? Millercarbon, and everyone here, Happy New Year. Miller, as always, you are very opinionated, and I disagree with you on this particular subject. I encourage, vertical, passive biamping, to many of my clients, and not once have they though of goin... | |
| What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why? Did not own them, but I spent some time in a studio, a friend of mine co-owned, and in their large sound room, was a pair of Augspurger Design studio monitors that were, well, fun ! I would, exchange my Lascalas for a pair of those. I remember the... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? Why was this thread not started in the " CABLES " section ? Lots of posts in 10 days here about such a significant, audible improvement to be had, by doing this. I find, isolating all of my cables, mechanically away from floors and walls, and eli... | |
| Quad ESL service, Electrostatic Solutions or Quads Unlimited ? Two buddies of mine living in the NY area, and both who happen to own "63s, used Sheldon Stokes to work on their speakers. They both cannot say enough about the positive experiences they both had. Just an fyi.....A Happy and healthy holiday to all. | |
| SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier Not to change directions on the subject of the Coda preamp, or intend to put it down in any way, as I have not heard it, but I own a Luminous Audio passive, top of the line, single ended unit. I prefer it, in my system, to any active line stage I ... |
