Satisfaction report on Klipsch
ozzy, I knew what he was saying. I feel you were way out of line, and it does not matter what you think of Klipsch. Just another audiophile / music listener, stating facts about really liking something, but " not quite there yet ". Find a poster h... 
Satisfaction report on Klipsch
Welcome to the 'Gon. The Chorus IIs are, imo, a much more satisfying experience of that " live " sound that some Klipsch models can deliver, over say the 82's and the 7's, as you experienced. I am not sure why the negativity of the 2 above posters... 
Klipsch Heresy IV - not what I was expecting
Raise them off the floor and place them on a good pair of solid stands ( remove the stands from the Heresy IVs ). You can even use some concrete building blocks found at your local Lowes or HD. Mid horn at ear level, no angle. Set up properly, the... 
MoFi - Are You Kidding Me?
I am with the OP here. If this was, in fact, brand new, than a fingerprint, imo, is not acceptable. It is worth mentioning in a thread. 
New Santana Album "Africa Speaks"
geoffkait, hello buddy....if you are suggesting that I not listen to my Rolling Stones, Beatles, Led Zep, Satriani, P.Floyd, Santana, Billy Joel, Journey, and so much more, because of a lack of dynamics, I can tell you, I would have very little to... 
New Santana Album "Africa Speaks"
I am into dynamic range as much as the next person, likely more so. However, it is unfortunate, that many listeners who spend a considerable amount of money on audio gear ( my definition of an audiophile ), listen to recordings, putting the musica... 
All the brands I don't like...
 erik, you have many followers here on the "Gon. On a rare occasion, you come up with an interesting topic, but generally, not ( imo ). Yes, I read your posts, but, I am not one of those followers I speak of. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents?
I was very young when I was introduced to the world of audio equipment, and, the fascinating world, of the reproduction of recorded music. Listened to, and used, more often than my dad, his system, which included AR3a speakers. I soon acquired my ... 
Anybody know what happened at JOB...
Check out the web sites of some of the top, most popular brands, as some give you options of ac plug termination. Once you find one, two, or a few, read the reviews and opinions of the cord owners, as you might get a sense of what they like / what... 
The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic
A live recording, such as Harry Belafonte, Live at Carnegie Hall ( a fave of mine ), creates an " I am there " experience, placing me very close to the stage. Another fave, ( of which I was present on one of those nights ), is The Allman Bros. Liv... 
Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers
Aren't the Tad CR1s over 100 lbs, with the stands adding more weight ? Not easy to move, and certainly, she was out of line. Balancing super tweeters on top of them would also be tricky, as the tops are not a flat surface. The closest I ever got t... 
Anyone have this kind of problem with their amp?
I did mention the possibility of a bad solder joint, hours before others, just as an fyi. I do read all the posts in a thread, to get an idea of what has been mentioned. I do not need any credit, however, I am just saying.......and, to throw the p... 
Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them?
@tomic601 , Happy Valentines Day to you too, sir ! LOL. We all have a story, so I hope my story is interesting, and not too long, so, I apologize. I have stated in many posts, that personal taste, is what this hobby is all about. The arguments bet... 
Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them?
Every speaker, to some extent, makes some trade offs, and, at all price points, imo. The thing is, as a listener, we need to determine, what musical parameters of recorded music, are most desirable to each of us. And as explained above, the speake... 
Musical Concepts amplifier modifications upgrades
Not ICE, but IEC, the power cord inlet. And yes, wonderful work from him.
