Skeptic or just plain hard headed
What if I told you power cables make tremendous differences in sq, and require burn in / break in time. All products require it. Lots of articles / threads about that. Enjoy ! MrD. 
KLIPSCH Heritage speakers .
I am the ONE. The Forte was never an " original " Heritage model. The 5 original Heritage models : Klipschorn, Belle, Lascala, Cornwall and Heresy were the originals, and these 5 were designed by PWK. The Forte was marketed later as a Heritage mod... 
Got a pair of JBL 240Ti - mint condition, very nice.
Tell the wife to get over it, as they bring you much enjoyment. She married you for better, or worse. Show here pictures and photos of other speakers ( this is a great site to show her ). She would probably want small bookshelf speakers or very sl... 
Klipsch Heritage vs Zu audio
Khorns, updated and tweaked, in excellent corners, of an excellent room ( inclusive of the listening chair) , with excellent and proper associated equipment, will sound absolutely excellent, and imo, and ime, are hard to beat, with all kinds of mu...

" I happened upon them accidently ". I would love to hear the story. What about them does the wife hate ? Looks ( w/o grills ), sound, size. Are they better than what you have now ? Enjoy ! MrD. 
New Klipsch Cornwalls anybody hear them?
A match made in heaven, but would recommend listening to them first. Enjoy! MrD. 
Passive preamp to a power amp?
The Saga has a much better volume control design over the Sys. FWIW, in my opinion, a very audible improvement. Worth the $ difference if you want to extract more detail and information out of the system ( this is assuming going passive works for ...

prof, glad it worked out.....Enjoy ! MrD. 
I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why.
prof, yes, I should have worded it differently ( which I corrected later in the thread, as pointed out by Doug S. ). Although I have measured my room with a RS meter / test tone discs, I cannot claim my room is ruler flat, but it is excellent, spe... 
New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet?
I lived with Extremas ( with Kef B 139 ) for a year ( on loan to me from a friend ). Mated them with a modified Crown Studio Reference I owned. " Awesome " is all I can say. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
About 10 days ago I received my 3 power cords, and I must say, they are very good. I believe the company that makes them is called Viborg Audio. Mark and Lynn were quite grateful, for my business and my patience. The correspondence between them an... 
Nuforce STA200
Jetter, I believe you are speaking of the magnet ( ferrite choke ). Look up " what are the bumps at the end of computer cables ", as you will get your answer. These are sold everywhere, and have been for ages, in different sizes, by many manufactu... 
Nuforce STA200
The amp takes well to an upgraded power cord. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Which SR Blue or black Fuse
Fuses, fuse holders and the additional wiring ( or circuit board traces ), impair the sq, but, for the protection of the piece of equipment, it is there. One comment I always appreciated was by Bill Lowe of AQ.    " To Due Less Harm ". Better fuse... 
A Short History of two favorite words....
I am a tweaker and will try anything, and, have tried many many things. Snake oil and I are pretty close. Enjoy! MrD.
