Suggestions for higher efficiency speakers
Lol.  Thanks Larry, but way out of my league!  This happens quite often with posts I read.  I know, best intentions....  Admittedly, I need to beef up on my Klipsch auditioning with low power tubes.  I will look into the Tekton Perfect SET.  Thank... 
Suggestions for higher efficiency speakers
Thanks for the great replies.  I've heard a few Klipsch models over the years, never interested me enough to even get the names. One was the big Cornwalls though. Impressive but wasn't my cup of tea. Granted, I have not heard any of their newer ce...

Thanks again Tim for your detailed responses.  Would love to check out the Swarm someday.  If anyone in the Chicago area has it I'd be happy for an invite.  ;-)Phusis, I am exploring DIY speakers and will probably be doing a standmount design of s...

Whats on your turntable tonight?
Yep, Priest 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
OK so part TT.  First Wilson remix Aqualung.  Interesting that most of the album sounds great, but occasional sibilance and one song (forget which) outright harsh sounding.  The recording or my TT?Now Chick Corea Elektrik Band Paint the World.  Ma...

Should have known to provide more info!  Noble, the rig I am using right now is the Schiit Saga (tube/passive) with the McCormack.  Sounds great but I know the tubes will be calling me back eventually.  2 channel only.  Budget really is $1k but co... 
Time to get up to speed (somewhat) with digital.
Yes, two USB out.  Also has a Thunderbolt port.  It's an older computer.  I will take a look at the RME.Thanks 
Bookshelf Bake Off
So I don't have a ton of experience with monitors but in reading that you are located in Georgia it reminded me of one of my favorite speakers from this years Chicago Axpona show - the LSA-10 Statement.  These are made on the east coast (hence the...
