Fleetwood Sound Company
Would be more interested to hear from @metaldetektor .  Since he/she did not provide any positive opinion, I would assume they did not like the speakers.  If I had to additionally guess from the comments about listening carefully, perhaps because ... 
New Fleetwood DeVille SQ
@johnk, can you elaborate? Thanks.  
Acoustic Signature turntables
@rsf507 , I demoed two tables (Kuzma Stabi R and Acoustic Signature Tornado).  Quite hard to say anything relevant about the demos as I was completely unfamiliar  with both systems.  I did not hear any “red flags”.  Surface build quality on both t... 
kyocera Receiver R 861
Bias could be off.  Check to see if the amp is biased correctly per the service manual or have someone check it.  
Luxman 595ASE
Thanks!  
Acoustic Signature turntables
@mijostyn , thanks for your comments Multiple motors are indeed a major concern with the AS tables although possibly better for bearing life as the pull on the bearing is minimized. For magnetic bearings, do they have any possibility of changing... 
Acoustic Signature turntables
Thank you all for your comments.   @rsf507 , I finally saw two Acoustic Signature models today and listened to a system with one playing.  Quite interesting to see in person.  Beautiful, impressive tables.  Lots to like. @lewm , thought you woul... 
Acoustic Signature turntables
Thanks for the comments everyone! I do have a chance to listen Acoustic Signature and will be doing this tomorrow (either Hurricane or Tornado). Always a leap of faith, though as the tables are in a different system than mine. That is why I am fo... 
Luxman 595ASE
Luxmancl38, may I ask which dealer?  As I am in New England and interested in this amp…  
The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming.
Rman9, good luck.  Hope you like the 595 and would be interested to hear what you think?  
The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming.
Rman9, yes the Luxman class A integrateds move into AB beyond their rated class A power.  Such is why they can be used with power hungry speakers.  Even the non class A amps (509, for example) are class A up to a certain point.  The 509 is class A... 
Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers
If you really want them, don’t give up.  Sell the Klipsch on your own and remove from the equation.  You will save money and reduce a complication for the dealer.  Verdantaudio’s post is right on point. However, do agree that many dealers are clu... 
New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts
Fsmithjack, Not being there and hearing your set up, my comments are obviously speculation.  I say misguided precisely because of the break-in.  Apheta 2 definitely takes > 50 hours and is also very sensitive to VTF.  Sounds dynamic early on bu... 
New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts
You didn’t let the Apheta 2 break in.  Takes a fair amount of time.  Having experience with Rega and other brands and also high end streaming, I think your conclusion is misguided.  
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Fleib, how would you know I have a better test record?  Maybe mine is worse?  Many components to sound and I didn't comment on this.  In retrospect, it's still very hard in some cases to determine from graphs what are better results and I cannot a...
