| Klipsch La Scala replacement? @erivera1990 Thank-you for that information. Your room is large enough to handle the Maggies you have even though they are the shorter version. Here is a nice report you might enjoy: He compares them to one of the Klipsch models. Giv... | |
| Klipsch La Scala replacement? @erivera1990 Thank-you for your comment. I would need a LOT more information about your hardware, the size of your room, and your listening preferences before making a solid recommendation. When I had my shop back in the Stone Age (1970's-80's)... | |
| Klipsch La Scala replacement? You have a NEW ROOM. Your ROOM is as important as your speakers. Find a dealer in your new town that will let you audition something IN YOUR ROOM before you buy. Klipsch speakers have a very specific sound, which is not at all close to what the... | |
| What's the oddest thing in your music collection? @tooblue No worries...Been there as well. Cheers! | |
| What's the oddest thing in your music collection? I would add Rachel Sweet, too, but she may have been too main-stream for the "odd" designation. @tooblue Your are welcome. I guess. | |

| When were the best tube amps made? D-150 1975. I have heard that the 1995 Ref 600 III was as good. Did I fit your "timeline?" | |
| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. @rettrussell No argument with that one! Have you read her 2 books? She was a product of the times, but boy, she is a VERY accomplished artist with a deep understanding of the ART of SINGING. Hard to say that about many "performers" these days.... | |
| Songs of debauchery and excess Joe Walsh: Life's Been Good | |
| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. Impossible task. I guess Rumors or one of the Beatles albums, but CNSY is very listenable as well. No one is mentioning more current music for this generation; I would guess TS would be on their lists, Better would be picking 12-14 individual s... | |
| Bob Carver tube amps Never heard or sold one of his tube amps. Did sell his early PL 400 and PL 700 amps. They were capable of playing very LOUDly, but most of them failed for various reasons. Typically, the owner would crank them up "all of a sudden" and that would c... | |
| Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track It had many problems, as mentioned above, but try to buy one for the classic car you are restoring and you would think it was a high-end piece from ARC or something. They are VERY difficult to find in ANY condition, much less looking good and act... | |
| What exactly is a speaker box sound? @twoleftears Well, we shant have it! Heresy, indeed! Off with their, uh, feet! @roxy54 Like I posted, everyone has their own opinions. Buy what YOU like. @secretguy Thank-you! Everyone likes to be agreed with. I had the good fortune t... | |
| What exactly is a speaker box sound? @erik_squires I suppose you are right, but his point was asking about box speakers. ALL of them distort the source material. How much is up to HIM to hear. Period. By the way, do you find it interesting that most "high-end" makers of box spe... | |
| What exactly is a speaker box sound? @roxy54 Exactly why I suggested to the OP that he listen to EVERYTHING and buy what HE likes. While we may disagree on what Maggies "add" or "sound like" in a given situation, I, PERSONALLY, have never heard a more accurate reproduction of the ... |
