Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping
Well then enjoy the fire and hope snake oil is a good extinguishing agent. Remember snake oil often had alcohol or cocaine as the main ingredient. Pretty sure that crap worked.  
Has anyone here done the Heresy II upgrade kit?
Get a Crites crossover the best upgrade, people say it is a huge change for the better.   
Currently running B&W804 D 3s with Rogue Audio Pharoah
Move on to separates and a beefy amp, that is the next step.   
Cary slp 98p upgrade
 things to upgrade inside bringing it to yet another level.  I have no doubt and I'm keeping my SLP98 forever but since I'm listening with one ear now, I'm good with what I have. It's kind of a bummer but the things a good preamp do are a bit l...

i want to make sure your confidence in the 1.7 to 3.7 upgrade applies to the current ’i’ models. Sorry I can’t say that because even though I have the current .7s I have not heard the 1.7i or 3.7i. But the 3.7s have the real ribbon tweeter and ... 
Cary slp 98p upgrade
old Upscale F1 upgrade from a decade ago.  Thanks for making me feel old....LOL. I guess I won't talk about my Infinity RS1Bs anymore...  
Jadis Branded KT88's (manufacturer?)

Fascinated By GR Research Channel
I never met another engineer that didn't think he/she could do something better. But improving a fixed design is easier than starting a design from scratch. Look at the Klipsch Heresy. They made a bazillion of them but just came out with major red...

Pick the one you like but sonically not that big of a difference. Turning the loudspeaker 1/4 inch makes a bigger change. The biggest improvement they make is on the smaller panels that get the tweeter level up a little higher. On the big panels (... 
The worst sentence in audio writing
In order to make gear which has details never before heard the gear must exaggerate some sounds to the detriment of others. Not always. Listen to a big pair of Magnepans. Each move up the model line results in more and more detail being reveale... 
Cary slp 98p upgrade
I had two thoughts. Let Cary do the upgrade and while it's there have it upgraded to F1 specs.   
System Changes, Better or Just Different?
Time to upgrade to 3.7i. When you make a change make it a big one. 3.7i is a big step up (or maybe ET LFT-8Bs).   
Question about sound stage
When you say on the right does that mean hard over to the right or just slightly more prominent? The reason I say this is because I always had a slight leaning to the right on all the systems I've owned (until I went deaf in that ear). Work on mov...
