| Is this Klipsch upgrade worth it? From what I read people like the Forte very much, I don't think it would be a big upgrade. LaScala would take you up a giant step. | |
| Crossovers I used this one. 223xs | dbx Professional Audio | |
| Crossovers Don't laugh but I use a DBX crossover and I can't hear any issues with it. It's cheap because it's mass produced but it's pro level stuff. | |
| Preamp Opinion Add some tubes, your system needs a push in that direction. Try the Rogue RP-1. Other choice might be a used Conrad Johnson. | |
| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? The album rock years of KNAC Long Beach. | |

| The Magnepan line, now and from the past. I am looking for owners experience. I have experience with MMGs, .7s, 1.6, and 3.6. I sort of think my MMGs sound better than my .7s. The .7s have more detail but just are not as musical. Stereophile thinks the .7s are class C and the LRS are class B. They might be right. | |

| Can You Hear Me Now Years ago, I had a pretty good ear. I would not want to be tested for frequency response or repeatability because other factors might influence my results. I'm not a lab animal but on a good day my hearing was very discriminating. | |
| New Klipsch Jubilee, with active crossover. "...I have to wonder if a 3 way would not have been better..."The whole idea of the Jubilee is to make it a two way system where the top driver goes low enough to blend with the woofer section. It removes the crossover in the critical voice freque... | |
| New Klipsch Jubilee, with active crossover. "...The 7” compressive (if I heard that right) driver is an interesting design element..."Compression driver. It means the horn has a throat that is smaller than the driver element and the air helps load the driver element keeping distortion low i... | |
| New Klipsch Jubilee, with active crossover. Lots more to this than what's in the video. I was active on the Klipsch forum when the first Jubilees were being ordered. Many changes since then. I would sure like to read a professional review. | |
| Recommendations for Speakers that can be used close to the rear wall. Almost all speakers today sound best when pulled out from the wall. You are going to have a big sonic adjustment going from 1.6s Maggies to a box speaker pushed up against the wall. With that in mind, you might look at OHM loudspeakers. | |
| A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do? If I was a lawyer, the first question I would ask is how much did you lend him and follow that up with how much do you think his records are worth. Not asking for the numbers to get a total but asking to determine how much liability am I exposing ... | |
| A pitch too High! "...There is just no way that a phono cartridge should require a VTF that far in excess of its manufacturer’s recommendation..."Depends if your table can track low numbers. Often there is some marketing games because people think a low tracking fo... |
