Speakers for a 15w 6v6 integrated amp?
15 watts will rock a Klipsch Heresy or Cornwall. For a more detailed sound the Triangles are also good but you'll need a sub. 
room tuning 12ftx12ft room
I'm a small room expert. Sebrof has it right, pull the speakers out into the room to kill the booming bass, just like any room. A foot or two forward will kill the bass. Small rooms usually have problems with bass cancellation, too much bass is ea... 
Best LP since Waters left Pink Floyd?
Get 'em all. 
What does one purchase after owning horns?
If you liked the sound of the Unos. It's going to be hard to find something that is better. Maybe a Klipschorn if you have the right room. The dynamics of a horn is hard to duplicate in a non-horn system. 
Are The Klipsch Heritage Series Really Worthy?
They are what they are, an easy to drive 3 way horn system. The trade off is frequency response and phase shifts. I love mine (H3s) but they are not in my main system. They will however add excitement to older recordings and are plenty good but th... 
Could this be the next Frank Sinatra?
Dwr has it right. 
Avantgarde Uno's Or Klipsch La Scala MKII
I don't have any direct experience but the Klipsch LaScalas are limited on both ends of the spectrum. But the Unos are quite a bit more money. The Unos I heard did not sound like my Klipsch, a totally different type of sound. I would try to listen... 
the greatest pop song ever?

moody blues vs rock hall of fame
03-02-11: Phaelon"The 70s without the Moody Blues? I can’t even imagine that. Hell, it wouldn’t have been the 70s without them." The 60's, if you were tuned in and turned on, man.....the 60s 
So, what DON'T you spend money on?
Wow, this does not sound like the sophisticated playboy image we are all supposed to have does it? Maybe the audio industry is not catering to the right audience. Kinda like selling chainsaws at the opera maybe? Thanx, Russ 
Speakers that sound like Grado headphones?
I have been pursuing the same task for a few years. I liked my Grados enough that I wanted a sound system that had all the good parts (tonal balance) and maybe a bit more resolution. I ended up with Triangle Celius and tube amps in a near-field se... 
Klipsch Heritage Series
I'm not sure I can help. I'm not really sure what your question is but I'll give it a try. I'll address the quality issue first, yes Klipsch Heritage is a quality line and have very good durability. Some systems from the 40s are still in use with ... 
Bass and Treble Dials
The most simple answer is that a good system really doesn't need tone controls.Thanx, Russ 
moody blues vs rock hall of fame
Just for "Days Of Future Passed", that alone is worth their entry. Yes, I'm a fan but DOFP takes me right back to the 60s. 
Infinity RS 2.5 speaker placement
3 feet from the front wall is enough, and about 30 degrees of toe-in. I had my 2.5s for many years in quite a few different rooms, they are not too picky about placement but they are meant to have a little bass reinforcement with the front wall. P...
