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?
Strawberry Fields/BeatlesHurdy Gurdy Man/DonovanMy two favorites. 
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... 
Novice seeks help with hooking up components...
CD out to pre in. Pre out to amp in. 
Opinion of Klipsch speakers
I have the RF-25s in my 3rd system and I have matched them with some very good tube electronics. In their price range they are very good. Much better than you might expect. Good on voices and instruments, have good bass and they are enjoyable to l... 
Have you been Shpongleized?
I am now! It's kind of Mannheim Steamroller meets Tangerine Dream meets some Eastern trace music. I'm not sure I'm a fan yet but it's worth a listen. I'm only on my first trip through.Thanx, Russ 
Speaker Damage/Amp Power/Volume
This is pretty simple, you are playing too loud. 250 watts sounds like a lot of power but it's not, it's only 3db more than 125 watts. An in-wall speaker is limited by it's design, it's not meant to rock the house down. There is a reason that ther... 
Why did I get married?
This is not looking good.......... 
Name your lame duck artist........
Kenny G. is a popular guy to knock just like like Barry Manilow but his album "Classics in the Key of G" is an excellent album, audiophile quality and very well done. I don't have a comment on any of his other stuff but this one is really worth a ...
