What's your favorite lyric from a song?
"If you look at your reflection at the bottom of the well What you see is only on the surface When you try to see the meaning, hidden underneath The measure of the depth can be deceiving The bottom has a rocky reputation" -The Confessor (Joe Walsh)  
Best music in 2022
Unlimited Love by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Every element that makes them unique is in the album but their maturation is so obvious. 17 tracks and there isn't one I want to skip over.

McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
Music lovers can achieve nirvana at any budget with any gear, as long as they know what they want and use a holistic approach when building a system. Well said @arafiq     
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
I hadn't looked at the Audiogon forums for many months(because it's typically an exercise of self flagellation)  but had a specific question and stumbled across this thread. I'm in a unique situation to both live about 10 minutes from Mike Powell ... 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
It's been a week since upgrading the crossovers. I wanted everything to settle and get enough run in to put my thoughts in print. Let me get this out of the way first: I'm actually disappointed in Klipsch. If they would offer a Cornwall with Dynam... 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
Wanted to thank @donsachs and @jbhiller for the guidance and encouragement on the crossover upgrade. While not my first time soldering I would still consider myself a "beginner" with circuit board work. Honestly the project is not difficult and re...

I'm in Atlanta if you are in southern NC. You're welcome to have a listenDavid 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
I couldn't agree more with Ozzy62. I had very similar feelings about the Cornwalls. Really honing placement made a significant improvement (Mine cross about 12 inches in front of me) but moving from all solid state  to a great tube amp made an ENO... 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
Why not buy Spatial audio x3 orX5 that is their latest much more refined models with built in powered Bass. I have owned both the X3 and the Cornwall IV(current). They are very different speakers (both excellent) but I wouldn’t dismiss the Cornwa... 
A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV
I agree the Cornwalls have been more illuminating of component changes and positioning than any speaker I’ve owned. It’s hard to make them sound “bad” as they pair nicely with almost any amp you put on them. But their capabilities have far exceede... 
To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...
I cam from Vandersteen Quatro CT's and although 1/4 the price, I'm happier. They have a "live" sense that is absolutely AWOL on most speakers, regardless of price. I have tried  tinned copper cables (Duelund) because Paul Klipsch used them but for... 
Aurender and Tidal hanging up
I’m experiencing the same issues. I had zero issues for more than a year with my N100 but nothing in the chain has changed... I hope someone finds the gremlin soon. Quite frustrating. 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
As a former 2170 owner and now owning a 3400, I can say after owning it for a month both sonically and feature wise, it is a step forward. You still get the great midrange tone but with improved control of the bottom end (if your speakers are hard... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
I’m using the Vandersteen Treo CT’s. I don’t want to make any premature comments on sonics until everything has 2-3 weeks of burn in and settle time but will do it for sure. David
