Recapturing the JBL L100 Century
I love the l100s 
Best sounding Hybrid Integrated in $2000 range

Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug?
My dads system was my gateway drug. He purchased it from the px while stationed in Germany in the early 1970s - jbl century l100s and a Yamaha cr 800 amp. It wasn't completely hi fi, but it was much better than the average home system. I recall th... 
Speakers that do pianos really well
I was very surprised to find my tekton lore s speakers reproduce solo piano and jazz combos very well. I heard they were a live rock speaker, with a forward sound, but I find the balance, tone and timbers actually favor jazz trios and solo classic... 
Best Jazz pianist
I second bud Powell. I also really enjoy Marcus Roberts and Cyrus chestnut. One surprise - Harry connick jr can really play. Try some of his albums where he doesn't sing. 
Speaker for modern/alt rock music
My tekton lore s are good with paramore. The regular lore may be even better. 
Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam ,
I just ordered wire world equinox 6 to try to improve the low end. It's in a much lower price bracket than the ones mentioned. Ill post the results. 
speaker spikes versus better bass on Lore
I'm having a similar problem with my lore a speakers - very little bass. 
Small integrateds: red wine, bel canto or wyred?

Floor standing speakers under $1500.00
I second the tekton lore s or lore. great speaker for a large room 
What is your take on Mapleshade products
I am looking at both the double helix speaker cables and the strange looking interconnects. For the speaker cables, it seems they are bare wire only - no bannas or spades? I was wondering how they compare to dmn and anti cables. I am looking for s... 
Tekton Lore-S
I just bought the signature 15 but we had a problem with the charger so a new charger is in the mail now. I had a great six hours with the battery and really liked it, it certainly had plenty of power for the tektons, lots of bass, nice mid detail... 
Tekton Lore-S
They are fantastic. Definitely give them a good break in period. I honestly didnt like them out of the box. After a few months i love them. I enjoy the clarity, the punch with bass and drums, and you can really hear alternative type guitar riffs i... 
Small integrateds: red wine, bel canto or wyred?
Thanks everyone I'm going to get the red wine 15. I think it would be a good match for the lore. 
Small integrateds: red wine, bel canto or wyred?
Thank you. I will look into all of these. The red wine seems to have too many unsatisfied users - if you read carefully power seems to be an issue, bass definition and lack of life. The batteries supposively last for a long time, but every posting...
