RIP: Paul W. Klipsch
I sold Klipsch speakers from 1980 to 1986. Always liked the original "Hersey" speaker, especially the excellent cabinet workmanship. My best memory of Klipsch speakers was wandering into a dealership in Berkeley, California who had his showroom in... 
Infinity Epsilon/ Beta speakers-- Classsics???
First, many thanks to those who responded. In my original post on this thread, I meant to ask about the newer model Sigma(vintage 1997) and how it compared to the Epsilon, or other high end speakers of today. I never was a big fan of Infinity spea... 
Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker?
Ak, did you listen to the Buggstussel Amydagala(?). it is $3995 and the model recently reviewed in Audiophile Voice as offered by another GON member. What is the bass and and soundstaging of these speakers??? Do they sound natural, analytical, or ... 
Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker?

A moment of silence for Henry Kloss....
Henry Kloss's passing is a very sad irony for me. Several months ago, I bought a used pair of the New Advent Loudspeakers (vintage 1980), and have been astounded that this 30+ year old design still provides great music--- there is just a "rightnes...

Opinions on old B&W's
I had a pair of B&W Matrix 3's Series 2 for about 10years. I liked them a great deal, but regreted not spending the extra money for the 802's which has a better midramge driver and tweeter. The series 3 of this model line was supposedly the be... 
"Stacked" Advents hookup
I want to thank all who responded to the "Stacked Advent" post. Yes, they are 8 ohms and I glad to hear they can be wired in parallel. You may have seen some of my earlier posts; I have one pair of the New Advent Loudspeaker, because I am still lo... 
Need some wisdom comparing planars
Tim, Let me just add a few points that I may have overlooked in my first post. I am always cautious of offering advise on the "Gon" because i don't have the technical knowledge of some members. Nevertheless, you mentioned something about finding i...
