Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what?
I'm still thinking that speaker break in is definitely a problem. I worked in the audio/video industry for over 25 years and have experienced speaker break in with many brands, Klipsch being one of them. Most will say 200 hours for break in and th... 
Question for cable/wire naysayers.....
"As much as I appreciate the OP's approach, this will end up like stirring the pot in the opposite direction: the end result will be the same."Or maybe like opening a can of worms from the bottom.

Brooklynluke, what are you using for a source, turntable, CD, streaming to a dac? 
Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what?
"Right now the speakers are positioned about a foot away from the couch on each side — that is, ten feet apart — and back about six inches from the front of the couch, and toed in significantly, so I can see down the horns from my listening chair,... 
Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what?
Atmasphere, please correct me if I am wrong. There is a couch in between the speakers. If he pushes the speakers closer to the wall, that means more of the couch is in front of the speaker. Will that not mess with the imaging? I was suggesting to ... 
Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what?
You don't need stands to decouple from the floor. Just put a cone shaped spike under each corner of the riser.Also, the book idea will not decouple from the floor. 
Underspent on speakers relative to overall system?
Guess I'm curious as to why you are asking the question? Are you not extremely happy with the sound or are you somewhat underwhelmed? 
Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what?
"Oh, and as for break-in, I'm at maybe 100 hours? That seems like it should be enough to get a sense of where things are headed no?"No. The Heritage Series of Klipsch needs a lot of time to break in. I'm thinking 200 hours is not nearly enough, an... 
Craigslist transaction went south...
Looks like we need Judge Judy.Actually, I think this transaction falls into the same scenario as buying a used car. Sold "as is" with no warranty, unless you told him you were providing a warranty. As long as you knew it was working properly, you ... 
Ugly vs Gogeous speakers
I'm thinking this could compare to another activity that we enjoy. If the room is extremely dark, looks just may not matter, however in a room with light, gogeous, at least in our eyes, becomes more important. 
Looking at new amp for Totem Mani-2 signature
Firstly, I wouldn’t get caught up in comparing specs as that will likely lead to a bad decision. The MF and CJ are both more than adequate to drive your speakers, however will likely sound a little different. I am very puzzled by your comment as t... 
Amp suggestions Klipsch Quartets
I would probably be inclined to try the Decware Zen Triode or possibly the Jolida FX10. 
center channel speakers - Martin Logan vs Definitive Technology?
The center channel should match the L&R. If the matching center channel to your L&R is too large, you should at least use something from the same company. 
Newbie - Replacing front speakers & going 5.0! Advice needed :)
Dan, your current Yamaha receiver is limited in it's capability. Even though possible, it's not really a good idea to add an amplifier and it alone, is just not powerful enough for some speakers without the risk of damage, as auxinput pointed out.... 
Newbie - Replacing front speakers & going 5.0! Advice needed :)
dan89 I suggest you look at specifications on Monitor Audio's website, mainly the "Recommend Amplifier Requirements" for those different models. The Bronze 2 is 30-100, however the Silver 500 is 80-250. I'm sure that Yamaha receiver works fine wit...
