mm1tt77 Thanks for the info. I have heard Klipsch Chorus 2's with a tube Mac set up and loved it. I will try and get somewhere to check out the Sonus Faber in person.

bbillings Ok,I have not heard of MOFI,I will have to check out the Sourcepoint 888. I totally agree on the balance of treble and the punch of the mids. Speaking on the treble brightness,that is one thing I love on those old JBL Jubal’s.They had...

I really appreciate all the feedback I’am getting. I have been resisting going to the city to look at speakers. I drove through and around Chicago a my whole life and have just become a homebody since retiring in 2023. I may pick one place that...

rmdmoore I have in fact been checking those out,there is a guy on YouTube with quite a few video’s of his 3a sig’s.they sound pretty good. Some commenter’s said they lean more towards polite and favor classical and jazz so that kind of made me t...

soix Yes,I was looking at ATC as someone else mentioned them.The only speakers I saw under 5000 were 2 way book shelf's.,or did I miss some? As far as amps,I just picked up the Mac mx110 tuner/preamp so I will be using that for now.

100boardwalk Thanks, How do you feel about the Mac 7270. I know someone nearby that has one he bought from Audio Classics,and has the paperwork showing the checklist from 3 years ago. He is asking 2850 what do you think?

soix Yes,I know the speakers I like are not very similar,but they all sounded good to me. I have had the same system for 25 years so I guess I don’t really know what I want more or less off. I’am pretty sure if I could find a Sonus Faber that c...

  paradisecom I would probably love the cornwalls,I’am not sure how they would fit in my space. The end of the room where I would be placing them is 13 ft wide. I might check them out,as I know a lot of Klipsch folks think they are the happy  ...

fthompson251 Thanks,I have not seen this before. I will have to read up on them.  
Picking a power amp
stereo5 Yes,I know but which one. With the Klipsch I was thinking 225 as that is supposed to be the sweetest,and it should work with the high sensitivity of the Klipsch. I know JBL isn't highly regarded  here,but I have a great memory of hear...

joeycastillo Thanks,I will look into the Passlab,I think they might be out of my budget. In my mind I'am thinking I should go with a solid state amp to help get some clarity with the Mac tube preamp.I will have to study on that.
