How's your music library?
Elizabeth,I emailed you on the side, but maybe it didn't go through. You have quite a vinyl collection there, and I was wondering what TT and cartridge you use? If it's a Garrad TT with a Pickering cartridge? --hay, that's OK. We'll be gentle...lo... 
what is good sound ?
yawn...I rather explain the color of the wind to a blind person...

Elizabeth, what do you use to turn those LPs? :)

what is good sound ?
Unanswerable. Heard that before? I love my rig and think it's better than good, but you may not think so...Our audiophoolish ears just don't appreciate equally....just finished Swann's Way. Much easier to write a treatise on Proust's way than answ... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
IMdb = 8 out of 10?? Man, are they lucy Pauline Kael is dead. She would have had a feast. Then, again, she wouldn't even review it.

That was fast. Howard Paar: so be it!

Nope, the trailor credits indicated Howard Parr music consultant, I believe. But thanks for the info... :)

Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ??
I understand. I was under the misinterpretation (maybe it was another post) that the newest K-horns, still required some serious tweaking. My mistake. warren :) 
Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ??
So you're saying the newest Klipschorns are fine the way they are? No need to tweak, play switheroo with caps? $7k+ brings it home right out of the box? Out of MY box the only tweaks my speakers needed were Audiopoints on the bottom to replace the...

After you do all these upgrades (in this case we're talking K-horn, but others as well. I'm not trying to single out these speakers) are you really left with a K-horn? Do "transformational upgrades" still equal K-horn..etc...Sort of like APL3910/E... 
How to stabilize speakers without spikes.
Two different applications: hockey pucks = decoupling/isolating. spikes = couplingI love the results from coupling and it is much easier to achieve than isolating/decoupling--which is near impossible, especially from airborne resonances. I'd keep ... 
You're favorite CD for breaking in new speakers...
Barry White's Icon of Love. Will move your woofers like no other. Synthesizer bass that shacks the room. Nice recording. Throw a little Gladiator in there and your speakers (depending of course on the brand) will be ready after a couple of hundred...
