Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
I bought my Heresys for their efficiency (used with my mighty 12 watt SEP) after a brief audition to see if I could stand the tone of these things…they seemed to sound nice enough in the showroom of the audio joint and although I use horn loaded P... 
Set me straight, don't pull punches
Sorry, but wherever Longmire is shot is Wyoming enough for me, and I actually had a friend with an old Ford truck seat in his apartment, along with a glass topped V8…yee ha! 
Morrow IC's
You do understand that if you've disconnected your Morrows due to an amp upgrade you have to do a re-break in…March…they should be sounding good by March…late February maybe... 
No preamp 'Balance' control?
Moving an inch or so to the left or right doesn’t change my room response as I don’t live in an oil drum. Also, I don’t actually move around from my carefully calculated listening spot as even without a balance control nothing seems out of balance... 
Speaker distance
This thread is sort of funny, when absolutes regarding taste are tossed around like a salad on a sailboat (I just made that up…not bad huh?). However, this did force me to get off my butt and measure where my speakers are…5.5 feet apart (measured ... 
Synergy problem
Klipsch Herresy IIIs are available new for exactly the amount you've budgeted (look around), are relatively compact, and the pair I just bought sound fabulous. Or, I can sell you my Silverline Preludes. 
Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)
Boulder…no clue how they sound but they LOOK full. I'd recommend giving up on SS altogether and get a tube amp…really…you'll thank me later. 
I am trying to contact a Forum member
Or you can park outside their house for days…listen Shirley, it's just not gonna happen. That was one weird night and I'm simply not interested…sorry... 
Once you go 300b it’s hard to go back?
My Inspire Fire Bottle HO (Dennis Had) works with lots of different tubes and that's something I like, and something I don't like is long interconnects that aren't balanced. Also note that long speaker wire through the cellar has advantages…hang a... 
Set me straight, don't pull punches
A note about Wyoming, I've been binge watching "Longmire" and now I know that Wyoming is wracked with weird crime and endless vistas. And cows. Also, I recently bought a relatively inexpensive pair of new Klipsch Heresys that are astonishingly goo... 
No preamp 'Balance' control?
So to sum up, most people CAN'T move a little to the left? Right? No? 
Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1)
When is Bo's audio book, "I Know Things and You Don't" going to be published? I can only hope he doesn't use an editor as his writings contain a certain "gonzo nonsense" charm that should be left exactly as it is. Maybe I'll simply gather up all 2... 
Morrow IC's
I've been a solid core aficionado for years, mostly AQ stuff…I tried a pair of Morrow ICs last year as I thought the "use the same wire in everything but more or less of it depending on how guilty you want to consumer to feel" was interesting and ... 
Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated.......
That sucks man, especially since Yamaha makes decent motorcycles and pianos. 
high-efficiency loudspeakers
I've found that a pair of recently acquired Klipsch Heresy IIIs are much better than I expected (not sure what I expected in my house, but I did force myself to listen to a pair at a dealer before before buying these damn things) and since many ha...
