What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker?
Great thread.   I'm still looking for a the right metal speaker.   Just wanted to chime in that I posted/lurked here many years ago and read lots of suggestions for Klipsch Heritage.   My current Dali speakers are great,  ive kept them for 10 year... 
Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks
Hi, it sounds like you already made a choice but I wanted to chime in on the Dali Royal Tower you asked about.   I have had mine for about 9 years, they still put a smile on my face. They are absolutely beautiful with acoustic instruments and voca... 
Speakers for Heavy Metal
I am in the same boat, though not the same equipment my Dalis aren't cutting it.  Amazing on light dreamy jazzy vocal stuff, but thin thin for metal.   Did you ever make a purchase?   
Tube amp for rock? Newb Questions
I revisited this old thread I started 10 years ago to refresh my memory on the great advice I got here.  If any of you are your still lurking here...thank you!   I still have the Mcintosh 6900, Apollo and Dali Royal Towers.   About 2.5 years ago... 
Best Integrated Amp Of All Times?
I like my Mac 6900 the best of anything ive heard so far.... my experience is limited but ive heard my share of high to low end, and the Mac is the most listenable thing ive heard. 
Biggest Baddest Audio Cables
Soundstring Bi-Wires are pretty beefy 
Cambridge 840C or Rega Apollo CD Player?
Also curious about these two players compared. I own the Apollo (Mac 6900, Dali Spks). Only owned low end previously, it was a big leap in every way. Beginning to think about the 840C to get some liveliness into my system... I think I have 3 very ... 
Tube amp for rock? Newb Questions
Wanted to refresh this post on my journey... Well..Undertow was right...hindsight is fun huh? I ended up selling the Stingray and the Rotel. I happened on a great deal on a brand new Mac 6900. Ive owned it for a year, and have to say im MUCH close... 
$59 PC Options
Sennett... I just noticed the MAC after I posted...should have been on the list...no edit feature I guess...? Thanks for the tip! 
Do I need a power cable - if so what brand?
What I find interesting on Agon...particularly in the cable forum.... is how quickly a simple question turns into a debate completely off topic. I doubt Satiger was interested in degrees, objectionist opinions etc etc... Debate it in a new post, b... 
Dali Ikon
I listened to the 6s before deciding on my Dali Royal Towers. They were both nice, but the IKON tweeter was brighter and harsher. Not saying I didnt like them though, I just had a choice to make and thats what it came down to. 
Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll
Ive been hunting the same, though in addition to 3 chord rock add metal to the mix. So far I tend to find an either/or kind of presentation. Either great with imaging/nuance or punch/power...but not both. Its all about trade off's I guess. But wit... 
Mcintosh 6900/Klipsh Cornwall III - a good match?
Totally disagree that the 6900 is harsh. With my speaks....Dalis....that is the last word i'd used to describe it. With horns YMMV. I agree 100% with the Mac 6300/B&W....in my test the 804S....good match. Also agree with the 6900 being tubey s... 
Need some $500 & under Amp recommendations
Unless the sub thing is a deal killer I can recommend the Rotel 1062. I lived with one after a Manley Stingray and before a Mac 6900. Great little amp. Musical preference may be a decider between it and others...the NAD for example. Ive heard it c... 
Tube amp for rock? Newb Questions
Ive heard the same on foriegn recordings. Wish I could remember the link, bascially had listed in order of quality....something like German, Japanese, American etc. Not sure if there is anything to it. Maybe someone else here will chime in. I agre...
