So, I'm sitting here listening to music thinking to myself, how can people fight over a component of music when music is what bonds us together. Well, back to listening to music.

[quote user="joshnich"][quote user="Montigue231"] Joe took a rotary saw to a pair of la scalas. This Joe Schmo blow is talking about other speakers meanwhile hacking up klipsches like they were trees in his back yard.. Joe go blow a zu lu u boo hooo.... Dont worry Rf bro I got your back [/quote] This is pretty remarkable and downright ridiculous. Joe is a long-standing, respected and contributing member of this forum. He has probably owned and listened to more Klipsch speakers

[quote user="Mr. RF62"] They do have some interesting ideas what with the fullrange drivers. Would be interesting to hear a pair. [/quote] People love them or hate them. I bought this pair without hearing anything by Zu first. Stupid? Sure! Not the first time and won't be the last. Seriously, I couldn't be happier. The Coincidents were awesome speakers, but the soundstage wasn't as large as I wanted. Granted, that was with a pair of Super Eclipse III's, so it isn't a

Joe, Although this is somewhat redundant with the other Zu post, I thought I'd post here too. Yes, the Def Pro speakers are amazing. By far the best conventional cone speaker I've heard and I'm fortunate to own a pair. Not many of these were built. Driving the front with a Yamamoto A-08S and the rear subwoofer array (down to 15Hz folks!) with a Behringer EP-2500 which scored (independent bench tested against other amps) very impressively vs. other dedicated "subwoofer" amps

Joe, Congrats on the Def Pro's. I'm really loving mine! What amp are you using to drive the subwoofer array? I'm using a Behringer EP2500 which works amazingly, and for $250 for a new one shipped simply can't be beat. The Rane EQ definitely takes time to get dialed in, but wow! These speakers sound so amazing! Absolutely the best "conventional" cone speaker for the price I have ever heard on the used market. Now, I need to replace the fan on my EP2500. A replacement fan

The budget for the project I was working was unexpectedly cancelled by the Board of Directors (we were operating without a CEO). I was let go the day before we left for a 2 week vacation to Europe. Kind of dampered the trip a bit, but seriously not as much as you would think. I was given the day to clear out my personal files off my laptop (no backups from my personal drive to the network), email stuff from my work email account to my personal email accounts, etc... Definitely a professional courtesy

I don't care either way. He's going to play football for some team, and I'm going to watch football on TV. I spent too much money on my HT system not to watch football on it. I won't turn off the game if MV comes in to play. Dog fighting, killing dogs and lieing about it are violations of US laws and most Americans' morals. He got caught, convicted and went to prison. He got out. He's going to work on the football field. Boo hoo. I'm not going to cry if he gets his ass

I agree that receivers are a low-priced, but feature-rich pre-amp for movies. How else can you spend under $500 to get a 7.1 separate receiver. However, I wouldn't use a receiver as my primary amp for stereo listening because I'm a tube guy. The volume I can get out of my 2-watt per channel flea powered amp and a pair of high-efficiency speakers is VERY loud. But, more important to me, the music is vastly better. So, I'd have to spend a lot of money on a recveiver if I wanted to get a

It's been a long time since I've come across a thread as cool as this! The web is such a valuable part of our lives now. Can you just imagine not being able to sign on and get help from another person somewhere in the world? Thank you Al Gore! :-) Dave

Which home stereo system is best is similar to asking which car is best, which school is best, which house is best, etc... There are so many criteria used to answer that question, but unfortunately the "best" is more of a conceptual journey than a destination. My very first questions would be: Budget? What do you want to buy? Speakers, receiver (integrated amp, separate amp/preamp), universal/blu-ray/cd player and all necessary cables are a minimum. Next I'd ask: What is your room size
