  1. I thought the 95 is suppose to have upgraded audio section that is why it is another $500. So I guess if you go with Oppo BDP93 + Wyred 4 Sound DAC2 -->amp you will want to make sure the DAC2 will give you better sound than the 95 would.
  2. Try here. http://www.critesspeakers.com/speaker_fabric.html
  3. I agreed with everything Groomlakearea51 said except the Fortes have clearly better bass than Heresys not slightly better bass. I had Heresy 1s for 15 years and loved them but my Fortes have a much better balanced sound than the Heresys because the highs, and midrange do not overpower the bass which can happen with Heresys. Now I have not had a chance to compare Heresy IIIs to Fortes. Both are great speakers but my vote is for the Fortes.
  4. Ask the seller if you can bring some music and listen to the LS. Of course how the LS sound on his system and how they sound on yours will be different.
  5. Try that and then audition a pair of KHorns and then decide.
  6. One problem I had going from the KLF 20s to La Scalas was the LS with the audio video reciver did not sound that good. They sounded good but not like I remebered them sounding. The LS and KHorns have to be paired with quality equipment to get the best sound from them. Quality equipment does not mean very expensive equipment but it can still add up if you are not careful. What equipment will you be using? Be very careful cause if you get the KHorns you may end up upgrading your whole system and spend tttttooooooo[:S] much money which is what I did.

  8. I bought a GG and enjoyed it very much!![] I did not build it but got it from the original owner. I used it with a Luxman 100 watt int amp, a Cayin 30 watt int amp, and a pair of Welborne Labs 2A3 Moondogs 3.5 watts and liked the GG with all 3!! I did not have a chance to try it with one of the Transcendent Sound amps but I have read very good reviews of them. If you do go with the GG and the mini beast( I think if you get two they are 12 watts) post pics of the build and how they sound. The Chassis is very basic but the preamp sounds very good! I was using it with La Scalas and the Welborne Labs 2A3 Moondogs had enough power for my 15 x 15 room.
  9. The grocery store chain I go to has the $1 dvd rentals and just started putting blue ray dvds in the machine for $1.50 so that is another option but I think I will go with Netflix.
  10. Blockbluster just closed another store that I started using after they closed the first store I was using. Now they want me to go to a store that will have all the customers from the two store that closed which means supply at this store(until they close it) is going to be very low because demand just went up. So Netflix blue ray discs looks to be the way to go. I don't see Blockbuster stores staying open but Blockbuster may just become .com only and go to streaming only.
  11. Try doing it by accident like I did [:S]! I hope I never do that again I may not survive a second time.
  12. here are two that might work for you. http://transcendentsound.com/Transcendent/Transcendent_Sound_Grounded_Grid_Preamp.html I did not build this preamp but did own one and liked it very much. http://www.decware.com/newsite/CSP2.html
  13. Check Luxman! You might move this post to the two channel section of the forum and more people should reply. http://www.luxman.co.jp/ http://www.luxman.de/cms/

  15. Paris is a great live dvd and wish it was on blue ray. Have not seen Rio so will have to get a copy.
  16. Tone Audio Magazine is going to do a review of the Heresy III in issue 38( issue 37 just came out online). Here is a link to a preview of the review. http://www.tonepublications.com/blog/klipsch-heresy-iiis-a-ton-of-fun/

    609 or 709

    Review of 609 and 709 from http://www.joerodhometheater.com/about.html his review of 609 go to http://www.highdefjunkies.com/showthread.php?9337-ONKYO-TX-NR609-Receiver review of 709 http://www.highdefjunkies.com/showthread.php?9558-ONKYO-TX-NR709-amp-HT-RC370-7.2-3D-Receiver
  18. I agree! Wait 2-3 weeks between each upgrade, that is what I did with my Fortes.
  19. Speakerfritz he said it looks like a La Scala II and will go lower than an original La Scala not lower than the LS II. " I agree that it looks more like a LaScala II. That means it will sound deeper than an original LaScala and that's a good thing."
  20. [Y] Exactly what I thought when I got my Fortes! I had La Scalas and really noticed the difference in bass. Looking at the speakers next to each other you would think La Scalas would have the lower bass but the Fortes beat them. I have enjoyed the Fortes more than the La Scalas.[] Enjoy your Fortes!!
