There are hikes of every difficulty there, from very easy to very strenuous. If you want to hike through water, you can do that along a hike there called, "The Narrows." I never did it because hiking through water makes me think of blisters.

I didn't see Zion National Park on the list of places you visited. If you haven't been there, you missed the best National Park in the Southwest.

I always liked Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow for its mix of smooth jazz, funk and rock. I wonder what it could have been like with great vocals, too. https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m4RIkO4KeNSHtAFD13dMT_ydhSJVb73Bc&playnext=1&index=1

Duke, you know I used to say the same years ago. I had a Microtech 1200. I sold the old stuff a while back. I recently bought KHorns with an Onkyo M504 165 wpc amp. The amp has meters. I was surprised to learn what 20 watts sounds like. To put it in perspective, I play drums with the volume significantly lower than that. 20 watts will drown out my drums. Either that, or my amp's meters are wrong.

Tweeters are fine. I turned it up to 10 watts with 20-watt peaks, and I think the sound improved a lot. Highs are pretty bright, but not as tinny as they are at lower levels. I have to say it's pretty darn loud at this point. I have false corners and did not place the speakers in actual corners. Are false corners inferior to the real thing? Has anyone compared before?

Bass doesn't go as deep as I recall from prior KHorns. Squawkers sound kind of "tinny" kind of like distorted and scratchy. They are fatiguing. I had Khorns years ago that sounded better. Could be the wood floor. The old set up was carpeted. I'd say that's the only major difference between rooms from years ago and now. I don't have a rug yet, but it just now occurred to me that I can lay down some blankets.

Interesting. I wish I can sample different versions.
