[La Scala Anniversary Review Stereoplay April 2006]

thanks for your time and effort sharing with us!

[Please list the contents of your underware drawer]

Is this all for real? Looks like some of you have gone bananas!

[I bit the bullet, brought the rf-83 in cherry]

I think you may be one of the first I've seen here with the new RF-83. Congrats on your new purchase. Enjoy and take care of those nice Klipsch speakers. Sure glad the roommate days are over, wouldn't want to do that number again!

[RF-35, RF-7 sound]

They both sound very good. Try and find a Klipsch dealer in your area and go take a listen. You will be very impressed with the Klipsch sound.

[F-3 vs RF-3]

I like the metal cones (copper reference line) because to me the sound is more dispersed/wider sound from the metal cones. The Reference line is built with upgraded materials.

The F3 are impressive sounding and good value. The cones are made from good fiber plastics.

[Extreme listener fatigue with SF-1]

I agree with DrWho, good advice, try those suggestions too!

[La Scalas, Cornwalls, Rf-7, or ?? Need Help]

If you can, it's best to try and find what your ears will prefer. Klipsch makes some very good speakers in all their line offerings. The Rotel RB1090 is a fine amp. In the Portland, Oregon area:

Home Video Library is a Klipsch dealer and very good place and people to deal with.

The Good Guys/CompUSA also a Klipsch dealer (near Airport Store)

Chelsea Audio Video is a Rotel dealer with the RB1090 in demo room. Ford (the Son) is a great guy to work with and talk to.

[Extreme listener fatigue with SF-1]

I would suspect the Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card before the Marantz or SF-1. My Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card had some type of failure starting and started to change the sound unpleasant. Marantz has a warm sounding signature sound so I doubt that would be coming from it. I have a Marantz that is almost 25 years old and it still sounds great. Good Luck problem solving, hope you get it resolved!

[Brand New Klipschorns $1000, La Sacala II, $600, Heresey III, $300]

Wish it were I, love a deal like that!

[Klipsch may have ruined me for other speakers...]

I really enjoy the Klipsch sound, there are some other speakers that sound good but I still find the Klipsch sound to be more real and involving the way Klipsch does it.
