  1. My name is Gary...and I have a problem.  I rarely check in the site anymore because I always find something I want to go buy.  I have plenty of good equipment.  I listen regularly.  I also want a luxman,  parasound, schiit freya and vidar monoblocks or the new class A monoblocks. McIntosh  ... plus maybe a mohican cd player.  🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

  2. I've been using a Loki for quite a while in my main 2 channel setup.  My rogue cronus magnum2 has a lot of power,  and sounds great with most music , but no tone controls. Sometimes classic rock needs a tweak,  and the Loki is the answer.  Rega apollo > Loki > rogue > forte 3s.  Sweet.

  3. All my TV watching is in 7.1 .  Although I  prefer to use multi channel stereo setting on pre amp. It's just an enveloping sound with  a  front focused voice sound stage that at lower levels never has me wondering what the heck someone said.  And watching music based shows,  I can rock out.  I  agree that I probably only watch 1 or 2 movies maybe in a week. When I want to jam,  I  switch over to the 2 channel  setup also in the basement.

  4. Thanks for the heads up.  Always looking for new music and New bands to follow.  This is right up my alley.  This type of classic rock is becoming extinct.  Grew up on it, getting harder to get in the mood to listen to the same songs for the millionth time. 

  5. I know you don't really want separates,  but I would go with a marantz 7703 pre amp and a parasound a31 amp. A solid and powerful 3 channel amp and a pre  with separate menu functions that will make dialing in a 3.0 system easy. There is a 3 channel front array setting and a center channel complete control for adjusting dialogue level when watching tv. I have been using marantz pre amps for many years and never been disappointed.  Just my opinion.

  6. I have been listening to my f3s for about a month. they are my favorite speakers I've ever had. if I could only keep one set of my speakers, no question the f3s. I have upgraded belles x3 for lcr, chorus lls, kg5.5s, quartets, rf3s,.  thank you chief, your hard work is greatly appreciated.  forte 3s will never leave.

  7. truth be told, they did lose their spot to new forte 3s. California walnut OF Course. quartets are wrapped  in blankets in my tool room next to kg5.5s and rf3s. speaker purgatory. just waiting for the next life.

  8. I bought the walnut quartets. they are in excellent condition and sound great. I usually update the tweets and crossovers, but they don't need it. they are worth more to me than what I paid. I like to buy, but once they are mine, I never will sell them. so the spread sheet says 425. but to me, priceless.
