  1. Definitely no subs needed at all with these.
  2. KLF20's have lots of bottom end in fact more than I actually prefer but if bass is what you want, they'll deliver. They do have a noticeable amount of box resonance but my friend used something inside the corners like Liquid Nails to bring that resonance down. This video is before that modification was made.
  3. In your guys opinion, what has more impact on differences in sound in most cases. I'm not necessarily saying for the better or for worse. If you had to choose what alters it the most. Of course there's other components, but let's just stick to these. I'm curious what the average one turns out to be. DAC? Room? Preamp? Amplifier? Speakers? Recording quality? Thanks, ---daniel
  4. Me too! That's a great place to be.
  5. Nice to hear that the Decware is working out. I used to have one but Decware really just opened up because of the YouTube channels. There's other great amps to choose from now.
  6. I've never jumped on the newer is better band wagon. I enjoy my Heresy II's and Forte I's just fine. I think the Forte III and IV were more of a let down. Also, Klipsch tried to soften the top end of the newer speakers and the way the were originally is why they were what they were. They didn't need to be anything else other than to help keep the business flowing. All the newer Heritage are way overpriced now.
  7. I'm sure you'll get many responses. I use both but generally prefer tube amps and tube preamps. If you are torn between both, you can always link a tube preamp to a solid state amp. I don't recommend doing it the other way around unless you intend to spend higher amounts of money. I use SS for my Magnepan's and all tubes for my Heritage series.
  8. I'm so sick of all the Bu#@&%*! about measurements and those clowns on Audio Science Review. They don't even listen to anything.
  9. Shakey, I'm willing to bet the gear you have listed is close to as good as most would ever need in order to enjoy the sound of their music. Having listened to many setups and high end gear, there's just a point of diminishing return on investment and in some cases, little to no improvement. Most of the really expensive gear sells for about half what it retails for because most of it is purchased by those with deep pockets who are often less informed. To them, it's just like going out and buying a fancy watch. It's like someone who has money to buy fifty thousand dollar cables. We all know they perform no better but there are people willing to spend it. Here's a prime example of a hustle.
  10. Careful with my reviews though. According to John Warren, I'm a snake oil salesman.
  11. My motto is don't fix what ain't broke. I never update anything if I don't have to.
  12. What am I selling? Pretty cocky response. If you look at the rest of my reviews, you'll see I review and praise many things. So I must be a snake oil salesman for all the other stuff too right? Let me know and I'll tell you what I actually do.
  13. So thinking on this. RP600M $439, Bluesound Node $599 and Zen amp $1195. Not all that expensive.
  14. In my opinion neutral can be a bit over rated and boring to listen to. If the coloration sounds good, that's all that matters.
  15. Tidal search engine is horrible. It amazes how bad it is. Qobuz is much more user friendly in that regard. With regard to Spotify until they do hi res, it's unlistenable to me but I stopped using it recently so maybe they have hi res now, I don't know but it was too compressed.
  16. It's good that he can keep audio systems in perspective for most. Keeping it practical for the average audience.
  17. F3 and F8 are my favorite.
  18. I've always known that it's out of the signal path, but there is a pretty overwhelming amount of reviews and claims that rectifiers can change sound.
  19. Does anybody know how a rectifier can do this? I just don't understand it other than what I'm hearing. It's baffling to me.
