  1. i tried this the other night and didn't love it. I love the music. Sounded a little flat to me compared to the other stuff I have been listening to.   Like I could be listening to the digital and be just as happy.  Enjoying it a bit more this evening.  go figure

  2. Well 2 months ago I had ZERO records. Some told me not to do it. Its been fun building a collection. If it didn't sound better than digital I would not be doing it. I'm not having much luck on the used front.... So I'm modifying my lifestyle to allow  for a vinyl budget. 😯

     

    dinner music...

  3. If you want another option that is praised on other forums i'd go with  Dueland 12g with bare ends. You have upgraded components, low powered tube amp, your system is about finesse... treat it that way with something better than lamp cord.

    And as far a universal pricing - that's like paying MSRP for a car... only for suckers :)

    i'd say its more like Tesla pricing. There's  price and that's what it costs. I look for cars more than i do speakers and anything that is very desirable is often sold at MSRP.... at least for a time. So If suckers mean "I can't wait have to have it now", then I agree.  I think Klipsch is trying to preserve the image and line by keeping the pricing consistent.  If you can't be patient and wait for a used pair. the B-stocks the way to go and likely the same price. Also getting them for a respected member and dealer is a no brainer.

    Good point yea I don't know. Maybe even step back further, did it sound wrong without any attenuation? Because all of this is just playing around without a calibrated measurement mic and REW or similar.

    What I can say is thank God and human engineering for 24 bit 96kHz active digital crossovers :)

    i never could get that figured out.  

  6. Spread the speakers a bit. It’s deceiving but from the plane of the front of the speakers there is 5 feet. To the rear wall. Besides the fire place obvi. 

     

    The sound stage is awesome. Not pinpoint but all encompassing. I listened to a lot of live recordings so it’s pretty accurate to what it sounds like live.

  7. Hey. Update here. New crossovers installed from dean. New tweeters from bob. Up and running. Everything sounds great. I do feel like I’m getting a bit of muddy bass.  I do has a sub that I turn off and on to see if it helps balance things out. I’ve moved things around, spread the speakers. And used rubber isolating 2 inch risers, to decouple from my wood non insulated floor over a garage. to see if anything would help. I think it’s getting better.
