LMK how you are running them? Love to hear. Do you stream Tidal? Or do LPs/CDs? What's your setup? I love to get ideas that would help me along this journey from real folk who are getting great results from their Klipsch. Ultimately love to get the new Cornwalls or at least the Hersey lV. Hey do you have your Hersey's off the floor or on the floor?

That is really cool. Still have them? I am just starting a hifi system, 2.0 or 2.1/2.2 system specifically. Last I owned a system was back in late 80's! OMG! And truthfully, with all the modern tech now, streaming platforms, DAC's, optic vs HDMI, music files etc I am a bit lost. I just purchased a vintage mint condition Mitsubishi DA A15 DC dual mono block amp and its preamp. Now where? I want Klipsch or JBL, but I think this amp won't do below 4 Ohms, it will probably sound nice w/ Klipsch. I love to maybe stream music from a smart TV if possible and not sure if I should get a separate DAC. The DAC I am looking into is the RME ADI DAC2. I also see a Oppo BDP 105 for sale, which may be okay for now. Ultimately I love to get a tube preamp in the mix. And what about room correction? The only place I know that sells devices for this is miniDSP. Not even sure if I need it...but probably do. Not even sure if I want to stream, maybe just FM, Internet Radio, and CD/SACD? I don't know. Things were so much simpler back then....

Another law of demand and price increase? Or numerous positive reviews of Audiophiles? I remember looking at these when offered at 999.00/each but after numerous positive reviews the price increased to something like 1300 and change. Just really blew. Makes me Not want to support Klipsch....but I do love horn loaded speakers. Now the 4's came out and the price is higher....decisions, decisions....

Hey wnabphil. Funny you got the Outlaw 2150 Integrated. I was thinking on doing just that and pairing it w/ RP 600m. I think there will be plenty of power for the speakers since rated at 96dB or so. Plenty of juice. I am curious how you, or anyone else reading this think of using a Class D amp (such as the Crown XLS 2502) with ANY horn speaker. I know probably alone, it may be a bit too "bright", but the kicker is to marry the amp w/ a Tube PreAmp. I am curious what That would sound like. I dig Tube sounds, Class A, and Class AB but they all consume SO MUCH power! Some of them it's like running a second, or third major appliance. Ridiculous. I don't want to pay so much on my electric bill, just to hear music, or watch a movie thru a 2.2 system or something. That's why I brought up the question about the efficient class D amps. I think the Only Class D amp that I demoed was the PeachTree Nova 300. Very nice. Love to hear what you think. PS> Regarding the use of L and R speakers and possibly a sub or two for a 2.0 or 2.2 system: I guess I must use a video processor. Unless I could get satisfying results thru using the integrated amp's optic out?
