I guess the need I have is to sate my listening appetite. All I really need is to keep my lady happy!

I need a beer.

Need?

I'm a little concerned about my power needs, but super excited to see the glow and hear it sing.

I noticed that I rarely see threads that don't "leave you hanging" as to the outcome. I have decided to report back and say that I can't find any reason to make any changes to these speakers. They have sounded good with anything I have attached to them. That said, I will tell you that I have moved on to finding something to push them that I like. One of the earliest threads that I read on this forum said that Klipsch speakers will end up making you want to upgrade the rest of your system and I find that true. I started out with my Pioneer SX-1250, then my Marantz 2325, both of which I like, but something was missing. I came across a deal on a Mcintosh MA6300 which I thought would hit the spot and while it sounded good, still something was missing which is hard to put my finger on, or ear. More reading (I love this forum!), and the idea of tubes was planted. I made contact with a wonderful gentleman named Pat Hickman of Classic Tube Audio in Camas, WA. He let me check out his stock which had a museum of sorts of historic gear, some really cool equipment ready to refurbish, his lab and he let me pick his brain on some questions I had about tube audio. He's even built his own amp that did well at T.H.E. Newport show. His knowledge of tube audio spans 50+ years and he was gracious and patient and helped me on a path on which I still feel I need a striped cane. Lo and behold a Scott 299 C tube amp and tuner are on their way to my place and then straight to him for a rebuild. The follow up to this will be somewhere in the Talkin' Tubes thread.

Congrats! On my bucket list!

Sold?

I am used to losing and I am not adept at dodging bullets. Have a guess?

I don't think you'll have any problems selling them but GLWS!

Nice. Where are you?

I will start out by saying I'm a Chicago fan. (maybe I shouldn't) Last year I decided, since working six days a week then, I would not spend my one day off a week sitting around watching football. So I figured if my team had eight wins, I'd pay attention...I spent my Sundays last Fall and Winter enjoying myself disc golfing or anything else. That said, if adding a few pounds of air to the ball would have given my team a championship, I would have been all in!

Ciao!
