two channel speaker/equipment consultant

@mikeyb9115 Have you checked Sound Environment? They sell some high end speakers.  I live in KC, but I haven't actually been in the KC store. I used to go to their Omaha store. 

I have a friend in KC that has Legacy Valors.  Another Agon forum member is in KC. He's taking delivery of two new pairs of speakers this week. 

There is a Facebook page for Kansas City Home Audio Enthusiasts.  Someone on there might have something that you could listen to.. Maybe put a post there. 

I have Von Schweikert Endeavor RE speakers.  I really like them, but you may be looking to spend more.  I run them with a pair of REL subs. 

There is only one guy that’s Mikey at 11 stereo, you can find his number on that site…he has live chat feeds on YouTube Wednesday and Sunday at 9 pm eastern or better yet call him..he doesn’t read emails…best to call or text for first contact 

You do not need to make a considerable investment to get GREAT traditional speakers.

I love my Livingroom box speaker it is one of the best ever made, but I recently heard an open baffle speaker, and I am thinking this is the future of speakers. I am now in the queue to get one once it is released very soon. Going to keep both speakers (at least that is the plan).

Interesting thing with open baffle speakers is that they usually run on very low power. I heard the speaker I am getting with a tube headphone amp. The bass section was driven by Class D. The key is how the bass is integrated with the rest of the sound.

It was the best bass I ever heard. Sure, sounded different. There was a bass musician in the room with me when I heard the speakers and when I commented on the bass, he told me that is how bass is supposed to sound.
