Need a speaker for the blues lover...

According to the Klipsch forums, you have a classic match for the Forte or Chorus Willland recommended. I might try for the II versions with the Tractrix mid horn. From what I understand, the Tractrix addresses the coloration caused at the mouth where the horn opens to the baffle. I have not compared the the two, but I just acquired a set of Forte IIs. It will be a few days before I can set them up, but I got them for a song(PI)and cant wait to hear them. I was actually looking for the Quartet model that is a bit smaller and uses the same horns, you should consider this less known model as well. Few speakers capture the live sound of rock or blues like these do, you don't need monster power, and they play crazy loud if needed.

I definitely 2nd the Omega suggestion. I have the Super 8 Alnico XRS in one system and they are terrific for blues, small ensemble jazz and classical, solo instrumental, and solo vocals. Tremendous musical value for the $.

Thanks guys for the great ideas, I will ponder them seriously.

Tvad. I live on a secluded private road so the neighbors aren't an issue :). I seldom listen very loud though my girlfriend like to "jam" when she visits on weekends. I have been having trouble finding a speakers that adds that "edge" that blues music needs without overkill on other types. I have tried Quad 22L's which were nice but sanded everything smooth. Klipsch's do great on blues but are edgey on other stuff. And so it goes...
