Since you like that sound get Tekton, Double Impact or Moab. You will find at least as much thrilling live dynamics, but not in your face. Instead the sound stage will range from up close to quite deep, depending on the recording. Much more effortless, with zero fatigue factor. The longer you listen the more you will want to listen. This goes both for hour after hour each listening session as well as month after month. They are just as efficient and easy to drive as Klipsch, but sound a whole lot better, much more sophisticated, natural, and resolving. Have your cake and eat it too.
Now I am in a Delimma
So, yesterday I stopped by a Hi Fi store here in Socal because this particular dealer was the only that had the Luxman SQ-N150.
I wanted to take a look at it and hear it if possible. It's small but a really nice looking piece.
Well the dealer hooked up the Luxman to a pair of Klipsch Heresy IV's. He played a couple of tracks from Qobuz running through a Goldnote DAC.
I had not heard any of the Klipsch Heritage line before or any other speakers that fall within the same type of presentation.
More than the Luxman, I think it's the speakers that really affected me.
As I have read before, they have that really forward in your face, Live type of presentation!
As I left the store after the demo, I thought to myself, Holy Crap, now I have to hear these speakers at home.
So, as I always do, when I get home, I play the same tracks on my system (I had Shazam'd them while I was in the store) to compare.
Now mind you, the same tracks on my system does not sound bad in anyway but definitely did not have the same in your face experience like the Heresy's had.
I am feeling I really liked that sound and am starting to feel that music on my system sounds dull now.
Man, why did I have to hear those.
The only way I am going to be satisficed now is to get those speakers and try them out myself.
Dammit.
