| Klipsch Heresy IV I certainly agree with the draw backs of rear porting, the bass extension over the III will mainly come from the port. But there are creative ways of reducing rear port interference.However, as I recall with the III’s they needed at least 2-3 feet... | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV Yes-given the same woofer-one that had a EDP that lends it’s self to sealed and ported boxes-the ported box will always be LARGER.Amazing how many assume just the opposite.I would certainly recommend any audiophile to get and read a copy of Dickas... | |
| harman kardon citation 16 amp????? I agree. H/K runs a wide open format-direct coupled.Most H/K amps are rock solid reliable, but with age, one needs to consider them to need a full check out service. Redo all the heat stressed solder connections, re heat sink the outputs etc, as t... | |
| harman kardon citation 16 amp????? Mcintosh are well built, but personally I would take most H/K Citation amps over any Mac equipment, as mentioned they just plain sound better.Add the PA2400, and Signature 1.5 to that list as well.Mcintosh is more of a status symbol IMHO-good soun... | |
| Klipsch forte II what league are they in? Very nice speakers once you upgrade them-really a must IMHO-caps and both tweet and midrange diaphram.I would opt out on the Klipsch K-53 Ti diaphram/driver if you ruunning the stock autoformers-they don't sound right. The Crites mid diaphrams are... | |
| Speakers for a 15w 6v6 integrated amp? I second the Quartet. Nice smaller foot print-Efficient and 3way.Upgrade the mid/tweet diaphrams with Crites and you will really hace something for under $400 if you shop right.Oiled oak finish is the way to go.I prefer this speaker to the Forte o... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Get yourself a pair of ESS AMT3's. The Omens will sound like a transistor radio in comparison. Soundstaging/tonal balance and imaging are far superior-and this thing was made in 1974.I tried a set of Omens-the reminded me of the "Emporer's New Clo... | |
| Klipsch Quartet: Suggestions for Setup & Pairing Corners are the best placement for these-moving them away at least 2 ft from the wall will prevent the passive from exciting the rear wall.Crites tweeter and mid diaphrams IMHO are a must-as the vocals you mentioned will come alive, and will be ve... | |
| ESS speakers synergise with valves? Hermanadolph-Looking at the line up of ESS speakers from the first, to the last models, one can easily see they weren't moving too fast. Trying to get Heil technology into the lower end of the audio spectrum has little to do why they falied.Yeah, ... | |
| Denon DL-103 vs. DL-160? How do you figure the DL-103 is a better catridge than a DL-106? Aside from the DL-103 being a low output, it's a conical stylus design which is far from ideal, compared to the eliptical design of the DL-160.I have heard both and the Dl 160 has mu... |
