What were your favorite gear additions in 2024?
Brand spanking new, in box, NOS Luxman MQ-300.

One more thing.  Everything is boxed separately; you put the stands together, they screw into the speakers, and then you attach the horns.  Kinda fun really.  Hope you enjoy and let us know what you think!

Mine took a month and a half to show, so patience is key.  The packaging on the pallet will impress; shows what Klipsch thinks of the contents.  I also have AL5’s, which are more efficient and more classically Klipsch sounding due to their configu...

I should add that I seek out US made products, and in this case, I’m happy to cover the delta between home grown/hand made vs an “over there” factory product.  As Oscar Wilde famously said, “What is a cynic?  A man who knows the price of everythin...

McIntosh tube upgrade - worthwhile?

Dog pissed on speaker
Whizzer cone….now that’s funny  
Handling Heavy Amps
I’m old.  I’ve had back surgery.  I did not let those considerations get in the way of moving Klipsch LaScalas up a set of stairs by myself.  Nor was I daunted by a Mac 130lb beast hoisted up into a pickup, out again, and up said stairs.  Ingenuit...
