That Harmon Kardon TRIO 224 sounded intriguing, I found this https://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/105874/harman-kardon-trio I came across another TRIO the other day, different manufacturer.

| what is more important ? Speakers without a doubt. Anyone can hear the difference between nearly any pair of speakers in a blind situation. Hardly anyone, (including industry experts), in blind tests, can consistently identify the difference between any decent solid stat... | |
| Thoughts on extending speaker life. IF the suspension 'sagged', the coil that drives the cone would rub in the magnetic gap, and you would hear it. Never experienced it, never heard of anyone ever experiencing it. I had a pro re-cone one of my 15" woofer off center. Got it home, mou... | |

| Our Responsibility Hello Quality ‘Originally’ it was listening in a fixed place in a room, dominated by someone, then your own room. Fixed place leads to a naturally improving system. You could bring your LP’s to any dedicated room. Reel to Reels, also portable, ... | |

| used Integrated tube amp under $1500 for Klipsch Cornwall III's?

| used Integrated tube amp under $1500 for Klipsch Cornwall III's? do I now understand you don't already own the speakers? that room, only 10 feet wide, is not easy for any sound setup, the speakers are probably going to be in and stay in the corners.Cornwalls are not near corner speakers. And too big to move aro... | |
