How can anyone want more......Just a very happy listener.


I have recently listened to the best of Genesis, Dire Straits, Krall, Sinatra, Presley, Miles, Keb Mo, Floyd, Zep, Stones, and so much more, and I am so happy with my system. Why do people need to spend 40K on speakers, and, the same on amplification. Equipment : Modified Adcom GDA 700. Luminous Audio Walker passive , Nuforce STA 200, Modified Klipsch Lascalas, and powered subs ( a secret ). There is absolutely nothing, at this particular time, that I want more of. I have Dynamics, Tone, Coherence, Prat, Imaging, the whole shebang. I sit 10 ft from the speakers, and, I am so " involved " with my recordings, that I cant imagine any one not wanting the sound that I have, for relatively little money. Thoughts ? Enjoy ! MrD.

Mr D, you've been helpful with some of your previous posts. I have vintage gear and have had ADS floor standing speakers since 1983. Figured I'd never change out. But, I finally bought LaScala II's, with no audition. I've wanted them for over 50 years. My family and I knew right away that they were special. They are now our main speakers and the ADS, which I'll never part with, are in another room. We did a/b comparisons and it was unanimous. 
Our taste in music is similar so I assume we're close in age. I understand chasing the next latest and greatest, but in audio that's not me cause I'm content. My wife and I listen every evening to whatever suits our mood. Sorry for the long post but I get what you're saying. 
Klipsch speakers are polarizing. There's almost no grey area. You love 'em or hate 'em. So we just listen in complete contentment cause we love 'em. 
N80, you're right. Whatever floats your boat, is right. It's all subjective cause no two ears are the same. (After processing of course)  It's just so fun and interesting to hear, read, and listen to what other folks find so intriguing about other  products. That's why I'm here. To learn and absorb from more experienced audiophiles than me is so cool. 
Never heard of Vienna Teng. Wow!!
Great vocals and instrumentals. 
Thanks David and Tomic.
