La Scala vs Klipschorn

Jax2, what tube gear are you using?

I use my Klipschorns with false corners which does not limit you to using them in two 45 degree corners. Check out the Klipsch.com forum for that simple solution.

Marco,

That looks like a beautiful amp. Do they still make that? Also, have you ever listened to Wright Sound's 2A3 amp, the WPA3.5? I really want to listen to both Wright & Quicksilver on my Klipschorns to satisfy my curiosity about tube gear. Wright offers a 15 day trial, so I will definitely take up that offer as soon as I can afford it. A recurring comment from most tube owners is the reproduction of a very good three dimensional image, something I haven't really noticed with my SS gear. To be continued.

Marco,

Thank you for such an informative response! I feel the key here is whether as Peter_s mentions, the system is engaging, and that is exactly what I'm looking for. If that means a colored system, so be it. I have been longing for the type of sound that puts me into a different world, the one that makes me forget about work and the like. You have strengthened my interest in listening to Quicksilver as well, so as funds permit, I will listen to Mr. Sanders gear as well as Mr. Wright's.

Marco,

Thanks for the invite. Doubt I'll be on the west coast anytime soon, but one never knows. I still have yet hear Avantgarde's out of sheer curiosity. Everytime I visit family in Atlanta, I call the dealer there and he doesn't have them setup yet. That's been going on for over eight months.

Right now I'm running my Theta Miles directly into a Pass Aleph 30. It sounds nice, but I feel I would be foolish to not sample what tubes have to offer, especially with the horns.

I will be sure to share my listening impressions. Thanks again for the great information!
