Klipsch LaScala British Hi-Fi Review Comments
“The speaker’s upper cabinet contains the new tweeter, which sports a lightweight polyimide diaphragm loaded by Klipsch’s Tractrix horn.” Like no other. “This is a striking sounding design, in an almost entirely positive way. It’s the aural equivalent of a bright, fresh autumn morning with an azure-blue sky and a chill in the air through which the sunshine blazes a path. Listening…
Stereophile Magazine Surprises
I admit, I chide magazines like Stereophile & The Absolute Sound. There’s no doubt the writers are smart guys that love the hobby. But their perspective on price/performance doesn’t correlate with ours- the readers. The magazines don’t buy products to audition. Products are loaned. All you have to do is read a review or two to see how out of touch these…

McIntosh Integrated Amps (& One Receiver)

Klipsch Heritage Speakers
Finished in Satin Black Ash, American Walnut & Natural Cherry I’ve been at many an audio demonstration, that no matter how impressive, when it ended, the audiophiles were sitting on their hands in stone silence- as if they were in church. There is something about the nature of being a card carrying audiophile that makes these guys afraid to express an opinion,…

Classical Piano
Classical Piano There are many reasons we listen to music. Whatever floats your boat is fine with me. Born in 1953… I enjoyed the same pop/rock music as everybody else growing up during these years. It’s impossible to beat a pretty girl (from Jo Stafford & Dusty Springfield to Diana Ross & Marilyn McCoo to Shelby Lynne & Grace Potter) singing she…
