Only you can answer that for you. Maybe with an in-home listening test though hard to arrange now a days. They won't be surpassed cheap. I ran the pair of Klipsch La Scala's I purchased new in 1978 for the next 32 years. Only sold them since they wouldn't fit in my new retirement digs here in FL..I'm likely missing something by not switching to modern speakers, but I'm struggling to find a reason to justify an effort to find out what that is. Well, maybe it the aesthetics .

I do have a mild itch but my kid starts college in the Fall, that will help to keep it under control
You get to see the sun in the UK?As the morning sun was shining through the windows I managed to get a reasonable photo of mine.
So you guys have some sunny days in the UK as well ...
Very nice setup, indeed !

Nice! Last I knew, very similar to the 5.1 rig Mark Waldrep uses in the AIX studio to monitor & mix his surround recordings.
Mine are the much older 801f, now active.We are having some unseasonably good weather at the moment, 13° so almost shorts and T-shirt weather!
I believe Mark Waldrep uses my speakers bigger, older brother. I think @sergeauckland uses the same speakers.
Very nice, those were the days.my HI-FI system from 1972. ELAC Miracord turntable , Dynaco preamp, EICO power amp and Dynaco A25 speakers. out of frame right is a TEAC reel to reel tape deck. sounded great. would love to have it back again.
Hello All,
I’m new here, been lurking for the last few weeks. I’m not “into” audio stuff as much as some, but I’m trying improve things as I can. Really, other than getting a better DAC I’m pretty satisfied with my system. I do more passive listening than critical as with three kids in the house, there’s usually commotion of some sort. I stream Spotify as my primary source.
Anyway, here are the details:
Custom Dynaco 70 clone in the style of a Marshall guitar amp, Gold Lion KT77 power tubes, false speaker cabinet houses components. The amp was built by a guitar amp builder in Tacoma, WA.
Refurbished Yamaha C-60 pre
Parasound zDac
Yamaha CD player.
Klipsch Forte II’s, grill cloth is Marshall “Cane”, to match the false cabinet. Bob Crites tweeter and squawker upgrades.
Wow that amp cabinet is cool!
Did you commission the guy to build it? Or did you just somehow find that unicorn?
