Hello from Philadelphia
« on: 22 Nov 2019, 11:35 pm »
Just getting back into audio this year after many years of enjoying what I had and being mostly, but not quite, content.  I picked up a pair of Vandersteen 2ce Sig IIs a few months ago that I run with a Rogue Cronus Magnum 2 and Cambridge 851c cd/DAC.  I also set up a "vintage" office system with the too-large-for-an-office Klipsch Forte IIs and a pair of cheap and old, but great!, 20-25w tube monoblocks from Antique Sound Labs.  Just hooked up the brand new, $129 xfi zendac for the budget office system and it sounds way better than I expected.  I used to think I hated Klipsch...

If anyone is in or near Philadelphia, I'm always happy to meet other audiophiles and doing a little A/B test or two.

When was the last time you were in Philly?

I agree with Stirman.

Hey Mark,

Welcome to Audio Circle!  :thumb:

I used to think I hated Klipsch...

I once heard the Corner Horns driven with a 2A3 SET (3.5 watt tube amp). Not only was I was surprised by how unbelievably loud and authoritative it drove them, but by the overall quality of sound as well. I wonder how the new Klipsch speakers stack up against the old classics?

Yesterday, did you hear of the tragedy in Rittenhouse Square the other day ? I've worked in and around Philly for over 45 years, my office was at 1528 Walnut St
