So, what music are you listening to now?

Subs in my listening rig is a no no for me (I want speakers that can do it) but that is just for me personally. I know many use them.

I guess the Ti mids are pretty much gone with the wind. I'm just not enough of a crank to get into the better crossovers, or modding the woofers and/or the passives. I like fixing things, not working on things.

Almost bought some Chorus II's, other than I was going to have to go to St. Louis to get them. Wound up with some Hornshoppes, thus the sub. Also added some FT-17 super tweets...in a way a superior setup compared to the Klipsch. Didn't have the expansive sound, but the mids were to die for.

Only bought the Quartets because they were pretty much pristine and going for $350 30 miles away. Had some KG-4's before and they were pretty good, but not in the same category as the Quartets.

After I finally decided to use tone controls, I'm pretty much satisfied. I'm using and old Dynaco Pat-5 for a pre, modified to supposedly an Omegastar by Van Alistine, bought from a fellow on Audiogon who went through it adding Blackgates, upgraded pots, resistors...in other words even further tricked out. It's a definite improvement over the C-1, and even with the tone controls on it sounds pretty good.

Compared to the days when I was running a Sansui 6060 pushing Kenwood KL888Z's, well, there is no comparison.

I gave the Kenwoods to a buddy of mine to put in his hunting lodge...pushed them with a Sansui 771. The system sounds like it's packed full of mud. The only thing worse is his Bose 501's I refoamed for him, and he has in his shop. Pushes them with a newer Sherwood receiver...that system sounds like it's packed full of shit.
