I have never heard any of the legacy speakers (Khorns, Cornwalls, Belles, Heresy, La Scala) so I cannot judge them. From what I have read on AK the Heresy seems to be the one most dinged for harshness. Now I have Synergy series (books shelves and small towers), Reference (RB-5 bookshelves) and Epic Series CF-3. None of those are too harsh to my ears at all. The RB-5s in particular sound really detailed and they can throw the voice way out in front of the music but in a good way. A few years back at work we had a pair of Klipsch RF-10s, which are small towers. Those sounded fantastic...silky smooth.
I'm like John I can take or leave them. For warm mid-range with really non-tiring listening the KEF 104/2 is probably the best.

I've only listened to the ones you listed + Fortes, owned the Heresy's for a week and sold it, bought a pair of Kg 3's cheap and gave those away to one of my people. Just could not get into them.
I've heard the KEF 104/2's (an audio friend has them) and they are very smooth and large.

In Four-Party Race, Clinton's Lead Takes a Hit
16% for candidates outside of the two party Duopoly. And I'm hoping to see that grow.

In a head-to-head contest, Hillary Clinton has maintained a comfortable lead over her likely presidential opponent Donald Trump. However, new polling out Tuesday shows that when pitted in a four-way match-up, such as is expected come November, Clinton's advantage shrinks to just four points.
The new CNN/ORC survey (pdf) finds that when pitted against Trump, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Clinton claims 42 percent of the vote. Trump follows with 38 percent, while Johnson and Stein claim 9 and 7 percent respectively.

Former presidential candidate furious that Clinton used her in campaign ad
Hillary "it's all about me" Clinton.
http://www.wmnf.org/former-president...ampaign-video/
Quote:
“So, I went and found the ad online and the ad begins with all these pictures of the women’s movement. It’s starts by invoking 1848 and it shows all these pictures of these amazing, heroic struggles that women have carried out throughout all of the years since then. It shows incredible women, like Shirley Chisholm and I believe Angela Davis is in it. And you start to get really roused and inspired and it’s really beautiful and then at the end it says ‘With the nomination of Hillary Clinton, we’ve made it.’ And I was just like ‘Oh, God.’
“I was getting really upset in the beginning of the ad, where I’m like “I can’t believe she’s using the entire feminist struggle to say that everything that all these women have been fighting for is just all going to culminate in her.” That’s incredible entitlement. That’s incredible insane entitlement. Insane arrogance to take credit for basically, all of the hard work that all of the women organizers in this country have done, for generations and say that it’s all in support of her. It’s disgusting.

Much ado about nothing. You sure find some obscure, meaningless shit to be outraged about.

Sen. Sanders says he will vote for Hillary on Morning Joe. I thought I felt a tremor in 'The Force' this morning...
