Thanks for the replies. I've been holding off on posting because I'm not buying anything until after Christmas. Probably Feb or March. In the middle of a remodel right now. I was SUPPOSE to be able to upgrade the speakers with the remodel money....but you know how that goes. I just got some of my old equipment set up in the new living room and been playing with the set up. New floors, drywall, doors, so a new sound. So far I lean towards the ascends and the arx's. Not much to look at though(the whole reason I was given the green light to upgrade, lol). The arx's scare me, not sure I'd like that tweeter. Going from a horn to a planar? One day I'll do an all inclusive post on suggestions based on room, listening preferences, current equipment, and budget. I'm kind of starting look at aesthetics a little more. I go back and forth every few weeks on which my favorite is. I know I need to demo, but I'm sure I'll be sticking with id brands. Plus I don't live too close to a good store. One nearby shut down a few years ago, and the other actually stocks very little. At least the last time I was in there. I would have to drive to Houston(about a 2hr drive). And then I'd probably be listening to speakers I wouldn't be buying. Kind of feel bad for the salesmen, lol. It would be good to get an idea of what I like, but it sure would be time consuming. I've owned Klipsch all my adult life. Went and maxed out the card in '95 at 19, lol. Just couldn't help myself. I'm ready to move on to something new, plus wife can't stand the Klipsch's. They hurt her ears she says. I always liked them, but I pretty much listened to hard rock at max volume. Not anymore.
