Everclear Wonderful

Welcome @Fernando Achiary, I love my NHT speakers. I progressed from the 2.5s and 2.5i’s to the 2.9’s then to the massive 3.3’s powered by a RAM 285. I absolutely love the sound of this pairing.

Always liked "Art for Arts Sake". Sitting with your kids - perfect Fathers Day weekend.

So, sitting here with my kids listening to 10cc How Dare You! Very interesting album! Sounds fantastic in my main rig!

Such a fantastic album.

My daily dose. The Rippingtons, Black Diamond (album)

That's a great price.

Acoustic Alchemy, Roseland (album)

I do have the Klipsch AW-650 (White) on our upper deck. They are significantly better than the Boston Acoustics Voyager 2 that they replaced. I wanted a bit more bass so I added an OSD Forza - 8 passive sub. The Forza is just 'okay'. I selected it because of price and it had speaker wire in AND out. I should have gone with a 10" sub, at least. There is a big difference in sensitivity between the Forza (lower) and the Klipsch. I had an in wall pot so I wired the them so the pot controls the Klipsch - allowing more power to go to the sub. This allowed me to get 'more' bass (from the sub) at volume. I recently replaced my Polk Audio Atrium Sat300 - they were about 13 years old. They really didn't hold up well, fully exposed in the flower beds in the front of our house. I bought a pair of OSD Forza 6.5" Landscape Speakers. They have a few nice (included) options for ground mounting. These are a huge upgrade from the Polks (even when new). OSD is mostly a commercial brand so their speakers have a built in transformer. You can drive them with a stereo amp or a Voltage amp. Each speak has an 8" Sonance CRKW Rock Subwoofer. I had bought these when they were on sale 20 years ago and the still sound great. (They have been painted three different colors over the years)

I have had the polks for a good while and have enjoyed them but I have never had anything else to compare them to?

I heard the Dirty Weekend at an audio show a few years ago. Pretty impressive for entry level. Not sure if they still make them.

Thanks

@AndrewJohn, you could do these yourself. While not difficult, it is a time consuming task. Going to be very similar job as I did on my MG 1's. Process would be the same. The buzzing is likely either coil loops lifted, hole/s in the mylar film or a combo of both. To fix any holes in the mylar; you need some mylar tape (Scotch brand), 3M 77 spray adhesive (to hold down the tape and wires) and some Milloxane or 3M Fastbond (to seal the repairs). Definitely doable.

Thanks. Not really, just changing them sometimes, depending of the season.😊 Of course, if I just want to rock the house, I will plug the Zu !

Eric Clapton & BB King Hold On, I'm Coming

I have two pairs of the Klipsch AW 650’s. I love them. I’ve got them powered by a small Fosi amp, they sound great. Painted them to match my siding. Picked up a second set last fall for$75.

I have the polk atrium 8's outside on my patio..., they are OK, and I too updated from Niles, to the Polks, so they were an improvement. But from others I've asked, (I think @itchitch has the Klipsch, too), I will go with the Klipsh, probably this or next year.

Nice inventory!!! Do you use a different speaker for a specific type of music?
