I listened to Beck's new album this morning, thought it was pretty lame. If I didn't know it was Beck I could never have guessed it was him. Sounded like boy band schlock.

Been listening to a bunch of Ghanaian High Life, old soul girl group stuff and a variety of Jamaican music.

I've got a pair of Klipsch Heresy I's in my stereo room right now on loan from a friend. They sound great. I think I might blow some money on Hi-Fi speakers and a tube amp soon. The guy who loaned them to me just traded one of his sets of La Scala's for a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls an they sound fucking amazing. The La Scala's sound bad next to them. Not sure if I'll buy Cornwalls or Heresy's. I wish I could get my hands on a pair of Heresy II's before I pull the trigger. kleinbl00 You were right to put the La Scala's into the shop, it was the right thing to do. The shop had become my friends speaker show room when he's trading. I've had La Scalas, Cornwalls, and Heresys in there now and will probably get some rad JBLs in soon. So far the Cornwalls have far in away blown the most minds.

I hadn't heard of Cornwalls. Now I need one.

I will totally build a home theater out of Klipschorns and a Cornwall. What did I do with those millions...

I haven't herd the Klipschorns in a good room yet only in a totally shitty listening situation I wasn't blown away. Maybe he'll drop a pair in the shop one day if he goes to trade the pair he has but I think he's holding onto them.

He had never heard Cornwalls before and didn't know what to expect. We were both surprised at how much better they were than any of the other Klipsch speakers we had listened to. At most you kind of expect to think you kind of like one or the other a little bit more but right off everyone who heard the La Scalas and the Cornwalls side by side was won over.
