I'm in love [don't tell my wife]

I have been upgrading, tweeking my 2 channel system this summer. I'm not finished but boy am I happy. The two biggest changes, amp and speakers. Out, an Adcom 555II and Dahlquist DQ10s. In, Bel Canto's M300s and Klipsch RF7IIs. I ran the old set up for about six years and was very satisfied but felt a need for change. I'm still not sure how I wound up with the Klipsch, I've had Cornwalls and KG4s in the past but they didn't last. I like enough about horn speakers that I couldn't pass up a great deal on the 7s. Paired with the 150wpc M300s I'm in heaven. I listen primarily to jazz with some rock, blues, and country rock thrown in. This system does everything well. The drawback on the speakers is their size, proper placement can be a challenge. Still, to come a squeezebox and dac/pre. I tried the Emotiva XDA-1. It was OK but didn't add anything over my Adcom pre. I'll try a Bel Canto next and I'm pretty sure I'll like it. I tried to save some money but it didn't work out. I feel lucky that for a realitively small amount of money I have a system that I love and can listen to for hours a day. It helps to be retired! Oh and my wife is happy too.

It's lust and it will, in time, flame out and you will chase some other audio tail.

Congrats on enjoying the set-up! I love my Klipsch speakers and haven't look back since I switch them the horns. With the right electronics, they perform unlike anything else, and my father-in-law who has a pair of LSi15s still says wow every time he comes over to listen; "They sound so clear and detailed."
