All I know is I’m thankful for my brothers here, new and old, and what they’ve taught me about audio all these years. I wouldn’t be where I am now without them or this forum. I’ve laughed with most and cried with many and I couldn’t imagine my life without them.
Agree! All I can say is that I haven't been on long enough!
Then how did you accumulate 8100 posts?

While taking a nap you have this dream that your just reading some posts and all of a sudden, one long time member attacks another long time member that turns into the most brutal verbal attacks ever seen here.

Stacking SDA's? I remember at a certain Carverfest, we did that just for S'ts and G'les. 2-1.2TL's stacked one upon another....or something like that. It was just as stupid as having 3 Carver speakers side by side in stereo.
Platinum, ALS and then a AL3 for one channel...in stereo. Sounded like crap for a purist but was a once in a lifetime experience for those that were there. Closest thing to an actual concert that one could have without actually being at said concert.
I was lucky enough to experience both.
Well, that and a Polk speaker experience that many will NEVER hear. I forget what speakers but it was with good gear. Outside on a deck that overlooked the mountains. Nothing on each side of the speakers. 4 feet away from the speakers as if we were nearfeild.
To this day, I have never heard such a good sound stage.....and I have heard well over million dollar systems.

In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.

Knowing you......I do NOT doubt your experience. It was the same for me.
Sometimes it's not about the gear or money. It's about the "magic".
I am planning on making a thread about just that soon. I just need to gather my thoughts on the subject.
Good to hear from you again bro'!

Ok then; have you ever done this? That's a pair of klh 12's on top of those 2.3s.
Now that. That right there. That's crazy.
KLH 12s were pretty beefy loudspeakers (and not all that common, either).
Lol; that was about 15 years ago and I hoisted those heavy buggers up there alone; contour boxes and all. That's something I'm no longer capable of or have the desire to attempt. I had forgotten all about doing that till this thread and I started looking back at the nonsensical setups that I tried in the past. That one has to be the worst configuration.
I don't feel quite so bad now though knowing that I'm not the only one to have ventured into stacking sda's.
I remember being here under 2 different posting names, but after numerous issues signing on the first time, just gave up for a year or so.....
The 2nd time, Ken S hugely tried to help me, but to no avail, and came back again as this name.
But never was banned as some had surmised, but just a casualty of the forum software.
So a total of about 10 years, but under 3 names, but can not remember the first 2 at all, and found MOST older posts are gone anways...
