24 Crazy-Ass Hi-Fi Systems

Think you got your spelling wrong? Should it have read “Hart Audio Anal pleasure?”

Not my spelling, those from the marketing dep of that brand. I just copy/paste...

I like the look of this new body design over crazy ass HiFi...

... could be worth exploring from a design aspect, although unsure how these would go on the Klippel. Of course all new speaker designs need a gentle, attentive and hands on approach, crazy ass or not.

“Some fell on stony ground!”

That myth probably comes more from the fact that the low power class A valve amps clip into normal speakers so sound less crap on horns.
I have a pair of 109dB/watt Tune Audio Animas and whilst they work fine with a valve amp I am using a 100+ wpc Job INTegrated amp with them mostly. Super sensitive speakers are not kind to amps that aren’t super quiet.

When my friend had Klipsch La Scala's at his place he was powering them with a Bryston 4B3 amp and I-forget-which-solid-state-preamp.

It sounded terrific. Super quiet, no hiss, clean and dynamic. No need for tubes.

Sounded terrific?
Terrifically loud I'd understand.

I have owned La Scalas, K-horns, Cornwalls, and even Heresys... all were of the EV-T35A and alnico Atlas mid driver vintage. Heck as a kid I built a pair of Belle Klipsch clones using Speakerlab parts. I really love the legend and appreciate the designs, but I could never adapt to the nonlinearities inherent in all of these speakers.

These probably sound better.
