When I gave up the stick and brick in the states I sold the system. For the life of me I have never heard anything since to compare with it. But now my hearing is bad which is probably good for my audio budget. Mr. Klipsch himself sold the speakers to me at a S.F. demo show at the Cow Palace. I had to purchase a commercial vacuum tube checker because there were so many tubes. In the summer months my living room got too hot with the heat emitted. I loved the speaker control knobs on the right side of the cabinets. But I remember the sting of the price of records and the runaround associated with diamond cartridge needle care and cotton gloves handling the records.
