Skeptic or just plain hard headed
What if I told you power cables make tremendous differences in sq, and require burn in / break in time. All products require it. Lots of articles / threads about that. Enjoy ! MrD. 
KLIPSCH Heritage speakers .
I am the ONE. The Forte was never an " original " Heritage model. The 5 original Heritage models : Klipschorn, Belle, Lascala, Cornwall and Heresy were the originals, and these 5 were designed by PWK. The Forte was marketed later as a Heritage mod... 
Got a pair of JBL 240Ti - mint condition, very nice.
Tell the wife to get over it, as they bring you much enjoyment. She married you for better, or worse. Show here pictures and photos of other speakers ( this is a great site to show her ). She would probably want small bookshelf speakers or very sl... 
My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
I know cars a while back needed to be driven slower for the 1st 1000-1500 miles, as recommended from the manufacturer. My 2018 CRV had no stipulations of such, although I drive the speed limit, and rarely above. I have found, in my 50 years of aud...

mikepaul, I am 20 minutes south of Daytona and a 4 hr. drive north of wc. My lights have started to dim, and my system has lost all of its bass, as I am assuming his Block monos, with the Shunyata cables, are sucking up all of the juice throughout... 
Klipsch Heritage vs Zu audio
Khorns, updated and tweaked, in excellent corners, of an excellent room ( inclusive of the listening chair) , with excellent and proper associated equipment, will sound absolutely excellent, and imo, and ime, are hard to beat, with all kinds of mu...

" I happened upon them accidently ". I would love to hear the story. What about them does the wife hate ? Looks ( w/o grills ), sound, size. Are they better than what you have now ? Enjoy ! MrD.

WC, that is awesome.

Look at the number of pcs at or under $200., all claiming excellent wire, connectors, build and engineering construction. I have listened to quite a number, and each and everyone is different, and some, better than others ( all in my system ) I ha... 
New Klipsch Cornwalls anybody hear them?
A match made in heaven, but would recommend listening to them first. Enjoy! MrD.

techno, I was at a buddys home some months back during the summer time, and we did a power cord shoot out between several top power cords, including the Shunyata Alpha. We both preferred the Audioquest Hurricane. It was tighter, faster, more exten...

I am not a car guy like wc, so maybe my analogy will not be good or understood. High speed cars do better with appropriate tires. Use ordinary tires, the car's performance goes down. For years I have been hot wiring heavier gauge power cords to so... 
Passive preamp to a power amp?
The Saga has a much better volume control design over the Sys. FWIW, in my opinion, a very audible improvement. Worth the $ difference if you want to extract more detail and information out of the system ( this is assuming going passive works for ...

WC, if the supplied power cords that came with the Block amps are not at least 12 gauge ( which I do not believe they are ), that alone, when you change them out, could be attributable to any improvement you will hear. You are starving them. Uh OH... 
I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why.
prof, glad it worked out.....Enjoy ! MrD.
