This is what it's all about.

Nice. This channel is the go to place for interesting but (usually) affordable gear. I’ve become convinced that a reasonable way to go is to put one’s money into speakers and much less into electronics. Now the question is which modestly priced amplification. There’s very helpful info here for that decision.

Thank you for sharing those thoughts.

I like it.🫶

I'm going to get a pair of these Klipsch. wonderful

[@drde4010]

It may seem odd but I listen to them more than my Forte’s. I have a very close chemistry with these Heresy’s.

How does the Aretha compare to the Kenny Russel Pas preamp?

[@drde4010]

Honestly I love them both and wouldn't part with either. One particular thing I do like about Kenny's PAS is the bass tone control because with the Aretha you sometimes have to set the bass twice as far to achieve the same bass. Regardless, both are absolutely fantastic and although not audible with the Aretha against the Nobsound passive preamp, both the Aretha and PAS3 have a beautiful tubey, open, airy sound. The PAS cost is several hundred dollars less. Both Holger and Kenny do beautiful work.
