I don't know what high-end speakers I would compare my modded LS-12's with. Not really high-end, but I would like to get my hands on some Sony ES or Pioneer Elite speakers and have a go.

Speakers I've had next to them have been Klipsch to Martin Logan. I'd take the damn Martin Logans.. I'm pushing the Sony ES - Cerwin Vega thing to its limit and moving on to a 2-channel system. Maybe something by Cambridge and some speakers that would make panties drop; if I was wearing some!

Snell speakers would be a close comparison, because I have Peerless of Denmark midrange speakers in my CV's. Peerless are in Snell cabinets, Dali, and even a couple CV's. Also older JBL's and only because I have a pair of LX55's that sing. The crossovers look like what I built for my LS-12's.

The biggest difference I have from high-end speakers are the cabinets. A big difference and many times the only difference in high-end speakers. Furniture is often sold as audio equipment to the more checkbook confident tone deaf audio over-doers. More power to you if you have great speakers in great furniture..

I'm not sure what sound is like at sea level, but us high folks got some sound. I'm seeing OHM, B&O, Dynaudio with Carver, Parasound, and McIntosh. I have nowhere to glote just like in here. You A-holes have some nice and crazy stuff.

I'm more of a Mad Dog 20/20 Peach's & Cream kind of guy in an alleyway before a show. My music choices are from chamber music to death metal and my other tastes include brunets. I'm pushing towards a Sony 5600ES and an ES 5-disc blu ray if they ever make one. Also reading up in here on home theaters.

I've been pushing 2-channel from my system with little attention to the HT. The center is gone, the subwoofer is gone, the rears need to be found within CV, and a room needs to be built.

What CV's replace Klipsch SF2's as rear channels?
What would you think of a complete mod of a CV HT-210C 2-channel center?
Are there any AC fans in here?
What Sony ES amplifiers are recommended?
