Thanks! I will look into Zu speakers. I was thoroughly enjoying Gary Moore's last recorded performance, at Montreaux, on a fairly recently released blue ray using my digital Sony amp (I'm set up to use either my analog amp or my digital amp through any of four sets of speakers via a switching system) and was, again, transported by the sustain and power of the upper registers of the Les Paul through a pair of Marshall stacks. I play a little guitar, myself. I first tripped to the quality of the Eminence speakers when I found that they were the speaker of choice that Fender used (voiced to their specs) in their "Jazz king" and "Steel King" solid state amps. The Eminence Legend 15" in a tuned cabinet makes for a great jazz speaker, coupled with my tube amps. Here's a photo of one of my cabs...
I'm still stuck on the problem of properly re-creating my sound stage and listening area. This thread, and reading here, has given me new thoughts and new urges to make the changes. It has been too easy for a long time to just close my eyes, lean back in my recliner and enjoy the sound, though it seems a bit above me. Kinda like looking uphill at a stage! I'm thinking I will first try adding a second pair of speakers and maybe a sub-woofer to change the position of the sound stage. Almost anything I can do to improve that will be easier than changing my living area. Again, thanks for the input and the speaker tips, gents!
