New Guy asking for help

thanks guys! I'm starting to get a handle on this and that from your advise here and there and it seems the bottom line is i have to rethink everything. or did i miss something?

Interestingly enough, I was pondering the very same subjective/objective conundrum just yesterday. I changed it from that side to this side, swapped out those, completely changed from the other (although it was secondary) and just ordered the cryo'd version today. That's the real crux of it all, you need the cryo'd version.

Good luck & remember, "Just do it".

This is this and that is that and never the twain shall meet.I'd listen to this friend's system and that friend's system and objetivly ask yourself what you do and don't like(your friends won't be pressuring you to buy to collect a commission)). Please remember that you do not listen to this price tag or that brand logo;you listen to the music.

Use "that" cable and you will be audio nirvana

I would start by getting a floor to go with your usual sized room and ceiling otherwise speaker placement will be tricky.
