These are all good. My favourite at the moment is 1 bottle of Jost limited edition dornfelder **....two bottles ***....this is unfiltered non-oaked. A silver metal winner..****, any good merlot, syrah ot cabernet foch****...as I've said before, my system sounds sooo good with dry reds,...enjoy, Bluenose

I like Ezmerelda's list of low cost tweaks (mainly involving your time and energy), but recommend a wool felt surround for tweeters (again if the design benefits from it). My addition will be leveling the CD player/transport (and turntables of course) as mentioned in another thread and checking it/them from time to time to adjust the level as needed.

I agree with Ezmeralda and Dekay... a few hours spent on speaker placement will pay great dividends. Also, an inexpensive set of Room Tunes works wonders. Guess I missed the spirit of the thread.
