| Structural beam in middle of listening room Great!I am glad the column isn't a problem.Do you have subs? If so, you could probably move the speakers forward even more. Who is GIK? | |

| Structural beam in middle of listening room Jferro, have you tried any of the positions yet?As far as the beam being distracting, I usually listen to music at night, preferrably with the lights off. That's when I can really 'see' the soundstage.I have a pair of columns delineating the LR an... | |
| Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd Yes, I deal mostly with Gerrit. He is very communicative and will help you as best he can. Should they not be able to ship to you, I would love to travel to Argentina. The speakers would be my luggage! | |
| Manley Chinook Okay folks, I understand both of your viewpoints, but, remember what it was like before the internet?You had to take the equipment to a dealer, have them ship it to the manufacturer, have the work done, then have it shipped back to the dealer, and... | |
| Music server A quick google for the manual says there is a RESTORE & UPDATE DVD. So, Cary should step up and give it to you.If they don't, I would definitely post your experience.Other than that, I would do what elberoth2 suggested or build your own serv... | |
| Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd You don't mention where you live. But, have you looked at Zu speakers?They are very efficient and they have models in your price range.Also, they have a trial period, which is a nice option to try them out. | |
| Structural beam in middle of listening room I am no sound specialist, but I suggest trying any combination that is possible.I, too, have an unusual listening situation and found my speaker placement to be 'unconventional', but it works.The structural beam may be a problem, but I would start... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? 57,20,?I had to abandon my hifi addiction when I turned 30 or so, and was stereo-less until last year. It was fun getting back to speed.I think my days of chasing the 'perfect system' have passed, but when I see a good deal and there's money in th... | |
| 1 pair of good interconnects- which 2 components should I use them on? Well, I hate to be an old poop, but I think you could do better than Monster Cables. In fact, if you can swing it ( and I know being a college student equals limited funding- I had student loans, too), I would convert everything to the Bluejeans-W... | |
| If a gear is dirt cheap, do you think it is no good? I like to try 'giant killers' in my system. I never had the financial means to afford pricey equipment, so I gravitate to smaller, lower priced manufacturers- though the internet now allow me greater access, thanks Audiogon.I agree with mofimadne... | |
| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! jzzmusician, you must be a really nice guy. I think your kids probably had a better childhood because of her-nothing like the continuity of generations in a household. In any case, now you can stream music through the internet and listen to anythi... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce russmaleartist, I don't think this post should be part of this discussion. If you feel the need to express your opinions regarding the transient nature of 'the best', you should create a new thread.Sinewave asked for our opinions regarding the Wil... | |
| Power cords everywhere! Will steel braid help protect audio signal? Are you experiencing any signal degradation or hum?I, too, have a rat's nest of wire, but, thankfully, haven't noticed anything that is degrading to the sound. |
