Diagonal setup of system...
I am brutally stupid when it comes to things like standing waves and the like. I just hook it up, do this and that and hope it works. However, I have been doing some research on diagonal setups and I don't seem to find nearly as much info as I can... 
Need better bass from Silverline Sonata
I have Panatella II and I have a similar situation. They do wonders with mids and highs, but there low end isn't always there. I believe it has something to do with the way the speaker is built. They are very narrow and I think this is what makes ... 
Cable management
What racks out there come with cable management? Thedautch, any ideas? 
What do You listen to?
Before it goes further, I don't mean to insult anyone's taste in music. I myself have the entire Black Sabbath catalogue on CD. Is Sabbath Christian, Satanic or other? Who knows? Even still, does anyone remember when Ozzy was scarey?As for aggress... 
What do You listen to?
Audiophanatik, your music selection is made up of alot of "in your face" stuff. I am thinking you are an SS man, right? Loud and proud. I can dig it. Yeah, I'm hip to the scene. 
What do You listen to?
What is the difference between Rap and HipHop? Have you ever followed a Metallica Cd with a Britney Spears? Is Santana blues? What is breakbeat? What, no Christian metal? As for classical, it is well known that Bach was a big mosher in his day.Edu... 
Elvis and CCR
I have found two CCR live recordings, unless they are the same recording with two different titles. However, I now remember that the live recording I heard on the radio was Creedence at Woodstock, but I have not seen it for sale anywhere. 
What was your greatest epiphany?
Sean, interesting post. Can you elaborate on the tube and SS amps that brought your epiphany? I am very interested in the SS amp that beat the tube amp. 
How many CD/LPs do you need?
Kinsekd, you have me pegged right. I am one of the guys that lives on minimalistic attributes. In fact, people often come over to my house and wonder if I am going poor because I almost have nothing around. It is very funny. Dekay, I have the same... 
For Vandersteen 2Wq users.
One more questions. Since the Vandy is wired in a parallel method, along with the mains and only samples the source, does this also mean that if my amp is not producing good low frequencies, then the Vandy won't push those frequencies, either? In ... 
For Vandersteen 2Wq users.
This is interesting information that needs to be seriously considered. The Vandersteen has a great reputation, but it seems to be a bit on the demanding side to get it to sound its best. And when it comes to building or wiring anything for myself,... 
Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why?
Mel Schacher, Grand Funk Railroad, for power and muscle. If you haven't had a chance to listen to any Grand Funk Railroad, get E Pluribus Funk. It has the hit Footstompin' Music, but that it is not the song to judge the bass playing on this set.Bi... 
Masking tape: speaker setup trick...
Dang, Bigkidz, I didn't think of that. Oh well, I have an entire roll left. Maybe I will do that next weekend, but for now, it was a good time tweaking. 
Help: low Maintenance Tube Amp short list.
Bin, thanks for the tip. I looked up the Aronov LS960 and on paper the numbers add up for me. That one goes on my short list. 
Help: low Maintenance Tube Amp short list.
Zaikesman, I have a small listening room. My system consists of Decware preamp, two no-name 60wpc tube amps(low quality), Pioneer DVD player as transport, Bel Canto Dac, audioquest cables, and a pair of Silverline Panatella II speakers. I recently...
