| speaker placement help With your head against the back wall, you will experience some doubling of some frequencies - usually a significant increase in treble and sometimes a mid bass boost. If that sounds better, then no problem. But if you find the midrange lost a litt... | |
| Cary SLP98 vs. Rogue 99 Magnum I have a 99 magnum with Bryston 7B-ST's. Match made in heaven. I haven't heard the Cary. | |

| What is the best speaker cable for Maggies 3.6? I use Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun with my 3.6's. I like it a lot. Our systems share the Ikemi. | |

| Great CDP with No volume control Try a used Meridian 508-24 (make sure it's not an upgrade from a 508-20) or a Linn Ikemi. Both are terrific. I've owned the Meridian and now own the Ikemi. No volume controls...both ran through tube preamps. | |
