Quatro Wood setup help

Have the Quatro CT's myself and love them.  Tomic is great at set ups...;). Let us know how it goes. 

I have a pair of Thunder cables on order.  RV may have changed his feelings on that. Not sure, but I'll ask.  Garth's new AQ cords need a special Furetch plug on the amp side as the other one is too big and won't fit. lol. Won't change the sound at all.  It's also a TOP plug.  I use Hurricane for my Niagara, The Memory Player server/DAC and Ayre AX5/20 that has the high pass filter built in. I"ll be selling that soon to someone who owns a Vandy and wants the crossover built right in (Ayre did this for me and worked with Richard V to do it right).  

Put your outlets in upside down.  That helps greatly with the leverage of the heavy plugs.  I also use a piece of wood on the floor to the plug to hold it up, lol. :). CHEAP audiophile tweak. 

All dealers are different.  I paid Johnny $500 to come 2.25 hours with one helper to unbox, set up and tune my system.  They were here for at least 5 hours as they were meticulous in setting up the bass in a tough tough room.  

I'll have a buddy come over to install my 3" granite plinths next week when they are done, lol.

Thanks SOOO much.  My crossover is built into the Ayre AX5/20.  I know they worked with Richard to figure out what they needed to do.  Rutan came to set up and did a great job. Took a bit, but was fun to watch.  He has them in the corners of the room and it gives a large soundstage. I don't feel there is suck out in the middle, but the depth of the soundstage isn't want I had with the Treo's that were a few feet from the back all and sides.  I'm thinking of possibly trying that out but can't move things on my own so I can't just try one out and go back if I don't like it.  I trust Johnny of course, so I'm probably going to just keep them where they are.

I wish I was better at set up.  Good ears, but I've always been a poor set up person, lol.  Jim, do you have yours in the corner of the room?

I have a Bosch laser measure that I use.  I assume that's what the D1 does?  I'm thinking of keeping them in the corners as they are now. I had some more depth with the Treo set up that Bob saw, but Johnny does know what he's doing.  I need to get the Hunter Douglas acoustic shade for the side window and the back wall smaller one.  That will be a start.  I think Richard said that with the 3" granite, so add the rest of the 4 washers to the rear spike.  That sounds about right I would think.

That's a good question.  Jim?

Great info guys and thanks.  I know I'm set up properly.  Thi sis why I'm still scared to install the plinth's when they are done, lol.  Richard said no cones, just put on the carpet.  

My friend did a ton of testing with all isolation devices and different types of isolation work better than others with folded cabinets and others better with milled ones.  He didn't do anything with speakers, but they are closer to a milled block of metal.  Some companies want to charge a lot of money for special isolation platforms for speakers, but I've spoken with many who have auditioned them and felt they did no better than what we are all talking about. Many use maple blocks.  I have a full woodshop and was thinking about asking my wood guy (we all have to have a guy) to cut me a rough set of slabs that would fit my components.  I'd then have him dry in the kiln or possibly let em air dry to whatever % water I wanted and then mill them up and .....  not worth it right now, lol.
