@6t5-gto ,

I bought The Police box. Sounds great at last hearing. 

Soft spot for GITM !

My issue with the "Local Hero" from Abbey Road,  

No soundstage spread at all.

Recently got the Mark Knopfler box.  So far, 3 titles in, Love it!!!

 

 

 

I’ve listened to the first 3 titles in the Knopfler box and I’m very impressed @sbank .

Another surprise,

Hey Tim! 

You back renewed with another group I never heard of. I expect nothing less.😉

Ok, so another EAT huh? That says you're impressed with your other one?

Tom Petty "Hypnotic Eye" 

2014/Reprise/Bernie Grundman 

Dbl lp with 3 music sides

I agree about the great job done on the TP Vol 1 box. It's definitely the best way to aquire all his early albums. 

Regarding "DTT".....I have the ORG pressing with bonus tracks that is superior to the box set copy.

Lp1 is  self titled......on now 

I recently experienced a similar situation at my music friend’s house. He bought a pair of Dirty Weekends and has placed them in a very compromised room. They are very close together as well. After raising them up and tilting them up in front significantly, these speakers disappear. They just aren’t "all that" in terms of high fidelity.  Hence their name?

I know what you mean Brian. Same with my system through the years. All my room treatments were compared in a variety of configurations based on listening. When I’’ve looked at your system page, I thought the speakers seemed too close together. Then, I didn’t know if it was an aesthetic compromise but I’ve never heard those speakers either.

Cake "Fashion Nugget "

2022/Sony

It’s nice to finally have my Cake and listen too, on vinyl.

Brian,

When I switched from my Usher Mini Ones to the Twos, I only had to bring them forward 3/4". 

Actually, the BE 718s we're in the same plane.

We work within the parameters we have. Though that isn’t to say it will be best sounding.

I think if there were no lifestyle restraints, speakers will mostly sound better out from the front wall. One has to take into consideration of the particular speaker design of course.

Good to know from a trusted friend. 

BTW. Have a Schiit Freya+ on the way. Highly configurable.

The MT album is a highly enjoyable bluegrass record with plenty of great talent contributing.
