@slaw did you get the Cake box set or just Fashion Nugget? After the discussion about the Talking Heads last night I was able to find a copy of Remain in Light on Rhino pressed in Germany. I typically hate the quality of Rhino's vinyl as it is often very noisy but this one is pretty decent. Low End is still rolled off kinda hard |
@slaw thank you Sir, I appreciate that. However, from what people are all telling In the meantime, I’ve got plans for tonight.

Yep, in terms of placement from the ‘front’ wall, the Treo’s are about the same as the 2CE’s. Jim kept getting trying to get me to move them closer to the wall, I tried, but lost all center imaging when I did so. Moved them out into the room more like the 2CE’s and center imaging came right back. Only tells ya that all rooms are different. I discussed this on the Vandy forum and Richard Vandersteen agreed, once you find the correct speaker placement within a room, the general ‘sweet spot’ rarely changes regardless of the speaker (Maggie’s might be the exception). |
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? |
It’s interesting Steve, but I actually mover them even closer together, (probably closer to 3~4” vs 2), yet, the overall stage has became wider and provided a better overall stage. Yea, I kept wanting to spread them wider apart too….but….every room is different and constraints within every room can be too, especially as my listening room is a living room. Thus, I’m not sure there is only one way to accomplish the same thing, depending. I know Jonny R at Audio Connection spreads ‘his’ Vandersteen’s very wide apart,(and suggested I do the same as well), extremely wide apart actually, but, problem is, I cannot do that in my room. Thus my solution to accomplish a better stage is actually the reverse. I guess if the issue can be resolved either way, that’s most important. Just listening to the differences and improvement is the key. I’ve moved the Treo’s, (and the 2CE’s prior), around a lot over time, but would say the variables are 6” total, max. At the end of the day, the room tells you what sounds best. |
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. |
Tweaking my speaker placement today. I’ve been feeling like the soundstage wasn’t going beyond the outer edges of the speakers themselves enough, and too much between. Decreased the overall spread between about 2”. Then readjusted for equal level. Much better now. Never ceases to Amaze how such small changes can make such a big impact on the overall stage in filling the room more naturally, wider, and making the speakers ‘disappear’. |
I don’t usually mix genres during a day, but need some classical in my ears for a bit 😉 Opening up my 2nd unusual Korean box set of ‘The Great Classical Music of The World’ series today. Jupiter box No. 12 Karl Böhm conducts Mozart - Flute Concerto No. 1 in G major, K. 313 & Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra in C major, K. 299. Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra w/Werner Tripp, flute / Wolfgang Schultz, flute / Nicanor Zabaleta, harp. Deutsche Grammophon

@bkeske if you can find the white (Vol 1) Tom Petty box set it is well worth it. I have all of them as an original pressing and picked up the box and they did a great job on the remastering and the vinyl is very very good. The Damn the Torpedoes from the box kills my O/P |
I wish you a full and speedy recovery @j_husker . |
me, there is no “speedy recovery” from a total joint replacement.
