speaker choice for new 20x30 audio room
carzmaguy88,   Intuition led me to a pair of Dali  Helikon 400's. They were so musical I looked into upgrading within the brand. I scored a pair of Euphonia MS5's. Completely blew me away. (I've tri-wired them). I'm in Vancouver WA, if you'r... 
Should I upgrade my TT wiring?

The great Don Everly has left us.
My best friend is his cousin. She finally got to meet him earlier this summer. So sad...I know what we'll all be playing today. 
Need help placing a second subwoofer.
M-dbI can’t believe it, but that’s where I purchased my first ’high end’ M&K system back in the 80’s. Jonas Miller Sound! They put on ’School’ by Supertramp, and when that kid screams, it scared the crap  out of me, so I bought their best syst... 
Need opinions on duping CD's
Thanks Mahler123 for answering my question.The dupe sounds incredible. I did an A/B listen test and my oldears couldn't tell the difference. 
Need help placing a second subwoofer.
Excellent, thanks! I think I'll start experimenting...But by what I'm hearing, the main sub shouldn't be front and center like mine is, but closer to the main speakers and probably lightly forward because of time delays of the lowest frequencies, ... 
Listening to digital and analog
When I'm feeling lazy I play CD's, as I then have more control with the remote.When I'm serious, I'll clean an album and play that. Both sound excellent on my system.I'll never forget the first time my (then) 20 year old daughter picked up the ton...

What Makes your System Special?
I got lucky with my listening room. 14' vaulted ceilings. 20'X24'. But the cool part is a 6'wX4'd cut out in the center of the wall that houses my gear. My Dali Euphonia MS5 speakers have better sound stage depth because of the cut out. The other ... 
HELP! Large speakers fell over during shipping.
Sale concluded peacefully and fairly for both parties. He suggested a new slightly lower price and I accepted. Lovely, almost scary powerful sound when cranked. Not quite as musical as my Dali Helicon 400's, but close. I've heard these at someone ...
