Hi Fi House liquidation
Nice. I get an email w/an invoice and a 2-day payment requirement without any info on wiring funds to them. Still no help from them on the shipping either. Awesome customer service!Total joke.

So I won three things (power cords, speaker cables). Now I have to figure out how to get them into my hands... Oh well, we'll see what happens. 
Hi Fi House liquidation
So I contacted the auction house about assistance with shipping and was told they aren't offering any. They said they have too many items and can't handle the workload. I guess that I will have to hire a packer/shipper if I win anything.Anyone in ... 
Hi Fi House liquidation
Agreed, I registered and was an approved bidder. Could figure out how to make a bid. Lot's of junk.As an Fyi, HiFi House is a 3 store B&M operation located near my house. They're gone now. Not many left.Bifwynne: you need to go to bidspotter a... 
Time for some new speakers
Not sure of your price range, but the Vivid speakers are both pleasing to look at and hear. I had a chance to hear the B1 model and they were very, very good. They are also very expensive at $15k. Vivid has smaller versions available at a lower pr...

I'm wondering if any of their demo gear is up for sale...Buncha Wilson speakers, Audio Research, etc. sold today.

Their live bid software doesn't seem to support mobile devices so I lost interest today on that. Stuff was going pretty cheaply though from the limited amount of items I watched sell. Never could get logged in even though my account worked fine fr... 
Why Merlins sound better then Sonus Faber
Bobby,How do the Merlins do with less than perfect positioning (due to WAF)? Specifically, how about 3' from the back wall? 
Vivid Audio G3/G4 vs Rockport Atria Loudspeakers
I recently had the opportunity to listen to the Vivid B-1 in my home using an all Luxman audio front end (class A 30wpc integrated amp powering it all). If the G3 or G4 are better than the B-1's you have something. The B-1's were spectacular. My l... 
on the desktop?
Eclipse has some very interesting desktop monitors now. I heard them in my wife's home office when we were hosting Philip O'Hanlon of "On a Higher Note".Really nice. Active monitors with a built in 192/24 dac, wireless, and usb input. They produce... 
Cleaning lady and vacuum
Funny, I was just thinking the same thing as I want to move my speakers further out into the room... I like the granite block stands, but I still have visions of the speakers I'd like to get (Vivid B-1's) taking a header. After hearing a pair of t... 
Best imaging and sounding bookshelf speaker
ATC SCM-19?http://www.atcloudspeakers.co.uk/hi-fi/loudspeakers/hifi-passive-series/scm19/ 
Full-range recommendations
ATC-SCM40's? They are very revealing speakers though. Silk dome tweeter and a magnificent domed midrange. They reach down lower than their specifications would lead you to believe.As far as 'warm' speakers, I'm surprised no one has suggested a B&a... 
Having trouble with sound deadening
Audyssey XT32 has a low frequency filter that can be applied to minimize those bass notes that easily disturb people in neighboring rooms.If you get a AVR or Pre/Pro with the XT32 in it (not the regular Audyssey, it has to be the XT32), it may hel... 
BD Player Oppo and UpConversion
The surround sound codecs in the newer Blu-ray discs aren't supported by your Integra 7.9 is my guess. Therefore, run analog 7.1 (or 5.1) to your Integra for the audio signal is my suggestion. The video can go via hdmi directly to your Elite.
