Low-Profile Turntable
OK, I'm not explaining myself very well here (my bad).I have a 54" plasma TV that is mounted on an Avion A/V cabinet via a bracket. This allows the TV to be "suspended" 9" from the cabinet's top (that is, the TV does not sit on the cabinet). The t... 
Low-Profile Turntable
The 7" height restriction (including dust cover) would be when not in use. Once the dust cover removed, I would have a total of 9" which should provide enough clearance for placing an LP on the turntable provided the turntable platter is low.So fa... 
Transporter vs Linn DS players
I did compare the two and found the Linn Sneaky DS superior to the Logitech Transporter (at roughly the same price). Not everyone may agree with Linn's philosophy but it does make sense that source comes first since you can't get back what you hav...

Anybody heard the new Linn Majik 140 speakers?
I heard these with Linn gear in Aktiv mode and the improvement over the Linn Ninka is very noticeable. Very nice speakers. 
Floorstanding Speakers - 12'x14' Room
Yes, my Linn Katan monitors are in an Aktiv configuration. However, to my ears, I feel that these speakers are not delivering the full dynamic range that my sources are capable of retrieving. Even with the subwoofer, bass seems to be lacking.Also,... 
Floorstanding Speakers - 12'x14' Room
Last night I received my new furniture for my 12' x 14' living room. As it turns out, the furniture is quiet bulky leaving no room for floor standing speakers, especially if I would need adequate room to make them breath.Therefore, I'm back at a p... 
Floorstanding Speakers - 12'x14' Room
Sorry, I meant that the left speaker will be about 1.5' from the side wall since, as I mentioned, the right side of the room does not have a side wall. 
B&W 803S Speakers
James63, do you think that the 805s would require a subwoofer in my 12' x 14' room? If so, what would you recommend?

Speaker Help Required
