Proac Rake angle?
Thanks everyone for your responses. Williewonka, I emailed proac and Stewart replied and advised not to tilt, and  to get a more ideal seat.  Will do.  On a side note, I will say that these have truly started to sound magical.  FINALLY.  I was wor...

An update. The speakers have about 375 hours on them.  They are really starting to come into their own. It's amazing how detailed they are without being bright.  The detail is really at the edges and not "force fed" like the Maggie's. the proacs h...

I think I may have found the most ideal placement in my less than ideal room. I went with a diagnal placement and the soundstage exploded. As well, the response is much smoother. Not perfect, but much better. It is so much better than the short or... 
Revel 105 vs Nola Boxer
I listened to the Nola boxer, briefly. They are excellent. However, I found a slightly fatiguing lower treble on them . They are extremely clear and an overall great performer and would still try to listen to them if possible.  I also listened to ...

Jperry-what a beautiful system!! Are your speakers on the long or short wall? Mine are currently on the short wall in the dimensions above. My room is a bonus room above the garage. The floor is carpet over suspended plywood. The walls are drywall...

This is is going to be harder than I thought.  Right now these are in a smaller room 13.75x16x75. It's been a few days now, and I've been fiddling with placement. These are dynamos.  They are getting 550 Watts a side, and The midbass is too strong...

Sfall - that's pretty smart!

Gnostalgick-Thanks. They will need some finessing to harness the sound from them. I’m using a an arc ds450 with them, and it is immensely powerful with a 90db efficient speaker. 550 wpc into 4 ohms-I needed it for the Maggies, not so sure it’s nec...

Iistened to the vandy quatro the same day, and they were amazing in their own right, don't recall if the were the wood CT version, but the proacs literally brought me to tears.  That was it for me.  Had to to throw them in the bag.   
Looking at sub $200 power cables.
I love my synergistic research UEF BLACK cables. A little more money than your stated budget, but if you can stretch it, they are fantastic performers. Excellent separation, transparency, and create a very engaging sound. They really bring out the... 
Importance of quality of coax cable feeding a DIP
I got my 1.5 meter brand new, from a fellow that bought it an never used it, hence he didn't need it. I took it off his hands for 100.00. I think new, with bnc it's about 190. I am still in my honeymoon phase with the dh labs. I'm loving it.  It m... 
Importance of quality of coax cable feeding a DIP
Auxinput,After researching, it seemed like the Bnc cable was the best, and that aes/ebu would not provide as optimal sound.  As an example,http://www.jeffchan.com/audio/consumer-daif.html 
Importance of quality of coax cable feeding a DIP
Aux input, the dh labs is 1.5 meters, and the silver serpent is 1meter.  The cold bright  sound (which btw I didn't even know I had) has been replaced with a very smooth, and palpable sound with rock solid imaging, and a larger soundstage. . I do ...
