| After nearly 20 years, I left Magnepan and went ProAc I ment earlier you should move closer | |
| After nearly 20 years, I left Magnepan and went ProAc Oh and loose the spikes until they are very well broken in. Someone mentioned the Herbies gliders, they work a treat and they're cheap, and make it way easier to move them around | |

| Adventures in Table Shopping My experience as a salesperson years ago was I'd be glad to help answer your questions if you're in the market, even if and especially not today. But I'd get folks that just seemed to need a friend or well audiophiles can be a bit ... eccentric, y... | |

They hit it so hard they fractured about 10 inches of the Carbon Composite Shell.. Then they tried to deny my claim saying it ... | |
