Do you know of small speakers that sound ''BIG'' ?
Totems - probably all of them, but I have personal experience with Mani-2s and Sttafs, and also, GMA Europa are worth mentioning. The Sttafs don't qualify based on your criteria as they are floor standers; however I would point out that Sttafs and... 
Measuring speakers
there is also SW that dive you greater control than CD test discs (this may be what Jamscience is refering to to make discs). I have 2 packages, one freeware called "Multigen" is a frequency generator that generates simply sine waves - it has cont...

Dared amps
I've had an SL2000a for about a year now. I recently rolled tubes to a Amperex NOS GZ34 rectifier, and Mullar NOS 12AT7's. It sounds wonderful, and has been totally reliable. It can't be beat for the money (I bought it used for $300, plus another ... 
Your listening chair
I agree - Comfort rules . . . I have an ottoman and have never noticed a concern with acoustics.

OK, what's the protocol?
I generally quote shipping and handling as a charge on top of the price of the item. I normally include enough extra $ (usually $3-5 depending on weight and packaging complexity) to make sure I don't end up eating FEDEX charges; but nowhere close ... 
which cowboy junkies cd?
I saw the Junkies live in DC at Wolftrap the "National Park for the Performance Arts" a few years ago. It's true, they're not a dynamic live show, but I would still recommend seeing their show to anyone who is a fan. They have a DVD out that's qui... 
speaker grill material
I've bought grill material from Parts Express, but I think they give you a choice of black, black, or black.The other place I've gone is a local fabric store. Your wife may know of one in your town. If you have a large fabric store maybe let your ... 
which cowboy junkies cd?
Absolutely Larryi! "Neath the Covers" was a freebe with my purchase of "One Soul Now" and is one of my favorites. 
which cowboy junkies cd?
My favorite is "Lay it Down". I don't see too many folks citing a similar preference, but IMO that's the one with the best songs all the way through. Trinity Sessions surely isn't a bad place to start and it has that unique "airiness" given the wa... 
should i sell my speakers by piece or together?
if you're planning to ship them and do not have experience packing and shipping speakers, I suggest you search the archives on shipping. Search on "shipping". I also agree - do not use UPS. Below are 3 threads worth reading:http://forum.audiogon.c... 
Best Country/Rock - Poll
I just picked up Neko Case ("Blacklised" and "Fox Confessor Brings the Flood"), and Gillian Welch ("Revival"). All excellent , both of them fantastic voices. 
Dumb question about Speaker Positioning
thanks Mark, I posted a great deal more about my setup on my other thread (HT Passthrough Options). I actually had 2 separate complete systems in this room. Both of which have been changing frequently over the last 2 years. The HT to this point ha...
