mikelavigne and millercarbon:  I just looked at photos of both of your listening rooms and equipment and they blew me away!  Here I was agonizing over which small subs to buy, and your equipment and rooms look like you are preparing for a space la... 
Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers?
scm:  Nothing special about 540.  It was just a number I tagged onto the end of my name to differentiate me from all the other Bob’s on a discussion forum.  Glad you are liking your Hsu’s — they look like nice subwoofers.If I am considering Blueto...

Tim, I am usually the sort of person who can window shop, see nice things and pass them by without stressing over not buying them.  But occasionally I get on a bent when I see something and think, “Someone else has this and is enjoying it, while I... 
Ok guys
I never even thought about it.  The turntable I have now was bought 30 years ago from some guy as part of a package of equipment he was selling so his wife couldn’t get it in the divorce.  The Kenwood linear-tracking TT did not have a dust cover —...

Thank you guys again for your suggestions — I am going to look again at Syzygy and at GR Research/Rythmik.  Funny how I didn’t agonize before buying the Martin Logan’s, but now I wonder if I should have bought KEF LS50’s and paired them with subwo... 
Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers?
I know what passive loudspeakers are, but I wasn’t sure if the Parasound could power both the ML towers and subwoofers.  From reading responses, I now know the answer is No, I would need a separate amp to power passive subs. I’m thinking I will go...

I see they are cylinders.  So all the music is from down-firing speaker rather than from the sides?  Or does sound emanate from the sides and bottom.  I suppose I would need to get a separate amplifier to power them . . . or could my Parasound amp...

bdp24,I’m not familiar with those subs.  I looked them up and they appear to be from early 1990’s?  I have thus far only looked at powered subs — what are the difference issues involved in using powered vs. passive subwoofers?  Also, one old forum...

Linda Ronstadt “Duets”Found at my local library. Easy listening/orchestra music of familiar old tunes.  Well done.

Wolf_garcia!  Of course you’re correct.  How could I be so blind to the perils of “mixing” in this woke age?   I’m blessed that you spoke up while there is still time to avert catastrophe!  I am in your debt Sir!  😝 
Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars
They look like something out of an “Iron Man” movie.

You know you've been thinking about speaker placement too much when...
My fear is that someone will burglarize my home while I’m gone, and with it my stereo equipment.  I read the local on-line community bulletin board and see that neighbors have their cars broken into for the spare change or their sheds broken into ... 
It looks like a debate to me.
My take is that it’s nice to not have to choose.  I enjoy reading the reviews on the tech sites but I also like to read what audio enthusiasts have to say about their daily life experiments and discoveries.  Like my less-than-advantageous listenin...

@slaw,You are absolutely correct — my space, side to side, is the limiting factor.  But this room is what I have to work with.  I mentioned above that my living room is larger and it would be easier to arrange my equipment there.  But, that room i...
