| Good looking and nice glass speaker stands Yikes, Yikes to any glass in your listening room. Try covering your windows with nice drapes and you will see a postive difference in your sound. Acrylic is another material that has no place in high end components. VPI just moved to aluminum on i... | |

| Proac D38 owners driving the d38 with anything less then 200 watts will not give you power you need, assuming your room is average size (13x16). | |
| Accuphase &Proac Yes, the amp's low power will be a problem. The D38's are hard speakers to drive. Something in the Krell would be more appropirate. | |
| Educational materials Toole's book 'Sound Reproduction' is a must read. This book nails everything you must know on the speaker/room end. Without Toole's knowledge everything else will not make sense. | |
