Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room
@tubeguy80 I'd like to stay at $3K or below, which I think gives me plenty of options.  All things being equal, I generally like to buy gently used as there's some good value to be had in gear that's not brand new, but that's not a necessity as wh...

@ronboco Thanks for the further info, I appreciate it.  It’s a 8’ ceiling unfortunately.  But I’ll keep an open mind on this and won’t eliminate any options without at least weighing against other options.  
Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room
@ronboco My thought is that my room isn't ideal to start with, because it's smaller than the minimum volume I've read is required for a dedicated audio room.  Some people's stance is "if you can't meet that minimum volume, don't bother, it's never...

I will find a way to post unsquished pics. The complications with a sub: a) C35 preamp doesn’t have a sub out.  So I’d need to find some sort of line level combine two channels into one device and let the sub high pass filter out what it doesn’t...

@glennewdick Yes, no idea why the pics are distorted - I tried multiple times and sometimes one pic would be okay and the second distorted and sometimes both.  In the end, I hoped it was an artifact of the posting editor and it would look normal w... 
Review: Forte 40 Preamplifier
Old thread I realize, but has anyone compared the Model 40 to any Bryston preamp?  I understand all the vintage Brystons (0.5B, 1B, 11B, 12B) use a similar design, so any comparisons between the Model 40 and any older Bryston would be enlightening.
