| Speaker tweak BrianW, I'll make you some for $50. Or try www.mcmaster.com P/N 9050k11 for premade 8" x 8" x 1" thick aluminum plates. Also P/N 89155K72 $38.76 each. | |
| Speakers that sound like Thiels on steroids. Third the ATC active 100's. Or try the active 150's or 200's. You will be doing yourself a disservice if you don't take the time to find these speakers (my opinion). | |
| What is pink noise? So if you were going to measure in-room frequency response, would you use white noise or pink noise?And how do you measure sound at any particular frequency? Rat Shack SPL meter and Stereophile test tones miss a large part of the frequency spectru... | |

| HELP Why no bass? Why bright? Before you toss the B&W try hooking them up to a Classe CAP 101 or 151 integrated. I heard this very setup and there was plenty of bass but can't remember if it was too bright. Didn't seem that way to me at the time.Read some reviews on Classe... | |

| What would you do about a sleazy buyer?? No auditions. Buy it or don't- no exceptions.Hindsight is always easier. Too bad you get stuck trying to be nice. | |
| ATC SCM 100 VS. Vandersteen Model 5's Since only one response, I'll take a shot. Vandersteen maybe better at soundstaging. Seems many studio monitors don't soundstage that great. But that's not the same as "sweetspot" and ATC's are acceptably good. ATC should be more dynamic, especial... | |

| Any funny audiofile stories??? Here's a funny story:NADNo remote - "exploded against the wall." ROFLMAO! | |
| How could High End audio be improved? TNT had an interesting point with an inexpensive Rotel integrated:This extreme detail notwithstanding, the amp is able to point straight to the main target, i.e. Music: while with other very detailed systems the listening experience becomes someth... | |
