| Speaker Placement - When it's perfect! Every room is different with different challenges to overcome acoustically. I finally had to have Jim Smith come out and voice my room. Move a lot around, took 7 hours but the difference was beyond words. Very emotional experience listening in ... | |
| Subwoofer advice please I run a pair of REL SHO S5's and I was blown away at how easy they were to setup, so easy I read the manual over and over again thinking I had missed something. Placing and tuning them took about 30min but I had professional help from Jim Smith w... | |
| Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles? I run two current version REL S5's in a 2ch only system and the results are amazing, they totally disappear and help create a much richer fuller sound in my room. Night and day compared to before I brought them in. :o) | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? I run 2 - 12" sealed REL Subs in my room and you can't tell they're there. They're both behind main speakers facing opposite one another aiming at side walls of my room. I read Jim Smiths book, Get Better Sound and got him to help me set them up... | |
| Best Subwoofer To Use With A Two Way Speaker System Ive had very good luck with REL. A pair of Subs has worked far better than one. | |

| Is Jim Smith's Book"Get Better Sound"Best Book ? I enjoyed Jim's book very much. Really got me thinking a lot more about the room as a component. Tried a few things in the book with very positive effects. I'm going over to his place to listen next week, looking forward to that. I think somet... | |
| Trade in value to a dealer I typically just buy/sell on here but I have done a few trades with The Music Room in Colorado. Rob there is great and all my deals with them have been stress free and met or exceeded my expectations... | |
| What is most important part of a system? In Jim Smith's book, Get Better Sound, he states the room is the most important component of any system. Many years ago I gave no thought to "the room" whatsoever. Over the last 10 years or so I've spent more and more time voicing and acoustical... | |
| WORST Experience Ever in Dealing With Woodbridge Stereo NJ My experience with all these carriers over the last 20 years has been hit and miss with Fed Ex seeming to deliver an above average % of undamaged equipment. Freight is always a safe bet , I've most please with that shipment type. Strapped to a p... | |
| Taralabs cables I've used Tara Labs cables for about 15 years, tried other cheaper brands and always came back. Got to visit their facility in Ashland Oregon many years ago when I lived up there. Super nice people.Tried a lot of different interconnects and curr... | |
| Focal 1037BE; All-Rounders Extraordinaire! I've owned several pairs of Focal's over the years, pleased with all of them, including the last pair which were the 1037 BE's. The most transparent and analytical speaker line I've ever heard or owned. The Berylium tweeter is arguably the best ... |
