Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
I am in debt to Bill for hooking me up with Pat(Rx8man), who is located a reasonable drive from my home. I just spent a fun afternoon checking out Pat's set up. The contrast between his Summit set up and mine was interesting in that Pat has his in... 
Speakers for a 12 x 13 room
If you can audition the Neat Motive 2, they should work well in a room that size. Very nice sound from a small floorstander. 
Speaker Placement Problem
Induction Dynamics makes a monitor that is designed specifically for that. The dealer I heard them at had them in a bookshelf when I listened and they still sounded very good. 
How to integrate phase of a subwoofer with mains?
I have used a little different method than described above to adjust subwoofer phase. If you have a sub where the phase is adjustable by remote you can do it with one person, if not you will need a friend to help. First place the sub in the best p...

Looking for new speakers?
I heard some monitors by Induction Dynamics at a dealer a couple of years ago. They were initially set up on stands and I liked the way they sounded. I asked the dealer how they would be closer to the wall. To make his point, the dealer placed the...

Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
As Bill said, the granite surface plates under the stands really help, but you will also need another set of Stillpoints and inverted risers between the stands and the surface plates to get the most out of the setup. I too would be interested in t...

Lead Shot Substitute for Loading Speaker Cabinets?
Silica sand works well. While not as dense as lead, it is non-toxic and more than heavy enough. It can be gotten at any place that sells sand blasting shot. I use it in the stands of my speakers per the manufacturers recommendation. It is also pre...
