| Aurios Isotone Bearings Heavy Items such as Speakers and Amps should be be used with the Aurio Pro's. I've heard people using the new Isotones under source components because it allows for movement in horz and verticle plane. | |

| Speaker Choice for a larger room Rooze,I'm still playing with speaker placement right now so nothing is final, the imaging and depth with the system reversed like what is show in the last pictures is amazing but i'm sacrificing a bit of the bass response, but then again I still m... | |
