I have a REL stentor III placed in the front left corner.  I used an SPL meter to match the volume and have the crossover set at 30Hz. Speakers are 3.7s, and room size is 16x20.

Sorry, it's hifishark.com. I'm guessing you'll be around $6k US.

Go to hifisharks.com, type in the model, and filter by North America.  It will show you what's currently for sale and what's sold over the last few years (covers virtually all the sites except craigslist).  You can choose the currency too. Great s...

Prof,Thanks for the pricing info.  I think your timing is spot on given the not-so-pleasant (yet not surprising) news.I've struggled for years about going down the path of adding some kind of DSP, but I just can't wrap my head around digitizing my...

Prof,Just curious what kind of sub you have and the steps you’ve taken so far to integrate. I too had a tough time, and still tweak my settings/position occasionally. Always interested to see the steps others take when setting up their subs. I als...

Hey corvette, good to hear from you.  Nice to see you're putting your Les Pauls to good use, regardless of the room you're in. Sounds like you've made the best of your situation!

Sorry unsound - for some reason I thought you had the 3.6s, not the 3.5s..oblgny - just curious what you like better about the 3.5s then the 3.6s?  As for me, I'm 46.  I started early when I mowed lawns to get a pair of Adcom separates and Canton ...

Unsound,No need to apologize! We just have some differing opinions, that’s all. I don’t agree that 50 watts at 8 ohms (or 200 watts at 2 ohms) "really isn’t much at all." Your 3.6 speakers have a sensitivity rating of 86dbs. My 3.7s are rated at 9...

Love the suggestions by the way.  I've got lots of listening to do!

Unsound,I've ready many of your insightful posts on this thread, and while I agree with much of what you say, there are some assumptions that I do take some issue with.First, I never meant to imply that others should use Class A.  I merely was mak...

Nice! Beck’s Sea Change is on my regular rotation. Haven’t checked out Morning Phase yet. The Suzanne Vega might also need to be added. And I’ll be searching Tidal for those last 4..If you haven’t already, give Rickie Lee Jones’ Flying Cowboys a t...

Now that I've read through this entire thread (!!) I feel it's probably okay for me to chime in a bit more about my 3.7 impressions and my set up. Let me start, however, by saying how great it is to read so many passionate posts about Thiel speake...

New owner, 1st post.  I've been enjoying my 3.7s immensely.  Always been a Thiel fan, and the 3.7s were near the top of my want list for awhile.  Found a pair of Les Paul's a few months ago and just couldn't resist. Best upgrade to my system in qu... 
I-Mac for computer audio?
To answer your 1st question, you won't have any SQ advantage by choosing an iMac over a mac mini. I have both, and both use the same optical out that causes some to complain about jitter. I agree, however, with the post that questions your setup a... 
Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range
About a year ago I was asking the same question, and ended up buying a pair of Focus Audio Prestige FP80s. Obviously I love them. They list for $5800 but I got them for less. Great imaging and transparency, and they use a scanspeak revelator tweet...
