I got a little rig what do I do now?
"The only thing we have in this life that IS finite is time. Please don't waste it with crap, each of us is worthy to make the most of our time."Then why are you wasting your time with LG DVD players? Go NOW and seek a quality floor standing speak... 
Are you at this point??
You're done when you're dead. 
Uh Oh, Not another Bi-Wire thread...
There are a tremendous amount of variables in this situation. Every sound is system influcenced. The question of brand of cabling may influence the sound more than than bi-wiring! Sorry, no easy answers. 
Only Three People in the World...
Garry, Your "Pathi" (your plural term for Pathos; wish I'd come up with it) look super-sweet in your office setting. So, what's got you itchy for new speakers? Did you get to hear the Zu's? Or is this an educated guess? No, you're one of the three... 
'Racks'. Important? Best bang for $$?
I found Plateau to make a reasonable priced rack and I found the quality first rate; they also do AV racks, which are lower and worked nicely in a HT application. See my system where I put two of the AV racks together to fit underneath screen. You... 
Radical thought- Use 2 pair of speakers
A while ago, just for the fun of it, I did a "stacked" Eminent Technology LFT-8A speaker system. Had eight channels totalling 2,400 watts into 4 ohms pumping into them biwired. I tell you, it was one of the most wickely huge sounds I've ever heard... 
Basement system for $5000 or less
Something to consider, in a room that size if you do not have adequate ventilation, and even if you do have adequate ventilation, you will potentially be cooking yourself out of the room by having too much heat generated by tube equipment. This is... 
Greek Audiophile - Documentary Video
Ellery, I concur. If only we knew how WE look to others with our audio inanities! However, I must chastise you for not knowing immediately the brand of your monitor stands described in your system! "Ummmmm" is NOT good enough! We cannot impress th...

R_f_sayles, I'll bet it's more likely that he's familiar with the instructions, but after 50 or so hours of experimentation he feels he has discovered a better way to utilize it. In the thinking of an obsessive audiophile one cannot spend enough t...

The Reviewers are raving:"A Turntable Tour de Force!" "Some of the most intense audiophile footage ever recorded!" "230 Volts of Cinematic Pleasure!""An Olympian Acoustic Accomplishment!" "An Epic, made for less than the cost of a rig!""The only m... 
At what price do amps start to sound
About $500-$1,000 more 
Pathos classic one mk2
Leo,I continue to be very pleased by the sound/performance of the "Pathi" as Garry refers to them. No complaints at all. They seem to be especially superb with very revealing speakers, as they will take some of the edge off the high end without ma... 
Has your gear ever hurt you???
Too many times hauling subs, speakers etc. up and down between the listening room and the garrage/outside. I made peace with my ego about two months ago and purchased a quality hand truck. I will become a wussy-man and use the truck rather than be... 
what is good sound ?
When an incalculable number of people say of your system, "Sounds good to me," then you have good sound. 
Building a HT system using 2ce signatures?
Hey, Codrus, I was at a similar point years ago and I'll show you what can be done. My advice comes from a STRONG two channel slant; if you spend 90% of time listening to two channel and just want the HT to mess with, this is a plan for it to work...
