Subs?
I like it when I can feel the tanks approaching on a battlefield.  Main speakers can't do this very well. Make sure you secure all the picture frames on the walls.   I love the 804s.  And all other the stuff you have too. The sub or subs will be...

speaker upgrade fever
Interesting thread with lots of insight. One comment had to do with all the equipment affecting how speakers sound which is deserving a lot of attention as well. Disappointing when the dealers don’t have a wide variety of products to choose from....

Surge protectors--how many $ make sense?
Transparent Power isolator is a great surge protector. Surge power Design is of a hydraulic nature. It’s on the expensive side but it’s a conditioner that does not restrict Power. A lot of high-end audio systems use this. Always interested in co... 
Main speaker placement- fundamentally wrong?

Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why.
  @akg_ca  Isn’t dispersion of speakers ‘and’where the heck all your furniture is in a room incredibly important? Most people don’t sit in rooms with a single chair and only their audio system. They have other furniture and this affects things. ...
