| Wilson Alexia 2 Don't know how old this is, but I've been able to hear ARC, D'Agostino, Parasound, Ayre and Luxman with Wilsons. ARC and Parasound were meh in very similar ways. D'Agostino, Ayre and Luxman are my happy place. | |
| Toslink Connections Suck... Did you try another cable? Yes, usually there's a little click. Takes a little extra pressure. | |

| Isolated ground for 20 amp All grounds in a home must be bonded together and come to the neutral at exactly one point. Everything else is a danger to life and property. However, you can run a ground rod loop. That is, you can put in more ground rods near your listening loc... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Thanks @mapman!! So the other area which to me is more important is the floor between and behind the speakers. It seems that treble harshness always lives there. Definitely not first reflection points. Best,Erik | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Hi @photon,Well, I didn’t have just one system in one room. I’ve had several systems across multiple apartments. Never a dedicated, music only room. I’ve had Monitor Audio, Focal, and now my own custom speakers. In placing the GIK Acoustic panels ... | |

| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? @kenjitYou make 4 suppositions which are not in evidence, so as usual I am ignoring you. E | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Put this another way, if your room is well treated, and speakers well placed, then you can move off axis and you won’t hear a dramatic shift in clarity when those panels are no longer in a mirror’s line of sight of the speaker. If that statement i... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? By your question you seem to assume that 1st reflection points are correctly treated by using panels etc. Oh, no, I'm questioning the ENTIRE canon which believes 1st reflection points even matter. In my experience, these points are not actually ... | |

| How do you know what room treatments to use? Talk to pros. Call or e-mail GIK Acoustics. They have a section where you can upload pictures and ask for professional advice. No one I know has better products and advice for less. | |
