Lush and Romantic Tube Amps

@erik_squires Hello Erik and thanks for the detailed response. Without MiniDSP they sound great.  I am trying the DSP route to see what if anything might be left on the table : - from my speaker placement - the room treatments  - degradation o...

A friend has one of those saddle type AC as suggested by @nonoise .  It is pretty quiet.  He said the added larger rubber bumpers to get a tight fight. I have seen at working garages, where they have a unit far away and they "pipe" the cold air u... 
Could we get a group of all IRS Beta owners?
So my son asked to use my system.  I walked in and found him on a folding chair set dead center and about 2 feet closer to the speakers than my seating position. He suggested we reduce toe in, the mid/high are almost straight, bass towers are hid...

Internet Noise: A Pest in the Machine
