| Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s MellbguyThanks for the clarification. I re-read the sentence about op amps and misunderstood the first time around. | |

| Using Granite under speakers Thanks for the complement. We really enjoy it. | |
| Using Granite under speakers Inna Thanks for the tip. I do move them out some when critical listening, but they are front ported and they image pretty well where they are. WSF comes in terms of leaving them out several feet. | |
