Who needs spellcheck?

Help with room treatments
Thank you Mikelavigne for your kind comments and suggestions. The TV isnt likely to go anywhere at 220 lbs., but I can try blanketing it. Also I will try a temporary blanket/quilt on the ceiling. (some day when the wife isnt home:) If it works, do...

The worlds ultimate toy
They are all special 
Fluance speakers
They look like Polk Audio LSI 15's which are well rated, at one third the price. May be worth a listen, with return policy, if you are in the market for under 1K speakers 
There Ought To Be A Law, Or At Least A Rule
Both sides of this have merit. I think that anyone intiating possibly negative feedback should be extremely sensitive to its possible undeserved negative effects. Yet poor service or reliability should definitely be published. Then copied to the "...

Newbee. I took you up on your recommendation exploring Schumann's solo piano works and obtained a CD of Schumann Fantasy Op17 played by Evgeny Kissin RCA and absolutely loved it. Tonight I owe you another thank you. I listened to the Ohlosson Chop... 
Cd Storage
I love my www.lorentzdesign.com "the Cubes" they each hold 300CD's, built like tanks, nicely finished, and can be used as end tables or side by side, see my "beauty and the beasts" system for pics
