Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers
Vandy VLR's if you want bookshelves.Treo's for floorstanders. Though I would put them on an isolating base if living in a multistory apartment.Bob 
CPT equi=core 1800, can you place vertically?
I doubt it should make a difference. In fact, I think the power cords would seat better in the socket, due to gravity.When in doubt, call the manufacturer. In this case Wally at Underwood hifi.Bob

Any comments on Viasat Internet satellite services
Viasat shows 25mbps in my area as max.Much slower than fibre, but should be good enough for streaming.A quick Google showed streaming services are under 1 mbps- Though Quobuz might be higher if you use the highest resolution setting. I wouldn't tr...
