Anyone running Quad 22L speakers?
AndrewAs long as your room has a bit of damping, the quads will not sound bright with your rotel.If you are looking for a thick, slow, syrupy sound, the quad will not do it, get something like a Sonus Faber.But if you like a neutral, transparent s... 
Best subwoofer for a Wilson Puppy
I also have had no problem setting my DD15 to low-pass below 40hz

Warren - I am a pretty picky audiophile... but I love the Shure e5. I like using them just about as much as my Senn 650s. 
Room acoustics/treatments help?? Photos included
Onhwy61 - I recently purchased a calibrated microphone, mic preamp, usb soundcard, and ETF software (now RplusD) to take detailed measurements. There is a somewhat high learning curve to the software, but I think I've gotten it pretty much figured...

Jadem6 - thanks a lot for the thoughts!I am very interested in your "there are other speakers designed for long wall placement" comment.I know through experience that although I love the dynaudio sound when they are in the right room/setup, they d... 
Room acoustics/treatments help?? Photos included
Thanks for the posts guys!Ksales - Yes, I have big problems! I will def. get some heavy drapes for the windows. Do you think draping the bottom window and the door on the front wall will be enough, or should I drape the top window as well?"Conside... 
Reference 3A Decapo "i" sounds shrilly
The problem is the speaker/room interaction, as is 95% of all problems that people experience with audio.Do you have acoustic treatment on your front and rear walls? Have you treated the reflection points on the side walls?Have you experimented wi... 
sub for $3500 or less
Fiddler- Settle down, beavis. You're being a little unfriendly to someone you don't know. The velo is a great sub, I own the DD15, but he decided to go a different direction. I don't feel as though my "time is wasted" from reading or participating... 
Dynaudio, Wilson, Avalon, Aerial
Cdj123 - how do they work with the room? 
Musical Fidelity and Sonus Grand Piano too bright.
Ghunter - 99% chance of room problems, the MF piece is fine. Room acoustics are WAY more real than audiophile amp-inherent brightness. 
Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp
Mick told me 6 months... it took around a year... I wonder why he doens't understand that he really doesn't need to lie to his clients about the timing on his products.If he told you 2 months, give it 6. 
Velodyne DD's flying out of owners' houses
Drubin - I did an exhaustive sub exploration before I ended up with the DD15 that I chose.I brought a Rel Strata III home (their tightest sub), and I liked it a LOT, but room integration issues... you know how they go. I would have bought it if I ... 
Velodyne DD's flying out of owners' houses
Drubin - You can set up the Veolodyne in each way you described. I go preamp -> sub -> amp -> speakers. I find the that the sonic gains of high-passing my speakers outweigh the loss of transparency by having the sub in the chain.Though - ... 
Dynaudio, Wilson, Avalon, Aerial
Cdj123 - Wow, it sounds like you are a tough audiophile to please! And that you know what you're looking for...What was the size of the rooms that you used to audition these speakers?If used in a room too small for them then yes, the bass will be ... 
About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8
Bartokfan - You are a riot!I like to think that I'm not completely deaf, being a musician, (piano guitar and cello), going to symphonic and chamber music concerts regularly, but out of: Kharma, JM Lab, Dynaudio, Revel, Totem, B&W, Quad, Klipsc...
