| Admittedly a bit lost Audiokinesis makes some geat points especially about the impedance discussion. One other tip I forgot to mention is that I will generally like a speaker that I want to keep turning up louder rather than the ones I want to turn down. | |
| Admittedly a bit lost I would go to as many dealers as you can to get a flavor of the speakers that sound good to you. You will need to determine if you want stand mounted or floor standing models. When you can narrow it down it would also be a good idea to bring your ... | |
| Advice on using a laser for speaker positioning I find a laser easier to use than a tape measure. It really helps with toe in and you can shoot to a target in the listening room. I also use it adjust the vertical angle of the tweeters. It also makes finding the first reflection points easy by s... | |
| Toe-in recommendation for stand mount monitors Sometimes it's helpful if you can have someone toe in the speakers as you are listening to them. It will become apparent where a good spot is as for a starter as they are moved around. I haven't tried the radical toe in as discussed above, but hav... | |

| Herron pre upgrade... Mlo97 I had the 1a-166 before I upgraded to the 3a-r02. I think you would find the upgrade worthwhile. I found a greater sense of space and air around the instruments and a better grip on the music. I'm a big Herron fan and would also suggest that... | |
| Input on speaker sizing for a lively room. If you can hear the Acoustic Zen Crescendo and Vienna Acoustics Liszt, those two would come to mind. I have Herron electronics and am now using the Liszt in my room. It's a wonderful speaker and does a lot of things right. It's a sleeper in their ... | |

| Devialet Amplifiers I would agree with Joeinid's comments. A friend has a D200 and we have compared it to my Herron setup and an older Roland amp. It has a little more bite to it than either of those two amps. I'm not saying it's harsh, just a different tonal taste. ... | |
| What's the solid state amp to buy $2500? Dhcod, the Herrons can be upgraded to the current configuration for a reasonable fee. I think Keith produces a great sounding robust product and is a pleasure to deal with. | |
