Speaker connected to amp and surround?
I would keep a flashlight around in case your house circuit breaker trips! I have done it before auditioning amps, but when one amp was on the other was completely off. In hindsight, it probably wasn't the smartest thing to do. I agree with Albert... 
Don't try this at home hElP
Kelly, somehow I am not surprised at your input. But, keep it up; I would be disappointed with anything else! 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
I hear you! I think it is really desturbing when you walk into your local dealer and hear a system that costs a few thousand dollars that is putting out this incredibly musical sound and your thinking that you have spent 10 times that with little ... 
Tool - Lateralus
No money, thanks. I really like the CD. It remindes me of some of the older Rush stuff. It is nice to hear a group of excellent musicians really jammin! 
sweet spot hell
I would try a different approach. I use the "music" mode on my Krell AV Standard. Using four speakers creates a rather large sweet spot--much larger than with just two. However, if you don't want to go this route Sean said it best: there are a lot... 
How do people dust their systems?
Kublakhan, I "neutralized" the rating of the fellow A'goner. The pumps and the feather duster remark reminded me of something I was going to ask my wife. Thanks!! 
How do people dust their systems?
You guys need to get a wife! She loves the gear like it was her own!! 
Looking to Buy My First CD Transport
I just sold my Wadia 22 last week; but, it is an excellent transport. Wadia puts a lot of effort into a quiet power supply and simply have some of the best sounding transports in the market. I think you could pick one up for $800 to $850. 
Tool - Lateralus
I just picked the album up today. The radio station (99x) here in Atlanta has been playing "Schism" and I was definitely wanting to hear more. I guess after seeing the art work on the cover though, I am not sure if this is some type of Satanic cul... 
Room Acoustics Problem?
I have the CS6's as well but have found that the bass in my setup rolls off more or less nicely into the mid-20hz range. I am driving them with a Krell FPB-300. I have found that using different amps can cause changes in the frequency response esp... 
Most emotionally involving cables?
Blbloom your last response was great--I loved it! John 1, why do like the MIT's so much if it isn't for the sound?I agree with Blbloom, once you get a quality cable in the system, the changes should be more or less fine tuning. If you are changing... 
Krell AV Standard Anyone have one??
I have had one for over 3 years now. I am not too happy with these minor problems either. I get an Error 3 and/or Error 4 message if I adjust the volume while watching something in Dolby Digital (I haven't tried DTS yet but will this weekend with ... 
Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
I'm with Audiofrk. Sounds like the beginning of a commercial! Thanks for the laugh guys. After a long day at work, you guys made my evening. 
Thiel 3.6 s and amplifier choices
I have the Thiel CS6's and run them with a Krell FPB-300. The Thiels are so much faster, cleaner, and tighter than a PS Audio 200 (?) Delta I was driving them with. I think the more power, the more Thiels come to life. They are probably a 4 ohm lo... 
Full range/no sub home theater
I agree with Audioguy123. I have full range fronts and rears but just a normal center. My fronts (Thiel CS6's) will go into the mid-20's and stay really tight. My sub goes about to the same hz but is no where as tight. On music, I don't use the su...
