Trade-off between soundstage vs. PRAT
"Correct Gingko"LOL@Brian!That just sounded funny, sorry. Maybe, "Correct Mr. Biloba" would have been better, heheh. 
ProAc / Krell
Having heard Krell gear in the past and being a ProAc owner I think this is not a good match. The type of people that own Krell and ProAc in general seem to have very different taste and priorities in music reproduction.Krell owners seem to favor ... 
Isolation question. Monitor on Subwoofer
...Or likely to remember. Heheh. 
Isolation question. Monitor on Subwoofer
Slappy, you really need to buy the Music Pump Monoblocks and Purse Preamp from Gilbert Yeung. Remember, you must match the audio equipment to the chicks. 
Isolation question. Monitor on Subwoofer
"as my speakers swing like schoolchildren on the jungle gym".This could create for some cool ass imaging. It'll make Diana Krall sound like she's drowning or being blown around in the wind. 
Freezer Cryoed Cables...
Boy, you guys sure are tense! Sure Slappy, Marco, and myself included make wisecracks all the time regardless of the seriousness of the topic. But the way this thread was written and followed up by the author sounds like an old Soupy Sales gag to ... 
Isolation question. Monitor on Subwoofer
Yeah, as Rx8Man suggests Spectra-Line might be a good choice. It doubles well as an assassination wire like in Marathon Man.The other thing I'm thinking is that even if the sub and monitors aren't touching, but still in very close proximity, the m... 
Freezer Cryoed Cables...
I agree. Wet the X-250 first, it'll freeze much faster. That's the whole secret to deep immersion cryoing. Works wonders on profylactics. 
Trade-off between soundstage vs. PRAT

Has someone imposed a speed limit on jazz?
Has someone imposed a speed limit on jazz?You might be on to something.It may have all started in the Clint Eastwood movie The Enforcer. Specifically, when Harry Callahan and his new partner played by Tyne Daly are chasing a bad guy carrying a bri... 
Side speakers?
From what I understand there are only five discreet channels plus the LFE. All the extra channels in other surround schemes are matrixed.This idea of 2+2+2 from Europe does sound very interesting. This actually seems more like a movie theater set ... 
What speakers are these?
Hey Slappy,If you ever met the mad genius Gilbert Yeung, you'd completely understand it! I heard this exact set up including the Aerial Acoustics 5s and Purse preamp at the Blue Circle room in Alexis Park at CES 2003. Sounded pretty good. Kevin Al... 
Best speaker for small room
Earlier this year I bought a pair of floorstanding ProAc Response 2.5s for my room which is just about a foot bigger than yours in each direction except for the height which is the same.I have tons of stuff in my room, so its effective size is act... 
Adding subwoofer to Full-Ragne Speakers question
Rbirke,I don't know how many times I've heard other REL owners say the same thing as you, and that's why I intend to buy one myself to improve the already great sound I'm getting from my ProAc 2.5s.I guess when a sub bass system is well designed a... 
What 6sn7 tube for Counterpoint modified SA-220?
