Goose:I should have also mentioned, I don't think it had a back either.  Just a frame with slat boards set at different depths.

bdp24:I went up to listen for a while and I will say, when incorporating the rear speakers, I loose some of my imaging and sound stage.  One would speculate, it would be the opposite. I guess with 4 dimensional sound  sound, you have no reference ...

bdp24I don't want you to misinterpret what I'm saying.  Yes-I'm talking about the same signal sent to my rear speakers as the front, but at a very low level.  You actually have to get close to the speaker to hear if it's even on.  Just gives me a ...

Jafant:To my knowledge, only Hi-Fi Buys offers the high end equipment.  I went on line and saw a couple of stores I hadn't heard of, but it looked as though their brands were few.  Nicholson's  had been around for years, but I think the crash got ...

David-Ten:  I couldn't care less about a tag and if I came off that way, I regret it. Just conversation ole boy. I have always loved music.  Just want to reproduce it the best I can afford, without loosing touch of the actual music itself.  I've s...
