I am sure that I formed a rash impression of them, not least because they only had the tubes they had; other tubes woul... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 400 or Raven Audio Blackhawk integrateds? From what I've read, the Ravens are clearly a level beyond the PL's. | |

Better than what others have been suggesting (Sound Anchors and Target and other stands) ranging from $500 up to $1000? | |
| Naw cables? I think you meant "Gnaw cables?"Just a joke. | |
| How much overhang is ok between a speaker base and the stand top plate? Thanks for the additonal suggestions. Didn't know that about blue tack. Worrisome. I cannot imagine drilling holes in these speakers. The pad idea is a nice one, too. | |
| Floorstander reco given a few criteria... OP, just a P.S. The Music Room is used and gives 14 day trial. They verify that all products work. They’re great to deal with. Trying in your own space is crucial.Crutchfield has free shipping and very inexpensive returns (e.g.$10 for 160lbs of fl... | |
