Anotherspeaker placement question (distance measurements)
Thanks to all for responding. @bigtwin  , I did read your response in the other "room size" thread.  Like the OP of that one, I am working with a small space.  When you posted this formula, I did not, at that time, work with any of your measureme... 
Ultimate stereo nightmare
I hate to say it, but I am feelings the aches & pains of aging myself. You didn't list your equipment (separates or integrated, SS or tube, etc.) and this may be helpful to know. But, I also hate to say this, I think you are going to have to...

Thanks, @tomcarr  , I just did a quick search & MD has the LP (which won't fit inside my CDP) and then I took a look on ebay & I saw one by SMH . . . I've found that SHM usually does a pretty good red-book.

@newbee  , center of the driver then.  Thanks!

@tomcarr  , I guess since I've already strayed from the OP, I may as well stray a bit further.  As far as classic rock, these days I limit it to buying & listening to certain remasters that I hope will provide a good sonic presentation.  I kee...

@tomcarr  , just some commentary which is off of OP's original topic, but I do remember reading about HDCD in Stereophile when it (HDCD) was a new thing, and I was intrigued.  I was always thinking I should have ordered my Muse DAC with the HDCD c... 
Quad panel outlet - can I do one circuit on this?
But @curiousjim , I must ask:  how DO you know this?? @jumia  , now I am the one who is confused.  This, below, indicates that you have two multibranch circuits, not two dedicated circuits? and while 2 dedicated circuits would be highly prefera... 
room size question.
I would unplug the subs first, and experiment with the monitors only. I just did a reread & I read this by @grislybutter  , did you ever give this a try? Also, in that previous listening space which you have alluded to, did you have any ge... 
Quad panel outlet - can I do one circuit on this?
a few lights, modem, router, weather station and a couple network switches all living off of a 15 amp circuit with lots of room to spare I believe. Sounds good.  Then I added 2 dedicated circuits with 10 gauge wire for all the audio gear and it h... 
Quad panel outlet - can I do one circuit on this?
It's about the clarity and isolation of the electricity and making sure less restricted Power availability is always there which is enhanced with a higher gauge electrical wire. I have not once made any claims whatsoever to have a real tight gr...

I think the SACD UN-Mastered version is class A+, the CD version is class A. @tomcarr  , I'd put the SACD "Cafe Blue Unmastered" on the best-of-my-best list, for sure.  Have you heard the MFSL SACD of "Cafe Blue"  (not unmastered)?  I go back &... 
Quad panel outlet - can I do one circuit on this?
Can I do a 20 amp dedicated circuit to four outlets in a quad panel on the wall? . . . oh, but the answer to this would be ’yes.’ You could use a strip, a power conditioner, or you could connect your two duplexes (which were on the same 20A cir... 
Quad panel outlet - can I do one circuit on this?
So no digital stuff mixing in it appears. And certainly not a TV set. So it's somewhat pure. That seems to be the main argument for having multiple dedicated circuits.  In the first thread I pasted, MC doesn't subscribe to that logic.  In the s... 
Quad panel outlet - can I do one circuit on this?
@jumia below is another thread in which I believe JEA talks about how he suggests running Romex. And deviating from his advice may have an effect on the sonic result of multiple circuits. You did mention how gear might have an effect on what I hea... 
Quad panel outlet - can I do one circuit on this?
@jumia  , I was inclined to think along those same lines.  I read the thread that I am going to paste below and that is what got me interested in experimenting with one versus three circuits.  In all fairness to the multiple circuit school of thou...
