| REL Storm vs Storm 3 I believe that all REL ST Ver.III series allows low and high level hookup enabling one to switch to either input. The high level is used for 2-channel audio and the low level for 5.1 LFE. The older REL's had both inputs but no mode switching. When... | |
| Thiel In-wall Speakers Bufus,My SCS's sound very natural and well balanced. I played music through them alone for six months as I was constucting my HT/Soundroom. I was amazed on the quality of sound I got through them. I will say that I am running an honest 300 WPC wit... | |
| Thiel In-wall Speakers Bundy,I have an all Thiel surround set up. 22's for the mains, SCS2 for the center and SCS's for the rears. Instead of using PowerPoints or PowerPlanes, I built pockets and recessed the pair of SCS's. I was able to recess them approximately four i... | |
| Replace headphones or add headphone amp Sean,Check out http://www.headphone.com. It's Headroom's website. I'm got a Headroom Cosmic amp and Etyomtic 4S's. These ear buds are simply the best. They are great for mobile use, the absolute best for air travel since they do not let any airpla... | |

| Argent Room Lenses? I've got four since my room is also being used for HT. I had to use two instead of the one that would normally go between the left and right speaker. I've found the thing that I like about the room lenses is that you can really tailor your sound b... | |
| Acoustic problems need advice I agree with Elgordo. It can take you months to really figure out where you need to place room taming devices. Room Lenses are the way to go. They are easy to move around to tailor your sound since they stand on the floor, most think they are more... | |
| Taming bright Thiels Hug:I've owned 22's for almost five years and did find them on the bright side until I changed my front end. Currently using the CAL Alpha/Delta with Mullard tubes. My preamp is a Jeff Rowland, with old Parasound Amps. I'm using Straightwire Maest... | |
| Richard Gray's Power Company Prior to my RGPC S400 I was using a Monster 2500 which is a very good unit for its price. I have everything plugged into it with the exception of my amps. The difference between the two units were night and day. The Monster made a huge difference ... | |

| Line Conditioners I own a Monster 2500 and a Richard Gray S400. I've had the Monster 2500 for a couple of years and still very happy with it. Basically the 2500 is the same as the 2000 built in a nice box with a switch and LED's. The sound impovement was more subtl... | |
| REL Strata III vs. REL Q201E Rel Strata, Storm, Stadium, etc. is designed for 2 channel and HT. The Q series is more of a HT product. | |
| REL Storm III or Strata III Thanks to all those who responded. Your information and feedback in greatly appreciated. | |
| Least Losses: Long speaker cable vs. Long Interconnect? Long interconnects are much more desireable verus long speaker cables. Keep you speaker cable as short as possible. Yes, balanced is better if your equipment has that connection or termination. Also, a positive of moving eveything with the excepti... | |
