| I can prove your room is bad @kenjit About 22 years ago at a sound studio in LA. How about you?Is a great tool for mixing, editing or picking out nuances in the music; not so much if you just want to enjoy a musical performance. Jim | |
| I can prove your room is bad @erik_squires Roy Allison and others would have argued: What is it with these lame ass speaker designers who don't design their speakers to be up against a wall where they belong?? WOW! I hope my wife doesn't read that. It took almost two years f... | |
| I can prove your room is bad @three_easy_payments While I'm a huge proponent of applying smart room treatments I don't believe the room should fail to influence the sound at all. That's what's implied by suggesting the best sound you can get from your room is benchmarked at ... | |
| I can prove your room is bad @kingsleuy Hell will be paid if I move the speakers out into the room.What is there about women and speakers being too far out into the room? I think there must be universal something in their heads that just snaps and makes them a little crazy,... | |

| Youngsters these days. Looks like. | |
| Youngsters these days. @isochronism ;-) | |
| Youngsters these days. @douglas_schroeder Good hearing from you again.After talking to you, I remembered that I had a matching set of speaker cables that I used for bi-wiring on a different set of speakers. My little Maggies are not set up for bi-wiring so I was only us... | |
| Youngsters these days. Thanks all for all the comments and good advise.Except for isochronism take that whippersnapper behind the woodshed. Afterward, tell him, "now clean those records"!You trying to get me killed? At 69, I'm still pretty spry but he's nearly a foot ... |
