The best speaker for a small room...at any price point.
@jayh31 it wouldn't hurt to take a look at the GIK website.The treatments are returnable,consultation is free,the treatments will fit into any decor unobtrusively.They can also be printed with a photo or artwork of your choosing. 
Musicians in your living room vs. you in the recording hall?
I wish every recording could provide the illusion that I was at the event.Recordings of small ensembles come very close sometimes.When I'm in the mood for loud rock music and I move into the next room, it actually sounds like the band is in there ... 
Your favourite music movie?
There are so many great soundtracks it's hard to choose.Woodstock is a favorite that I watch every so often.Phantom of the Opera also. 
Time to have a break from Hardware swapping
I can relate:)I did some upgrading over the past year after a long hiatus and it gets tedious after a while.Time to kick back and just enjoy:)

Best of luck brownsfan.You have quite a few tubes to mix and match before hitting on the ideal combo.

I received another pair of the Sofias to try one in the driver tube position of the Aric Audio amp.Turns out it was too much of a good thing,lol!The sound became overly euphonic which was so pretty, especially on sax and piano with the added harmo... 
Grounding my Silvertone
I love those old console cabinets too:)Best of luck to you!I've got three old radios that are in working condition.One has a turntable that tips out from the front that doesn't work at the moment.One of these days I'll get to it.My favorite is a T...

Ugly vs Gogeous speakers
I used to watch an HDTV show where on one episode she designed a room around a bright gold grand piano(family heirloom).Quite challenging,but it looked really nice.On another episode the owner had some large Martin Logans that he was going to leav... 
Ugly vs Gogeous speakers
I wonder if anybody has ever hired a decorator to help blend in fabulous sounding butt ugly speakers to a room? 
Final piece of the puzzle: digital correction in a suboptimal room
Monster traps may be overkill for the side walls.Heavily treating the corners is worth experimenting with.I'm using GIK and four subs to great effect in my smallish room.Two subs wit built in eq  might work very well also.Best of luck as you resea... 
Favorite music list in order
I love blues.Any music with a bluesy feeling gets my attention.I enjoy other genres too in small doses.Maybe an entire evening of jazz,world music, or even country sometimes. 
Let's roll: what pre-amp tubes should I consider next?
The Pvane 12AX7 tubes in my cdp are just right (for that application).Clean and clear but not harsh. 
Blind fold hearing test
No way!Maybe type of speaker or amp but not specific brands.
