thanks for the responses guys, very helpful. At least my tv is not between the speakers like a lot of other systems I have seen. I will throw a blanket over it for the next session.

So this must be one hell of a speaker for rock?

TBG, shouldn't you have the sound meter in the A position instead of C? I had mine on C and that is the reason some recordings were sounding quit at the same decibel levels as perceived louder recordings. I switched to A and it turns out I can tur...

I was talking about actual SPL, I use a meter and like I said one recording sounded quiet and dull at 75-83 and the other one sounded plenty loud at the same SPL range on the meter. For the record, I use a Iphone app. called Studio Six Digital SPL... 
Question: Does ATC have the best midrange driver?
So Pani, it sounds like you are saying they are not fussing about set up? They are coherent and room friendly?

Podeschi, Good to hear on the VTPH 2 phono. Any chance you may be looking at Keith's preamp for your system as well? 
Would you pay to listen?
yeah, without a doubt I would pay to listen. If you buy, maybe you get a refund on the listening session?

Well, I already ordered the Maya not to long ago. The amp hasn't hit the market yet. About another month to go. The impedance match between the Modwright and the Herron may be holding things back a little.

You know, I have never had matched gear but from what I hear it is wise to use matching components. I would have looked into the Modwright preamps, but they don't have input select on the remote which is important to me. I already have my next amp...
