Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY?
Kalali,Thanks, it's been over 50 years in the works. I'm not a man of great means, so doing the slow crawl forward.I'm close to getting there, I mean for real for me!Kenny 
Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY?
Yes, I decided to go DIY with OB subs in order gain fill-in from an open floor plan. So, no corners for my main speakers. In my case, speaker distance from my front wall was not an issue, so the subs are over four feet out.As bdp24 mentions above,... 
Fix it or not, my CJ Premier 11a Amp?
Okay, fix it I will!!!Before shipping my amp out somewhere, I would like to find out if there's a quality repair place locally. I'm in the Boulder, Colorado area, so I'm familiar with some of the hi-end manufacturers here like Boulder, Ayre, Avalo...

"Repair it."Unbelievable, everyone...You all agree! I think this is an Audiogon landmark moment (LOL)!I will consider all the offers. You guys are great!Kenny 
What is it that you don't like about your Listening Room ?
It's unconventional, so not my first choice, but it worked out and I like it. The room provided challenges. The front wall is a 10 foot long bearing wall with open space 360 degrees around it. In my case, not a small room problem.Kenny 
Why does my system now have shrill top end.
When you plugged your amp into the P5, did it do anything for the harshness?Kenny 
Vibration isolation
That's a great point about using the Seismic Corners to handle the entire rack. I would have to first get comfortable about having my rack wobble around like my subs when nudged, however. Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm ready for that one yet...But,... 
Vibration isolation
hifiman5,Thanks. My subs have never been spiked. Like my main speakers, the subs started out sitting directly on top of Symposium Super Plus platforms. While these platforms noticeably improved the bass of my main speakers in my old house, the pla... 
Vibration isolation
My problem was mechanical feedback causing my turntable to oscillate from the addition of subs sitting on a wood suspended floor also shared by my rack. I first tried dealing with the turntable by upgrading the feet to Raven Black Night that have ... 
Stand alone tweeter?
Your Tron stages have a relaxed sound, and I would imagine so do your Totems. If the Trons are new they do take time to settle down. Otherwise, you can try plugging your power amp directly into the wall if you currently have them plugged into your... 
Power Conditioner Advice please...
Your sound being better at night is pretty normal, but it doesn't mean you have bad power. I would pick one of the less costly options as mentioned, and test that option at "night." Then, does your system sound better with the conditioner or witho... 
Looking for a monitor with great midrange
audiogabby,Sorry, I missed your 1K budget.Kenny 
Great music few are aware of. Any genre.
Wow, that's a lot. I'm going to limit this to recent albums I've acquired that were unknown to me or that I missed along the way.Enzo Enzo - Ariola BOPL 1004 - This sort of fits into French cafe music. My daughter told me she likes French Cafe mus... 
Looking for a monitor with great midrange
There would still be many to choose from, so do you have a budget?Kenny 
Support table or shelf for turntable
I used the Townshend Isolation Bars under my subs that killed the mechanical feedback coming through my floor and up my rack into my turntable. Before, a loud oscillating wobble sound, but after the Bars, nothing. I am pretty sure that the mechani...
