| Why my left speaker sounds louder then my right +1 for the likelihood of an asymmetrical setup and different first reflection path lengths for each speaker. Try increasing the toe in of the speakers at least temporarily to help reduce the amount of 1st side wall reflections. If more toe in = le... | |
| Best one-chasis CD/SACD player under $15 000? Have you considered a moderate player (e.g. The newest Oppo) that outputs USB into a killer DAC of your chosing instead of a single CD/SACS player?

| Room acoustics Just an idea but can you rotate your system and furnishings 45 degrees so that your speakers straddle the corner? While their outer edges may still be 2 feet close to the nearest wall, their inner edges will be further away, plus now you have the ... | |

| Does anyone make a 1'x1' or a 2'x3' diffusor? Hi Krell_man,I second the DIY route for your Skyline made from wood and stained the way you want.

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hi all,As a Lightspeed customer I came across someone saying that when it comes to nonlinear distortion in the audio range, LDR's are pretty dirty. I know that there is no perfect product, but would someone care to explain and validate this assert... | |
| Room treatments - GIK Vs Acoustimac Hi Milpai,* congrats on the GIK investment - glad to hear that the 4 bass traps are helping.* lateral reflections from side walls tend to pull imaging in the direction of the reflection, so with no side wall 1st reflection absorbers or diffusers i... | |
