| Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio Kazmann,I have heard all these speakers over the last year and you are right on in targeting the Sashas. I used to *hate* Wilsons, but not anymore. It is remarkable to me that they have done such a remarkable makeover on the house sound of their "... | |
| Find the weak link to help me spend $800 or so Nice set up. I can't help myself either - priority for upgrades: -Power supply for new room - 10 guage romex with dedicated breaker and decent outlet(s)-acoustics of room, room treatments on wall surfaces, windows and corners-a really secure found... | |

| Sealing ported enclosure to reduce boom "Sealing" the port is a bad idea. The drivers and crossover were designed to work with the port open, at least to some degree. The suggestions to play with positioning away from boundaries and partially blocking the port with foam or even a sock a... | |
| Buzz/hum from amps, NOT from speakers Did you ever fix your problem? Were you able to determine anything regarding the Belkin Power conditioner's performance beyond not being able to fix your specific problem - i.e. any positive or negative effects on the overall sound of your system?... | |
| Line Conditioner:To plug or not to plug Big Amp in Peter, very nice system. Great power cord solution, eliminating all but connection to breaker and one IEC connector. Talk about minimalist approach. | |
| Line Conditioner:To plug or not to plug Big Amp in Has anybody tried the Belkin PF-60 with moderate to high power audiophile amplifiers? I am using a PureAV PF-30 for a small office system and absolutely love it - cleans up grunge in very dirty AC with no apparent dynamic compression. Best bargain... |
