Bass traps
Instead of hit-and-miss, there are logical approaches to this which will maximimize the chance of success. Just throwing in panels and traps is not the way. Take a look at www.realtraps.com or www.rivesaudio.com for useful information. You do not ... 
Improving sound in the room
Not egg trays but compressed fiberglass. Good for absorbtion and the thicker the better for bass (and placed in corners). See www.realtraps.com or www.rivesaudio.com for ideas.Kal 
Mainstream reviews-why so few?
Ha! Two very different Jonathans!Kal 
Mainstream reviews-why so few?
" They assigned it to Jonathon Valin. He jumped ship and went to Stereophile taking the Timbre with him." Really? I doubt it.Kal 
aes ebu connections

How do I bi-amp using NuForces and tubes?
The Jolida will work but, since you are using it only as a potentiometer, why not just add a pot to the higher gain amp?Kal 
How do I bi-amp using NuForces and tubes?
How will you balance the two amps for gain? Odds are, they are different. 
ISO of AM/FM/XM Tuner

What sub for B&W HTM1d and 802ds?
1. You do not move concrete and that's OK.2. I am afraid you left out all the useful info, so...3. What pre/pro are you using and what bass management does it have?4. Have you measured your room's modes or, even, just the FR?Kal 
Does anybody know when...
The rumors were well-founded but premature. NYC in 2007.Kal 
ARTEMIS EOS... with bass modules
Wonderful speakers. Reviewed them years ago and still miss themKal 
Consumer Electronic Show ?

Bel Canto S300 vs Channel Islands D-100
I am using a setup similar to that described by Gregc with 3 REF1000s up front and an S300 for the surrounds with satisfaction and without incident. In addition, while the REF1000s are nicely synergistic with some speakers (to be named), they have...
