Speaker disappearing act?
Warren, You should know what a disappearing speaker is. My Caravelle's completely disappear when I have them set up correctly. I just sit there wondering why I have these two boxes sitting there in the middle of my soundstage.Chuck 
Anybody still using soft rubber isolation devices?

A mistake spending too much on amplification?
You've got some good speakers. Why don't you really upgrade your amps and get a pair of Herron M150 monoblocks to match your pre-amp?
