Break in period
Grab yourself a pair (maybe not all brands) of the various single driver speakers on the market and spend some time with them and then tell us break-in is a myth. I have heard some changes in sound that had me downright scratching my head from day... 
music these days....
Stop hatin', justlisten...or not.One thing I have found is that if music is not from our generation, our moment of connectedness we tend to be more critical, it's always been that way. To the kids of this generation it makes sense to them, it's th... 
Subwoofer Power Cord Suggestions
"I don’t need EQ. My sub is positioned perfectly."You're luckier than most then, I wish I didn't need my bass traps and EQ.I'll second TVAD's Flavor 4 suggestion, I tried it and it worked for me. 
Subwoofer Power Cord Suggestions
That $600 could also buy you a Velodyne SMS-1 to EQ the sub and would do far more than any powercord I can think of, unless you're sub is already benefiting from EQ.Which REL sub do you have? 
Anyone going to see the Police?
Passed on The Police at Dolphins Stadium and went with Al Jarreau & George Benson at a more intimate venue. 
Paradigm Servo 15 V2
I spent time auditioning the Paradigm Servo 15 V2, Velodyne DD18 and ACI Maestro. All were very good performers with the Velo being the slight better of the three. Either sub would be good to own, all went low (25hz) with good performance and all ... 
HiFi lacking social recognition?
Interesting, I've read a few things and it surely seems that most people would rather invest in putting together a home theater system vs a hi-end audio system. And it had little to do with money, whether it was $1,000 or 50,000. Including buildin... 
Paradisea dac with Monarchy upsampler?
I echo Gmood1's comments on the Paradisea Dac/Monarchy upsampler combo, good combination. If you are considering PC Audio, you might also want to consider the Constantine USB DAC which is essientially the Paradisea without the tube. That way if yo... 
Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps?
>>>Cayin versus Jolida? I don't think so. They are both low-mid fi imported products.You get what you pay for is correct.<<<<<So what exactly am I getting if I buy a $4000 mid low fi Cayin or Jolida product?Thanks 
Any UFC fans out there?
I tried early on, it was much more brutalk yars ago. But I tapped out, it's just too violent for me. What I really liked early on what the presence of jiu jitsu with the Grace clan. But now it just seems like a bash your skull in bloodsport and it... 
How high is your soundstage?
Tboooe,Might I suggest you double check ALL your system connections. And even swap or reconfigure some connections just to see if that brings about any changes. Something just doesn't add up. 
Gallo Reference 3.1 with/without the subwoofer amp
Depends on your listening preferences, room size and associated gear. I would try them w/o the sub amp first and see how you like it. Some have gotten the sub amp and found it wasn't necessary for their needs. Other need and want the added effect.... 
Speaker disappearing act?
What are the dimensions of your room and your relative seating position? Are they any additional room treatments besides what's shown in your photo. I have not heard your speakers but am puzzled as to why your soundstage/imaging is as subpar as yo... 
Speaker disappearing act?
Tboooe,It may be your room layout and seating position etc... Your gear seems more than competent. I will admit to expecting to see far lesser gear when you stated your issue. After living with Gallo 3.1's, those things get out of the way without ... 
Godfather of soul is gone.
He'll be missed by me, he was an entertainer!I saw Dreamgirls today, The Godfather was still living strong in Eddie Murphy.R.I.P.
