Vandies a good fit ?
consider medowlark kestrels.i second to 1c as a better choice with sub for 45wpc amp. 
Placing bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf
Audioadvisor has much better solution for your case is to use wall mounts that can adjust any angle of radiation. Check out for this inexpencive solution. 
Martin Logan CLS panel distortion
Golden ears, they can dip and jump to increadibly high impedance. The best successfull way to deal with them is to bi-amp using OTL that realy cares less about high impedances and beefy SS on the bottom certainly with active crossover.All tube stu... 
Anyone seen the ad for free Mi-Horns?
Newbee, d'u mean "behind" after some green-pea soup with burritos? 
How often do you demagnitize your MC cartridge?
a-little is enough to wage the gradient of random propagation of so-called residual magnetization and compare its effect to a global demagnitization of the whole cartridge along with permanent magnets. also there's always either 0+ or 0- and it ca...

Try to examine tubes in your amplifier. If it's old than upgrade or replacement of passive components should probably take place to bring your amp back to tolal balance. 
Shipping company for speakers- any good or bad one
You can ship them via any-cargo airlines that will deliver it to the recepient's nearest airport where he/she can pick it up. It's darn fast and cost no larger than shipping companies. It's just an inconvenience to make an arrangement with receivi... 
driver moving too much
a warped record will let the speaker driver dance even on moderate and low volumes in my system. 
Vandy 3A Sig owners question
knowing quite good 3a-s i'd think of something extra in the bottom end that will gradually disapear with bassless by nature OTLs. you might consider 2wq to add.

are you shure it's not your amplifier? 
Need some audiogon expertise
Sean, whattafool I always mistake Aragon for Adcom i.e. finger with ...&^%$% if you know what I mean...:-)I think you nailed it with amp/pre synergy since the output impedance of L1 is arround 2k. 
How often do you demagnitize your MC cartridge?
Tom, you forgot to mention magnets that are present in both MC and MM cartridges otherwise there will be no emf i.e. electro-magnetic force.Gmorris,Lyra Helikon manufacturers quote the following:The Lyra Helikon uses a polepiece-less magnetic syst... 
Need some audiogon expertise
Kool,Celtic probably speaking of some magic cables that act sort-of like components giving large bass "extentions" right?Other than that I guess your amp may need an upgrade.Shop for Bryston 3b-st. It's affordable and has a nice deep bass. 
How often do you demagnitize your MC cartridge?
"engineers" get paid to promote nonsence sometimes believe it or not or to promote their own product to demagnetize it in particular. they can fool ya with their knowlege and yo gonna believe as lambs sometimes to wolves instead of sheepherds...i ... 
How often do you demagnitize your MC cartridge?
Wes, you're completely right and you've chosen absolutely the right path to follow advices of engineers instead of marketeers as done by many "pro" audiophiles. I think bases of electronics are easily explainable to everyone in the public and they...
