I would still much prefer a full range floor stander. My goalIs to get my room right. Floor is getting changed out next week now. When it's done I'm going to add back my floor standing treatments one by one to see how it effects things. I think th...

Agear, I respect a man who can use 'shizzle' in a sentence! I'm in new territory with top tier monitors. I liked the Perfect8 Cubes quite a bit. I looked at the Kiss from Vienna - it's basically the top mid/tweeter section of my Muzik with one 9" ...

Dyson fan was actually louder then the one I bought. Picture this:Middle of Bed, Bath and Beyond with people staring at me. Shut off all the fans first to listen to which was quietest, then eventually pulled the one I bought and the Dyson out and ...

Priorities, my dear Erik. First I must focus on getting it to sound good. I must not allow myself to be distracted by such an unimportant thing as comfort when proper acoustics are still unsorted. :)Seriously though, the fan is pretty effective an...

I have a small but strong list of front runners. I am also considering alternative options in the form of monitors with subs as needed. I have some great stuff coming in to help me learn which way to go. Varied and very different designs. I was im...

Yup. I think the Vandy 7 is It in that regard. That's what I thought. I listenend to the Vandy 7 yesterday with Pete and John at Audio Connection. What I learned was 2 important things:1) John is a very nice guy with an extensive fund of knowledge...

Actually, Erik, both. My room is too hot as well. I had to buy a super quiet fan that I kick on when I'm between songs. It's actually a bit on an issue. But I meant sonically. Everyone I have spoken with (including 4 acousticians and people who ma...

Thanks Wisnon. I'll look into it. I am, very interestingly, beginning to feel that although everyone tells me my room is "medium" sized, that I would get the best sound out of a much smaller speaker. Because it is a basement room with concrete flo...

Thanks Bill. I am pretty much 100% positive the M1 I am getting in is the latest greatest kool aid. Speaker hunt is progressing. I need to pull all the damn wall to wall carpet I put in (I'm a dumb ass) and replace it with a faux-wood vinyl floor....

The Polymer Masters are too big and I'm not a fan of side firing woofers in a small room. And they are well over $100k, I think closer to $200k. Thanks for the other tips. I'll read up. There are SO many good speakers out there. I just wish Statem...

Richfield_Hunter - do you know which amp they use for the internal subs? It's that typical 400 watt spec which strongly suggests a Hypex UCD400 or more likely the OEM UCD variant. It's a very good amp and used frequently in the high end world for ...

Damn typos: the top 3 drivers ON that narrow baffle. Polymer would be a HOME run with better low end
