Is an eight sided oval room acoustically correct?
Thanks Rives. The damn plant is so big that it sticks out two feet out into the room, so curtains are out. My wife already thinks I'm nuts and since this is the basicly the Hi Fi room she doesn't say much about what I do in here.This is more or le...

Bigkidz, what are you using for outlets? 
Is an eight sided oval room acoustically correct?

Will our MC for the festivities gain the stage?
Twl, don't most transformers negate the performance advantages of low output MC's. I know that their are some out their that must be good. I was told that the Jensen transformers made in england are very good but where would you get one?. I have e...

Black Diamond Racing products under speakers?
I am having second thoughts about the pods under the main speakers. They seem to solve some problems and cause some new ones. I need to experiment further when I have some time. They seem to allow for a more dynamic persentation but now I am heari... 
Anyone know anything about the Magic Diamond Blue?
