| Near-field speaker placement One needs to experiment for one's self. Can you position speakers along either wall? I have found it best when speakers are placed forward of front wall and away from side walls. Listener should be forward of back wall. This obviously becomes diff... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker All I know is that i am very interested in hearing a pair of the Pulsars. I plan to search out a dealer in the Midwest and have a visit. | |

| Looking for a Cd player/ transport. Great that it worked out for you! The Onkyo is truly well built for it's price point. Have you tried it direct to your amp to know how it sounds as a stand alone player? | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Markus, congrats on your retirement! I am retired, it is a great life. Affords more time to muck around with audio concerns :-). | |

| Pyramid speakers I also owned for a brief time a pair of Sequerra's 11s, don't remember designation, were box like and meant to be set on the floor and were angled upward. Sold them and understand they are still in service by purchaser. |
