something is not right here and it's on purpose!!!

Tekton speakers with Ribbon / AMT ??
The most experienced person with these I know is teajay, and he talked me out of the Be tweeter. Not that it took much. One of the many beauties of the design is the organic continuity of using the same driver over so much of the range. Essentiall... 
Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position
It would be great though if I could solve this without subs. I wonder if bass traps would allow me to turn my subs up more while still retaining cleaner bass. So here's how that works. In order to get even bass the conventional way you have to ... 
New analog rig(t.t.,tonearm,phono drive)
Your pods are dry. The table should not "shimmy". The pods are nothing more than a spring inside an aluminum cylinder. There's paddles attached to the spring. The whole thing is supposed to be full of silicone damping fluid. The idea is the spring...

You can play with them till the end of time, no amount of moving them around will have the least effect on the underlying physics. Been there. Done that. Found a better way. Don't do that no mo. 
Is Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) sexist?
Archie was the first sitcom audiophile. His chair was right in the sweet spot. Only  we never saw the system because of the camera angle.

Tekton speakers with Ribbon / AMT ??
He's been slammed with orders pretty much nonstop for at least a year now. Summer usually is slower but not this year.  My Moab story started similar to yours only with the better Ulfberht tweeters. All was fine until build day and the reality hit... 
New analog rig(t.t.,tonearm,phono drive)
The Basis 2001 was my first table. With Graham 2.2, Benz Micro, ARC PH3SE it served me well for many years. The silicone damping fluid slowly evaporates away- if you haven't checked yours is probably gone. That's the only problem with this fine if... 
Do Audiophile Cables Matter? Here's PROOF!
I was raised on Julian Hirsch "wire is wire", absolutely convinced for a good 20 years that my freebie patch cords were as good as it gets. Until one day I brought one of my freebie patch cords into a store and the owner let me compare side by sid...

Let us know what he says two months from now when he's actually getting ready to build them.  
Blu Ray Ring
Excuse me. I think you mean the Riders of Rohan. 
something is not right here and it's on purpose!!!
Look, its one thing to knock digital. Any medium that starts off as "perfect sound forever" then spends the next 40 years pretending to be objectively better than vinyl while at the same time reserving 'analog like' as its highest goal is just unb... 
Why are there so many wooden speakers?
Can you post some photos of your system? Just curious about the speakers you have chosen for yourself right now. Harder than it sounds. He is still working with the National Park Service on getting a permit to install his speakers in the only wa... 
Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position
I did play with the delay of the subs based on what Tom wrote at PSA where he said you should add about 1msec delay for every foot away the sub is from you. So I have 1 sub that is 3 feet away facing me and 1 sub in the back left corner that ...
