Room treatments - GIK Vs Acoustimac
Jdub39,I have 2 of those behind me and I sit about 3 feet away. My room is small.Cjl,I have mentioned above that I went with GIK. They were pretty helpful and took a very conservative approach in getting my room treated. I have 2 tri-traps, 2 Mons... 
Monitors or floor speakers for small room?
22 X 12 is small? You might be thinking I have setup my system in a closet (13.5 X 12.5). 
Beware MSS Hifi, avoid Fraud
Sabai,That story of yours is something I was not aware of. I always though of EMM as a "must be a great firm". But that experience you shared is a disappointment. 
Think your speakers are positioned correctly?
What timing to read this thread.I spent last night completing my speaker setup. It has taken many months to come to this final config. I measure with a tape measure, but also sketch the layout in a book with the complete measurements. I number (an... 
Kimber, Signal or Blue Jeans?
How can you even pass up on such a good deal on the Signal Cable Ultra cables? Go for it!! 
upgrade cables
Sgr,I began with Signal Cable Silver Resolutions between my CDP and an integrated amp that I do not have any more. With that, I had the Nordost 4 Flat bi-wires for my speaker cables. The Silver Res had replaced the Nordost Blue Heavens (on loaner ... 
upgrade cables
Langood,I highly recommend the Signal Cable Silver Resolutions. Been using them for years now. I have the same power amp as you - Parasound A21. The difference between these and the Analog Two, is that the Silvers have better resolution and imagin... 
Ayre, wow
I have heard neither of the amps you mentioned. But I prefer the speakers to disappear, rather than the sounds coming from them. For me, that is the magic of "stereo".But, to each his own. 
Biwire speakers
Check your speaker manual. If they mention that bi-wiring provides better sound, then go for it. I have experienced both and feel that bi-wiring did help - FOR MY SPEAKERS. 
Room treatments - GIK Vs Acoustimac
That is something I would be wary of, Hornguys.I went ahead with GIK and have 2 tri-traps, 2 monster bass and 2 244 panels. Doing some listening and fine tuning the speaker positions before making sure I need or do not ned more panels. 
Any hope for SACD?
Give me a player like the Cary 306 SACD Professional Version and I wouldn't care about the formats. With the format wars, there is no hope for us. 
Room treatments - GIK Vs Acoustimac
Kiwi,I think I have visited your system, multiple times when I was researching on room treatments. You have a great system and room. Thanks for the link. Will go through it. BTW, that site is on my Audio bookmarks. Nice site.I am a big believer in... 
Quad 21L vs. 22L2 Sonic differences?
22L2 is an upgrade from 22L. Similarly there is a 21L2 that is an upgrade from 21L.On the Quad sites, they now list 23L. The 21L2 and 22L2 are no longer shown. Some UK sites also sell 25L.http://www.quad-hifi.co.uk/Series.aspx?lang=En&Tab=L%20... 
Room treatments - GIK Vs Acoustimac
I was listening late tonight and noticed that if I move my chair closer to the back wall, towards where I have the GIK Monster Panels installed, I get better bass definition. I was actually advised that I needed to move my chair at least 3 feet aw... 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
I find these speakers intriguing. Been keeping my eyes open for a review. I came across a recent article that mentions that they speakers may be made overseas:http://www.stereoaudio.com.au/evolution-acoustics-mmmicroone-loudspeaker/#more-254
