No... my room is for math..... 18x24 with my speakers on the 24" wall. My room is all angles and wraps around to the kitchen and on the 24" side is dining room. I have a semi cath sealing and a tre ceiling in the dining area. I don" think I have a... 
Speaker distance and tow in?????/
Thats what I was looking for. The 1.2 times speaker dist. I am also going to try and figure out how to pull the speakers out and not get my wife in a tizzy....LOL! While I know it is try it and listen..... I do like to have a "basic" starting poin... 
Anyone use a Ringmat on a TT
sean....or anyone ..... setting your TT on a marble block? Is that supposed to help? My rack is heavy and with the 80lb Bryston amp on the bottom shelf would seem to be enough??????My room is on a concrete slab plus carpet. 
Legacy Classics and bottom end?
Entrope..... I am glad you like your classics. Sean has a good point. They may not be "user friendly"to some. But the fact remains that there are hundreds if not thousnads by now, people who love the products. I prefer the Legacy "sound" over the ... 
Legacy Classics and bottom end?
sean....I pluigged the ports with hard foam. I have not had the "sizzle" you had or the flying V effect. What I do and have is room/speaker placement .... sub effect increase. If you remember the old B&W 801's they suffered even more than my c... 
Legacy Classics and bottom end?
sean.... I plugged the ports. I called Legacy and they said it would not harm the speakers. I am going to give it time as you suggested. I have also ordered a burn in / work out cd to see if that will "speed up" the process. 
Legacy Classics and bottom end?
Legacy tower speakers have always suffered from room placement where the bass output is increased to a point of negitive. I have always woundered why they do not have one of the switches on the back "adjust" for what seems a common problem. They e... 
Legacy Classics and bottom end?
I ordered the Signal bi-wire speaker cable. Plus the whole set. Interconnects,power cords ect. I got one set of the silver interconnect. I thought I would try it between my cd player. 
Best turntable for easy setup and no maintenence?
I got a Music Hall MMF-7 with cart for 1,000 bucks. I was told this is a good place to start. I will tell you that vinyl will not sound like a CD. I like it. I wonder if I should go with that EAR phono preanp. The musical surroundings is good... b... 
Legacy Classics and bottom end?
Sean..... what is "sonic combo"? Plus, If I shut off all ports can it damage the speakers? I have always thought Legacy could have built/ wanted > the Classic with 2 8" drivers. ( a Classic 8 ) 2 fast 8" drivers could put out a lot of bass and ... 
MH MMF-7 seems high/lean/bright sounding?
Note: I made one BIG mistake using the sure guage. In order to get 1.7 tracking you have to go to the 2nd line. I doubled at 1.5 plus....giving way too heavy. I readjusted and things seem a LOT better! Before I do any more "fine tune" on tracking ... 
Balanced to unbalanced?
I ran into this issue with my Bryston SP 1.7. It has balanced and RCA. I use Pro Audio gear and it is all balanced. But even though the Sp 1.7 has balanced out puts the analog path is unbalanced. To use balanced the Bryston breaks off the unbalanc... 
Norah Jones?
I like her a lot. She is a talent. I really like Keb Mo too. He might not have the best voice or musician but he is Unique and that part of talent I like.....the music. I don't like Rap Opera or some of the country twang ...... but just about any ... 
Bryston 4B-SST vs. 6B-SST
I agree with you on the 2 channel part for stereo play back. Thats what I like about the most on my Sp 1.7. I have a great 2 channel preamp. I went to vinyl for 2 reasons. DVD and SACD selection. Plus I have gotten great NEW lp's off ebay cheap! I...
