Large Speakers Small Rooms
What do you mean by "large" floorstander? Is any floorstander considered large? Is there a cone diameter, say 8" or above that you consider large? i have floorstanding speakers with a footprint of 7.5Wx 10D that I wouldn't consider large. What do ... 
What tattoo to get next?
Okay if you're a true audiophile it means you can't leave well alone. So if you get a tat, you'll begin to like it for some reason, then you'll come up with better ideas for more tats, more places and pretty soon (just like the search for the perf... 
Why Sellers Forget To Update Ads, Sold/ Pending
I guess I've been pretty lucky. if I 've inquired about an item that doesn't say "sold or sale pending", the seller has pleasantly emailed back saying that they"re just waiting on money from an accepted offer and they will let me know if the deal ... 
Affordable, discreet cable for surround speakers
I use Nordost Cinepro for my 4 surrounds. It's small silver plated copper and usually comes in bulk. I think I paid about $2 a foot. If you're going through walls, it's a bit stiffer than many other cables so it might be just what you're looking f... 
Does "Non Compensated" Reviewing Still Exist?
I often find there is plenty of (I really don't want to use the word negative) objective information in the body of many articles. What is important is that you don't read the last paragraph where the reviewer endorses the piece of equipment they ... 
HT Room B&W 804's or 805's?
In the last cople of days, thee have been threads about the Parasound JC-1 and Aragon vs Anthem equipment. You might want to look at those. B&K can be a safe choice and you might include a Rotel 1075 or 1095 for audition. 
Does your system's sound change with the weather?
If it starts raining before I can put plastic over everything, the amp shorts out, sparks everywhere. If we get a lot of snow, I can't hardly find the components, but the speakers are towers and more readily recognized as large white lumps. On sun...

So Slappy, who wins and is it still Japanese dubbed in English?

Purist Audio & Stereophile
You know, I ran across something else that might be of some interest. There seem to be a number of our members who contact various cable companies (smaller ones if i remember correctly) and try to work deals. The deal comes in the form of: If you ... 
Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory?
It's good to see so many followers. Sean, even if you're just repeating previous info, at least you remember it. Some of us are at an age when much of our info takes on a dyslexic form when we are fortunate enough to remember it. We need reminding... 
Newbie with $1500 and a wife pushing for Bose
Trade, trade, trade. Is there something your wife wants or wants you to do (something you've been putting off, perhaps)? Sometimes you've got to give to get. My setup has cost two more horses, three more dogs and all of the equipment for my wife t... 
B&K harsh sound
I own a B&K receiver and have listened to Monitor audio speakers. I would suggest that this is not the best match. I found Monitor speakers bright and constricted even when played through a Pass Labs amp. Be aware the B&K is still solid st... 
REL or Veloydne Subwoofer
I suggested the REL because of the ablility to blend with other speakers, as Charles mentioned a problem tweeking the sub w/the Dynaudios. Sub EQ is great for room probs but doesn't assure any better blending. REL connection options provide for a ... 
What other obsessions do you have?
Three horses, four dogs, two children under 7 and a barn cat; I'm afraid I just don't have time.......
