| Room Treatment for a My last house had the same type of room. I used gik traps in the front corners shaped to fit the slope ceiling, Michael Greene room tunes for 1st reflection points, and a gik super bass trap. I just built a custom home with a dedicated room above ... | |
| Help - new house - new setup? I would recommend: Usher BE-10 or BE-20, Revel Salon 2. With the usher BE-20's you probably won't need your subwoofer, but with any of these speakers, you will need a good amp with power to drive the woofers.Good luck | |

| Hegel H300 I currently have the H100 and will probably upgrade to the H300 at some point but right now I'm enjoying the H100 with my Usher MD II's. The H300 sounded very good at RMAF last year. | |

| Mac set-up you should do it yourself and have learning new things. It's not that difficult and starting small (# of rips), you really can't mess anything up that can't be redone. Get the best Mac Mini you can afford (CPU and memory wise), extra HDD or NAS ty... | |
| HELP Mac-mini or Macbook Pro Mac miniyou don't need a laptop plus the mac mini is so quiet, has more ports to work with. You really don't need the portable functionality of a laptop when it is going to sit on your rack. | |
| Classe CA-201 Issue I had the same problem and it turned out to be the preamp. | |
| Totem Arro vs Totem Sttaf. Which one image better? The arro's are very nice sounding speaker, especially for their size, I used to own them. But they are no comparison to the Hawks or forests with the right equipment. I've heard the Hawks in a smaller room with nice equipment and they sounded fant... | |
| RMAF 2014 Observations I wasn't impressed with RMAF this year. It felt there were less vendors and less people. From what some vendors told me is that there is just too many shows to attend.I really liked the room with the TAD speakers that were doing the mono demonstra... |
