Best Speaker Placement Rules you've used?
Hi,I used the Cardas style method as well, following Diagramm C. Mainly because my room is 10.5 x 17 ft, exactly in the golden ratio. It worked really well, although I thought the palcement looked ridiculaous at first.Furthermore, here is a great ... 
Were to go after a Rega Planet 2000?
I have just stepped up from an original Planet to an Audio Aero Prima. I really liked my old Planet and was looking for a long time (6 months with Linn Genki, 2 months with Unico CD) and could not find a replacement that pulls me as much into the ...

Best of Audiogon Members
I have only been around for a little more than a year, but this is a really nice community to be in with lots of great members. I completely agree with Tireguy on this oneI would like to mention Marco (Jax2) for his great music recommendations.TWL... 
Who's got the best user name?
I just saw a for sale add by "Superhonestben". That one must help sales. The signature of "clueless" is great as well. And "Newbee" isn't quite that much of a newbee any more with 833 threads answered.And "Slappy" is probably the most appropriate ... 
Cable to connect Linn Classik to Dynaudio spkrs?
A pair of Solar Winds might work well (used for about $150-200). I have used them in an all Linn system and they worked very well. Detailed, fast, and involving. Also the Nordost bananas work as BFA (Linn) connectors so that no retermination is ne... 
Is 9'x11' too small?
Saki70, I had a diagonal placement in one of my previous rooms and loved it. Only problem the room has to be pretty much square to do that, which yours seems to be. Only thing that gets slightly difficult in the diagonal placement is to place spea... 
PC Burn-In: IEC Adaptor from Radio Shack?
Hdm, I just looked at the Startech and I agree with you that it it the correct one. It has the same connections as the stayonline adapter, exept that it uses a cable in between and costs slightly more :) 
PC Burn-In: IEC Adaptor from Radio Shack?
Take a look at www.stayonline.com where the adapters can be had for $3 each. Shipping should be around $6 though.IEC C14 to NEMA 5-15R AdapterAlso the adapters are only $12.99 on Chris' VH audio website and he is a really nice person to deal with.... 
Is 9'x11' too small?
And one more comment: The article doesn't mention this but this table also works for a speaker placement check. The speaker should NOT sit at a postion with frequency peaks since it will be very easy to excite these room modes. For speakers "nulls... 
Is 9'x11' too small?
Hi again, I just found this great link to Ultimate AV website (Don't run away because of the V in the titel), which offers an Excel spreadsheat to calculate room modes. The sheat further calculates the frequency peaks and nulls at your listening p... 
Is 9'x11' too small?
One more suggestion: Since you still have them in your bigger space, I would try to place them 5-6 feet apart, toed in, and sitting about 6 feet away. That might give you an idea on what to expect with respect to soundstage and near field listenin... 
Is 9'x11' too small?
Jh2os, I had them on the short wall, about 2 foot from the sides and three feet from the back. The best listening position is probably about 5-6feet from your speakers a little away from the back wall. Actually the wall behind your listening chair... 
Is 9'x11' too small?
The previous room for my system had exactly that size (9x11 x 8 high) and a very similar setup to the one you are planning. What is the ceiling height? Probably 8 or 9 feet as well. You might have some trouble with the 50-60Hz peak (first room mod... 
Serendipity: perfect example
Hi Warren,Last time we moved I played around with speaker placement: I ended up with the speakers only 6ft away from in an equilateral triangle. It looked ridiculously close to me as well. My wife looked strangely at me when she saw the placement,...
