| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Put that 9 foot couch at the other end of your room! Keep the space between the speakers as clear as possible! A wide, medium-height equipment rack against the wall would be acceptable. You can put your components on it and run shorter lengths of ... | |

| Bargain audio shopping in a time machine... I would go back to July 1991 and Hi Fi Classics in Far Rockaway, Ny. They had two pairs of original owner KLH Nines for sale. $500 a pair.
