| What is a minimum room size for 1.7 Maggies? My MG12's do their thing(mains, in a bi-amped system) in an 11X13X8 space. It's all about room treatment & placement(you and them). YES- diffusers behind them, if they're close to the wall. One nice thing: you don't have to worry much about si... | |
| New tubes biasing problems Put the original power tubes back in and see if they will bias properly(if you haven't already used the amp with them). If it turns out to be the new tube; YES- the provider should most definitely replace that tube, with one that matches the rest ... | |

| Better sound Hi Larry- Regarding, "better": Like I said in my first post; it's a matter of preference(completely subjective) and YMMV. By all means: experiment! If I had exposed hardwood; it would just have to suffer(a matter of priorities)! Metal under spikes... | |
| Better sound Hi Shakey- If he were thinking of raising them several inches, I'd have to agree(beyond already agreeing with your recommendation to experiment). | |
| Better sound Mr T- Stillpoints dealers are supposed to have demo pieces avaiable, for your audition. The Stillpoints are excellent for electronics and isolation from extraneous vibrations. They would not, however, couple a speaker cabinet to the floor, help dr... | |
