Videos of your System
@roxy54I understand what you are saying but the YouTube video channel I referenced has several videos that compare components or speakers against each other playing music on his system. I know it's almost impossible to hear the difference over co...

Stillpoints Aperture or Synergistic UEF panels Which one?
I also have (4) 16" ASC tube traps in corners behind my speakers.  They work so well with the Apertures and control a different area of the frequency....I would never sell my ASC tube traps. 
Stillpoints Aperture or Synergistic UEF panels Which one?
