How does one get off the merry-go-round?
jmslaw, i don't see it that way - if some amazing gnu *affordable* technology came out that provide the *perfect* reproduction of live sound (whatever that is - i've gone to some comcerts & thought it sounded better at home!), i'd be happier t...

What is ceiling smear?
snooker's post is prolly more informative than mine, :>) but 1st-reflections from the ceiling can be ameliorated w/acoustical panels, the same way ewe deal w/them from the side-walls: place the panel at the point where ewe could see the speaker...

Thiel 3.6s with MacIntosh Amplifier?
thiel 3.6's present a difficult load to an amp - yer amp better output lotsa current! that said, i don't think 3.6's wood be any *more* difficult a load than the 3.5. the 3.5, w/its active equalizer, has a rise of some 20db at 20hz - a *wery* diff...
