Is my ceiling too low?
Add some diffusion on your ceiling. Auralex makes some excellent diffusors. I have a similar basement ceiling problem. As Viridian noted above find the first reflection points and use a combo of diffusion and absorption panels. This can really mak... 
All the Roadrunning by Mark Knopfler and Emmy Lou
I heard several cuts at a friend's house. Neither he nor I were impressed and I'm glad I saved the money. The recording is compressed, it seems like the Knopfler decided to accent his guitar work instead of the vocals. Harris's vocals sound shrill... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Has anyone compared the latest DACs with the Levinson 30.6 and 31.5 combo? How close is it to the SOTA? I'm interested in Redbook only. I currently own a 360s/31.5 and have seen some info on this thread concerning the 360s DAC, but not the 30.6 wh... 
Revel B 15 sub,crossover question
I'm using a pair of Sub 30s. The high pass filter works quite well. The addition brought my system up a couple of levels. I'm told it is better than the B-15s. 
I'm Looking for some great electronic music
Do a search for Tonto Rides Again if you want the grand daddy of them all. There may be a download available of this rare and out of print CD. 
Mark Levinson 32 and reliability
Oh yeah, big upgrade over the 38, and you'll never have to wonder if your tubes are still good or gone microphonic! 
Mark Levinson 32 and reliability
I've never had a lick of trouble with mine. 
Best Place to get Levinson 27.5 Amp repaired
Just call Levinson, 781.280.0300. Ask for Levinson service. Richard is outstadning to talk with and very helpful. He'll explain all of your options. 
LARGER SWEET SPOT WANTED Von Schweikert ?
I'm not sure what speaker system you have. I would try repostioning your speakers first. One method I have used with my Revels, is to mount a laser pointer to a yard stick and use it while following Newbee's advice above. The laser pointer is a bi... 
How Do I Build a Faraday Cage?
I would try to attract an African Grey Parrot to your cage as they are the "High end" in talking birds. Sorry I can't help with the Faraday cage, but I'm hoping to learn more on this post. I did look at your Funhouse though and I'll bet you have a... 
Stereo subs for Avalon Ascendant?
I'm currently using to Revel Sub 30s with excellent results in a two channel system. Look up Adidadi under member look up he usually can give you great deals and service on Revel products. Also, doesn't Avalon make subs, they might sound the best ... 
Bryston Amp for Magnepan 3.5R
I second the vote for bridging the amps. This option would be the most cost effective, although there are reportedly sonic tradeoffs when amps are bridged. I biamped my MG-IIIs with excellent results for many years. You could use one amp for each ... 
Bryston Amp for Magnepan 3.5R
I would jump into the 7b, Krell, Rowland, or Levinson. The 3B and 4B will not have enough power. 
Jonny Cash
The Folsom Prison CD sounds excellent and is a remarkable example of a live performance by the Man in Black. I recently purchased Johnny Cash at San Quentin and was very disappointed. The sound is constricted and heavily compressed and this was th... 
Double your pleasure with same cable throughout?
So far, the best I've used from SR is the Res Ref cable. I will be trying Designers Reference to connect my DAC to the preamp. I also will try the higher levels of speaker cables and the digital cables at some point. I believe that the Res Ref fam...
