| Projector question I second the Panasonic 4000 - great colors and black contrast levels - way better than an LCD flat TV (frankly these are awful and I'd recommend a plasma if you go flat screen) | |

| Phase Distortion - Speaker/Amplifiers Here is a layman explanation. It is full of speculation (much of which is doubtful) but the basic explanation is correct and there are some further links.phase DistortionIMHO phase distortion is way over rated.For sure there are extremely subtle a... | |
| How does the drum kit sound on your rig? To get the full effect of a live kit in-room, I think I'd need about 2,000 wpc driving a pair of Wilson Alexandrias or equivalent from YG, MagicoA pair of ATC 100 ASL and an ATC 0.1/15 is more than sufficient in most home environments. Drummer and... | |

| Room Treatment for Corners - Recommendations? See above - post by Kal - all are good. GIK tri-traps are great for corners - you need at least two and preferably four to make a noticeable difference, and 8 would be ideal in the majority of cases. | |
| How does the drum kit sound on your rig? Mine Sounds exactly like a drum kit is there in the room. I should know because I have a drum kit also. You need an appropriate recording like Sheffield labs drum tracks as most drums are compressed on the majority of commercially available music.... | |

| Active monitors, 3k used, great nearfield sound Try also Genelec 8040A (warmer than ATC but clinical). Focal Twin 6 Be (splashy and fun). JBL, KRK, Dynaudio and Adam also make good actives in this price range - so try to hear a few to see which sounds right for you. | |
| Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences In Druid there is no interior taper and no progressivity in managing the rear wave. What you are suggesting is that it is even simpler - a quarter wave pipe. | |
| Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences FWIW - these speakers do wonderfully well with a flea powered amplifier. They definitely have some major advantages for some. | |
| Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences I respect your opinion, but really that`s all it is Agreed. Same goes for me and Dock's comments about the measured response. Just think of it as a service to prospective buyers and the OP - to be aware of some of the limitations of the products ... | |
| Art Blakey, king of the drums. Compare my last video with this version played with the same horns and a different rhythm section.Cold SweatThis is Melvin Parker on drums (Maceo's brother). You can still feel the tension and release but the overall feel is much more laid back th... |
