| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT Ctsooner, I did control the volume at both dealerships I auditioned speakers at today. Mostly because the owner/staffpersons there handed the remote to me at the beginning of each audition. I did raing and lowering the volume and listening bot ins... | |

| Revel F228BE Ugh, I just posted I was going to here these demoed this week. Thanks for the info they're Chinese made. I've had nothing but bad luck with Chinese products due to quality control issues. So I'll not take a chance on their audio components. I'm no... | |

| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Twoleftears, good call. It is Audio Exchange on West Broad St. I was thinking of, not Audio Art. As far as the "boonies go, my next door neighbors are cows, so I'm feeling this locale qualifies for that appellation. I love the countryside though, ... | |

| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT That's good advice to differentiate between quantity and quality of bass. I'll keep it in mind when I'm listening to speaker demos this week, hopefully. I've got to organize all these good tips I've been getting. Maybe cutting and pasting a cheat ... | |

| Best building material for vibration free shelving n80, you speak the truth. Years ago old pine, especially heartwood could be used for flooring due to its hardness, for example. Couldn't imagine any pine you find nowadays at the big box stores being used for that purpose. Mike | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Thanks for mentioning the Neat speakers Larry. I've never heard of them before. I'll look at them while I'm at Command. I'll make sure I explore normal listening levels as you suggest too. Deja Vu does sound interesting. I'm probably going to hav... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving Kingrex, I've been happily listening to my $790.00 pair of Dahlquist DQ-10's since 1976. So you're way ahead of me with with your Pure Audio Project Trio 10's. Since you mentioned the Trio 10's, I went and looked up a review on them, which coinci... | |
