active professional monitors for HT
Things have improved markedly. The monitors are on stands, have had some break-in time and have been tamed by MRC. Theater is awesome. It feels like you are there. Music is really dynamic. More to come. 
Subwoofer suggestion to Integrate w/ Meyer HD-1's
The sub has EQ and so does my Meridian so I am using the G68's and leaving the eq on the sub flat.

I ended up with a JL Audio F113. It seems like a pretty good match... 
Any good Audio stores in and around Portland?

I am working on integrating three Meyer Sound HD-1's into my system. I bought three of them and am breaking them in now. My first impression is that they are very analytical, realistic and energetic. I also picked up a Meridian G68 that I am tryin...

Going into the dark side.....please help
I worried too much about getting a "child proof" system at first as I had a two year old when I started this hobby. It might just be my kid but I have always told him "not to touch my stereo!" and it has worked. I sometimes have to remind him when...

I spent a couple hours setting up the G68 but there is a lot more there than I can figure out right now. The PLII is much better than before and the Trifield is pretty nice too but there is still too much "energy" or something that makes listening... 
Neil Young at Massey Hall
Thanks for the recommendation Dodgealum. I played the disk last night for the first time and it is awesome! I have seen Neil many times and the solo-acoustic shows have always been my favorite.

Thanks Shadorne, I am concerned that the X-800's might be too much for my space. Am I wrong?I noticed in your system you use a sub with your ATC's which have similar freq. response as the Meyers. How is that working for you? 
Bel Canto Pre3 vs Musical Fidelity A308CR
With new active speakers the PRe3 sounds better. Go figure. I am not ready to give up on the Candela yet though. I will try it again after some speaker break-in. 
Long run speaker wires
