| Frustrated with the sound of my system I thought I would give you some updates in terms of what I have been trying. Based on your input I moved around the room. The speakers are now centered on a wall, about 3 feet off the back wall and about 9 feet apart. The listening position is sti... | |
| Frustrated with the sound of my system Guys(figuratively), I really appreciate all the lively discussion. I will have the house to myself for the majority of the week, so I will experiment with speaker placement and listening position. There is a wealth of information from you and you ... | |

| will adding a subwoofer improve overall audio I have a relatively modest system in a small room (Sonic Frontiers pre, Classe amp, Rotel/MSB front end, North Creek Music speakers with Kimber and Cardas wiring. I added an M&K sub right before they went out of business. For me the addition a... | |
| Question about tubes in the old days When I was in high school (70's) I had a Dynaco SCA-35 integrated amp...about 17 watts/side using EL-84 tubes. I listened to that thing for hours on end. I never replaced a tube. When I went to college I moved to a Pioneer solid state receiver. Fa... | |
