Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Monitor
I do like Carvelle ice cream. Tends to soften up over time. Quite liquid. Left an indelible impression. 
Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Monitor
>Don't have a clue how they compare to anythingWell if you don't have a clue how they compare to anything else, why do you think they better compare with speakers costing $3000 and up more than they do? That doesn't seem to make any sense, so w... 
Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Monitor
After only three weeks break-in you are in hysteria, that is, over-dramatizing. Wow, I can't wait until another three weeks have passed to see what adjectives you use then.BTW, how do these compare to the superb Europas? Why hasn't anyone else men... 
Advice on Odyssey Nightingale
I am not criticizing Odyssey at all, but I don't think the resale value of those speakers should be quite as high as the first poster suggests. Maybe if they were one year old.... 
Best $1k pair of floor standing speakers?
Eminents LFT VIIIa's are not 1k speakers, nor even that close any more.If you think of that price for new and want something approaching full range and a more or less known quantity, then you have Vandersteen 1, Maggie 12, the 1k NHT floorstander ...

Integrated Amp with a/b Speaker Selection
I think the Creek above is one of the better bets so long as the passive preamp won't bother you or present impedance problems with any long ic run out the pre outs.Pretty sure also some of the Arcams and Linn Classik (all in one) will allow two p... 
Side firing bass designs - Pros & Cons?...
Some of the Joseph Audio line. In fact, the designer talked about some of the issues with side firing in his Sphile interview. 
Stacking components?
Here is what Ken of Neutronics platforms said: "If you're not into DIY, check out the IKEA Corras- Replace the casters with spikes and you've got a fine performing, attractive 3-4 tier rack."By DIY, he was referring to the IKEA Lack table, on whic... 
Speaker cable -no shorter than 8FT? T or F
Mapleshade also sells tilted speaker stands that they claim will time align your speakers. That's just false advertising, as well as ignorant. Take all their claims with that in mind, even if not all their products stink. 
CEC Transport
Mutine seems to be saying a warranty through the previous N. American distributor is not a warranty. Something sounds vague, shady and possibly illegal here. For example, they don't say whether the previous distributor will be offering CEC reimbur... 
Speakers like 'stats but for smaller rooms?
Actually, a different sub could help fix the low end problems. Several which include bass management have been mentioned.
