Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's
Bavarian05, I use a combination of Viscoustic panels for absorption and diffusion and RealTraps Mondo Corner bass traps. I use Vicoustic Cinema Round panels for the first reflection points on the sidewalls. These really helped to widen the soundst...

Melbguy1, you beat me to it! Please report back with your findings!!! 
Room treatments behind or between speakers?
Samhar, thank you for the generous offer. Let me check my schedule to see when i have some free time. Thank you again! 
Help on Optimizing Dedicated PC as Music Server
Great input. Would you say the Xonar SPDIF output sounded better than the mobo USB output? You may want to try some of the audiophile USB cards by Paul Pang (PPA), SoTM, and JCAT. There has been great feedback on all three products. I am going to ... 
Room treatments behind or between speakers?
Samhar...yes I am still behind the Orange Curtain in south OC. 
Small room....treating 1st reflection points
I can definitely agree with Clio09. I recently added the Mondo Corner traps in my small room and am amazed at the improvement. Everything improved from soundstage to clarity to bass.

Murgeshj, it will hard to recreate the sound you heard at the demo unless your room is exactly the same. Keep in mind that room dimensions and acoustic treatments have a huge impact on the sound.

I own The 2 Extended with separate HFX Ground Station so I can chime in if you have any specific questions.

One of these days I am going to open up my gear and change the IEC connectors. Its been something on my list for a while but like an true audiophile I never keep any component long enough to get around to making the change! :) 
Room treatments behind or between speakers?
Thanks Milpai. I look at your system page a lot. I love the simplicity of it. If you think your room is small you will think mine is tiny. It's only 9x10 but the rear is open to my family room. Samhar, I am not sure what I am trying the achieve. I... 
Room treatments behind or between speakers?
Thanks guys. I have already treated my first reflection points on the sidewalls and it made a big difference. I have Realtraps bass traps too. Now I am just wondering about front wall absorption, directly behind speaker, in between speaker, or both?

Vineman55, my Evolutions are in the graphite color. While I think the walnut and red is very nice, the graphite is spectacular looking. There is a dimensionality and subtlety to the finish that I just love! Good luck.

Melbguy1, thank you for the reply. I think I'm going to try the outlet. I only need one in my system so I won't be too expensive. I will go for the -R version as well and report back my impressions as compared to the R1.

Melbguy1, I am very interested to hear your thoughts on the GTX-R. I have used cryo'd R1 outlets for about 6 years and love them. It would be hard for me to imagine anything better. Please update us on your impressions compared to the R1.

I own the SF Evolutions and pair them an Accustic Arts Power 1 integrated. While I not auditioned them with a tube integrated I will say I am very happy with my setup. I feel the Power 1 does a wonderful job of maintaining the magical midrange whi...
