Best stands for Proac Response 2
Proper stands will allow your speakers to lock and load into your room. I concur with Warren if you want as close to live sound in your room then couple. Lead, sand, and other so-called isolation materials de-couple you from the live dynamics of t... 
Aleph 5 + Dunlavy 4
The solution will be found when you control and redirect the now out of accoustic phase woofers. These speakers because of the floor ceiling disparity will never be able to allow the wave launch of the two drivers to meld and reinforce each other ... 
Aleph 5 + Dunlavy 4
Cdma..I have owned SC4;s since 94.. I have the same problem as you in my room. Lower mid bass suckout? I have found the distance from the bottom woofer and the floor and the top woofer and the ceiling create unusual loading effects in soom rooms. ... 
Firehawk screen or white screen? Help
I have a Yamaha LCD projector that is 1280/720. This projector has very good black levels and lots of brightness. I purchased a Stewart Firehawk Screen which I am convinced has greatly enhanced the contrast levels. Around town here I have seen sev... 
LCD vs. PlasmaTV's

Floorstanders on wood floor, help
TWL said to use Sistrum platforms. I agree and I use Sistrum Platforms under all my audio devices. Robert will have a particular one to take care of your speaker needs. Tom 
Let's forget about being politically correct
I wonder if some people here ever leave their room or see the light of day. And if they do leave the fireside of their computer screen do they generate an original thought of their own that was not miscolored and regurgitated from some has been ha... 
Trying to build a near ref. listening room? Help
Keep the room parallel. If you do have a problem later there will be a predictable fix. I can attest that having angles at the ceiling wall junctions will greatly improve your sonics. I have found by accident that a lot of accoustic energy likes t... 
Best Frank Zappa´s Recordings
Hot Rats is my favorite. 30yrs ago I bought this as a close out. First listen to this disc instilled gross anxiety. Put it away for several years. One day after many hi-fi evolutions and up dates I re-visited Hot Rats only to find real music that ... 
LCD vs. PlasmaTV's
Sony has 50 and 60 inch LCD models available. Panasonic has a 52in. DLP available now that is way better than LCD and looks more transparent than the current Samsung models.. Tom

Stands or feet for Thiel 3.6
Took my pair of my Sistrum Sp004's to my friends house who has Thiel 3.6's. He is currently using the Audiopoints. The Sp004's under his 3.6's made a very noticeable improvement in all areas. We had to use the apcd disc between the top points and ... 
Where does one place AQ sorbogel feet?
I may be the old guy here. I have, and am guilty of the following . Making several changes to my system at the same time. My enthusiasm and excitement sometimes clouds my better judgement. I have to temper my emotions and not rush to a premature c... 
Revel M20 or Meadowlark Shearwaters?
Warren, Ksales and I both heard this past summer in Chicago what we think were prototype Harmonic Precision Caravelle's speakers. Ksales is big into the clarity of the Revel sound [he has a few around his house]but he seemed mighty impressed by th... 
Where does one place AQ sorbogel feet?
My experience with Sorbothane beneath electronics has been the same as Dougdeacon's beneath speakers. Severely dulled, slow and dark. Sucked the life right out of the music. So if this is what damping is all about then direct coupling is the way t...
