Small Floor Standers
"just so listenable" is a perfect description Wdrazek. And they won't take up any more room than monitors on stands. I gave up on trying to get good, "listenable" sound from monitors when I purchased my Kestrel HRs. However, I think the price the ... 
Anyone a Regina Spektor fan?
I was helping my daughter paint her bedroom a couple of months ago with music from her ipod. Fidelity, the opening cut on Begin to Hope came on and I asked, "who is this?" My daughter said "you'd like her because she sounds like that lady you list... 
The WORST Components for Rock and Pop Music
Eminent Technology LFT-8s. These were exceptional with Patricia Barber and the like but when I put Kula Shaker in the cdp I knew they had to go. 
Review: Onix Audio XCD 88 CD Player
No the Onix XCD-88 does not have volume control. lon.goldstein@yahoo.com I have one I'd sell you. I sent an email with some details. 
Warm speakers?
I forgot about this thread. As I always like to know the outcome of these things here's what I ended up with.After quite a lot of research I chose a pair of Polk Audio LSi-15s. Although they are a tad larger than I'd like, they make beautiful musi...

I tried out the Totem model 1s a while back. I did not use them with a sub which they needed. As stated before, I've owned both the Kestrel HRs and Shearwater HRs; both wonderful speakers and I give a nod to the Kestrels for their warmth. One issu... 
cdp's you had glitches with
Too lazy to figure the exact number of players I've owned but none have failed without abuse of some type. Even the first player I bought (Technics) back in 85 is still working at my son's house. 
What are we listening to tonight?
The Doors, LA Woman. It's been a long time since I listened to this one.Steve Earl, The Revolution Starts Now.

I too have owned the Shearwater HRs and Kestrel HRs and agree the Kestrels are the better sounding speaker; sold the Shearwaters, kept the Kestrels. I'm sticking with the Polks as a recommendation. Hard to beat for the price,

Veroman, the question must be asked, have you spent any time listening to the Polk's LSi series speakers. Prior to the LSi-15s I was using Vandersteen 2CE Signatures and Meadowlark Audio Shearwater hot rods, both highly regarded speakers, and the ... 
Look for electronic screws - cant find any
I just looked at the screws on my Classe Cap-151. They are philips screws. Either way I'd take one to the hardware store and try and match it. Good luck. 
Built a Flexi-type rack?
I used Pennsylvania slate instead of the butcher block. Rubber bushings in between the washers and stone to provide some damping. I'm currently in the process of building a new one with granite. Good luck.

I'm using a Classe CAP-151 with a Toshiba SD-9200. The Polks replaced Kestrel hot rods which moved into a closet for now.

It's funny you mentioned the LSi-15s as I would've suggested them except for the size. The Polks are currently installed in my system and I'm extremely happy with the sound they create. They won't be overwhelmed by the size of your room. Very nice...

The original post specifies 35 inches as max height. You are asking for quite a lot from a speaker of this size.
