| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole Every one of the Krall and Barber albums I own are recorded extremely well. But then, so are every one of my Pink Floyd and Dire Straits albums. Somehow I never seem to get around to listening to any more DK or PB... | |

| A free tweak revisited My system is in a dedicated room. I never listen to it without eyes closed and seated in the sweet spot. It's never used for background listening, the other two systems are for that. Yes, it definitely makes a difference. | |
| MLAS 436 shipping carton? Speakers don't do so well with shipping. Both times I've shipped or received speakers (both times double boxed), the speakers or the boxes or both got damaged. Same results with UPS and Fedex. | |
| Any racks that use coasters/ wheels ? @emergingsoul No opinion about coasters, but I have read monoblocks are best utilized close to each speaker. Supposed to improve the sound quality using short speaker cables and long interconnects. | |

| Why does pulling out main speakers from wall improve sound? Sound radiates out and around each speaker until it bounces off the nearest hard vertical surface. If you have treated walls, it can be mitigated in the upper octaves. Too close to the front wall, and side walls can cause too much lower octaves. ... | |
| Did you ever buy too much bass? Too much bass? Absolutely. Every new car I've purchased in the past 15 years or so with "premium" sound systems (Land Rover, Lincoln, BMW, Volvo, Nissan, Toyota, VW) has had horrible, boomy bass. The H/K stereo in our current X5 seems to have les... | |

| Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"? @celtic66 - Wonderful story! Know the feeling. "That was a good afternoon". Yes!!! | |
| How long does it take a decent quality speaker to "wear out"? Until a few years ago was listening to a 40 year old pair of Vandersteens, then traded them for a 30 year old pair of Vandersteens. No longer own them either. Both sounded and performed as new. Who knows when they might "wear out"? |
