| Try a sub a third in the back @robbiesd Glad to hear they liked 3 subs. I have 4 and could not be happier. I believe the secret is asymetricality (is that is even a word?). A lot of us audiophiles suffer from OCD and the urge is to place the subs in a balanced formation... | |
| Honesty is the best policy...I think. I had a similar situation with an Oppo BDP93. A common problem was that the CD tray would not open the first time and sometimes not open at all. The "solution" was to leave a disk in the tray at all times. Trying to sell it as is didn't sit well ... | |

| Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like? @jim5559 Some of the concerts I have been to in the past few years are Bryn Terfel, Simrit Kaur, Tool, Joe Bonamassa and Richard Thompson. Does the fact that I listen to a wide variety of music, including rock, make me clueless or not? | |

Reduce the rooms hard flat surfaces, both walls and floors, by perhaps 75%. By adding large rugs, wall hangings, artwork (sculpture), plants, etc.. This will help brea... | |

| Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air @lmartinez_02170 " Maybe the best Jaguar for post middle aged male." Just don't too far and end up with a 1959 Cadillac with bad suspension. | |
