| Desktop speaker upgrade from KEF LS50s ( The Kef LS50s with their coincident/coaxial driver design provide a point source of sound and are hard to beat in a nearfield listening space. That said, the small Harbeth and ATI monitors are worthy if you’re just looking for a change. | |
| Advice on whether speaker upgrade is in order You might try running the 803s full range without using the sub's HF filter. Less circuitry in the audio chain is always a good thing. | |

| Need recommendations on stand mount speakers last_lemming,I also had Vandersteen 2CEs that I loved but, after moving to a smaller (11' X 12') listening space, they didn't work out as well. I just didn't have enough distance from my listening position to the speakers to provide a proper blend... | |

| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers "....The thing that concerns me most is that, on the footers the speakers wobble when you push them. On spikes they were rock solid. Hopefully I will get used to this. But overall, I am glad that this tweak worked for me and the money is well spen... | |
| My stereo receiver is a little too bright. Can a cable help me out? Put the MF preamp back in to see if that takes care of the brightness problem. | |
