Budding Audiophile Seeks Speaker Guidance
I agree with Shakey. The issue here is the room size. Yes there are some good buys out there, but they have to perform in the room where you put them. If you look at the THX high-fidelity audio/visual reproduction standards for home theaters (belo... 
Budding Audiophile Seeks Speaker Guidance
Kryptonian,I should add to the previous post that if your listening seat is within the "nearfield" (from about 6 ft. away or closer, acoustic issues may not be as much of a concern. In fact listening from the nearfield position can solve many acou... 
Budding Audiophile Seeks Speaker Guidance
Hello Kryptonian, For what it's worth, a 12X12 room no doubt is going to have acoustic issues that will intefere with the potential of almost any speakers you choose. For example, standing waves in the corners need controlling as do first reflecti... 
VPI Scout vs VPI Classic
Arch2: I moved up to the Classic after enjoying my Scout for a little over two years. It’s arguably one of the best, if not best analogue buys in it’s price range. I agree with the positive comments in the other posts. The VPI Classic is a formida...

I meant to say Harbeth SHL5s in the previous post. 
What to fill Skylan stands with for Harbeth SHL5s
I'm using 24", two-post Skylan stands under a pair of EOS HD monitors. I found Noel's stands to be a bargain, well-designed, rigid and non-resonant when filled with a combination of lead shot and washed playground sand. I used 6 lbs of #9 lead sho... 
Review: Green Mountain Audio EOS HD Monitor
Fatigue factor: I have listened for extended periods of up to 3 hours with no listening fatigue. No doubt this is due to several factors. Most importantly, the Eos HD delivers the music from both drivers on time and in phase. Besides phase accurac... 
Review: Green Mountain Audio EOS HD Monitor
You're welcome, Chris! Glad you enjoyed the review. I haven't heard the EOS, only the EOS HD. If you call Roy and ask, he may be able to put you in touch with someone in your area who has an EOS. Good luck.John 
Review: Green Mountain Audio EOS HD Monitor
I was just listening to Patricia Barber's album "Modern Cool" when I realized that in my review of the EOS HD I mistakenly referred to Bob Dylan's album title as "Modern Cool". The correct title is "Modern Times." I listen to both quite a bit and ... 
Review: Green Mountain Audio EOS HD Monitor
Thanks for taking time to read the review and for your nice compliment. You can probably count on hearing the EOS HD at the RMAF. I hope to attend. Look for the upcoming Sixmoons review. I'm told it will be online at the end of this month or in ea... 
Green Mountain Audio Eos
Liked your review Batthatman. Thanks for the info. Were you able to compare the EOS II to the HD? 
Green Mountain Audio Eos
I've been in touch with Roy and he explained that there have been a couple of delays caused by parts suppliers. However, he said that all final parts orders have arrived. The EOS is currently in production. Shipments are in the pipeline now. Don't... 
Green Mountain Audio Eos
My new Eos Speakers will be shipped on March 31. Can't wait. I've enjoyed my Europas so much I may keep them. Never bought speakers without an audition from anyone but Green Mountain Audio. Why? Because I took a chance with a total stranger at the...

Connections, etc.:With active subs, you can connect a Y cable to split the sub output at the pre/pro or receiver. Or you can connect one sub at the LFE output, and wire the 2nd sub w/ speaker wire as the left/right front speakers and connect those...
