Speakers good for close to wall placement
Second to say Wilson Audio Duette 2's work great against a wall and that is what they were designed for.  I drove them with Raven Audio Reflection MK2 tube amp in a very large room and the sound was incredible.  If you are looking at Klipsch, then... 
Projector Power Cords
Well, I have an upgraded power cord and PPT products on my projector.  At first the picture quality was good.  But I have noticed in the last two weeks as more hours are on the projector the quality is better.  Was it the PC or PPT products are pl... 
looking for a nice small home theatre set up
I have built three home theaters in the last 10 years. This last one is roughly 15 x 20' and it is the smallest one I have built. After a long period of time I decided to go with a 5.2.2 system. I had Eric from Texton build me a custom made in wal... 
Used McIntosh Amp or better new options out there? - Amplifier or Integrated
Raven Audio out of Texas has 3 integrated tube amps in your price range.  I had a chance to buy Mac but thought the sound of Raven was better driving Sonus Faber Amati Homage Speakers.  Take a look at their website and then call Dave Thomson, who ... 
Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings
One item that is very important to me when selecting audio components is how comfortable I am I with the brand, reputation, and service.  Of course it goes without saying that sound is absolutely critical and a given.  I have traveled the country ... 
Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings
I have experienced the Blackhawk and owned the Raven Reflection MK2.  First off the amps have more power than the associated quoted figures and would drive your Tannoy's with ease.  Second, the customer service is one of the best I have experience...

Lumin D2 - Late the Table
I have owned the D-2, A-1 And X-1.  I can tell you there is a big difference in sound quality from the D-2 and A-1.  Then there is a night and day difference between the A-1 and the X-1.  So, if you have not purchased the D-2 yet, you may want to ...
