| How critical is placement for Vandy 2 ce Sig. ? I still own a pair of 2cis which are simial to the 2ces. Years ago they were my main speakers in a very large room and were out 4 ft. from the front wall and 5 ft. from the side walls. The sound stage was very broad and high and the bass clean and... | |
| Heard my friend's system, thinking of leaving hifi Look to the room acoustics first. There are many threads on this subject and lots can be accomplished without spending much $. | |
| BURMESTER B99 OR VANDERTEEN 5A'S Radrog: You will get a better response if you give some indications of what you expect from a speaker. What music do you listen to? What amplifier do you plan to use? What size is the room? What are the perceived shortfalls of your current speaker... | |
| Dedicated Audio Room Lighting Ideas? George: I have sent an inquiry to find out who carries Roxul here in the US. I don't believe HD does. Freemand: Very cool lighting, however, my relatively low ceiling does not allow for this and I am trying to maximize isolation to the room above.... | |
| Dedicated Audio Room Lighting Ideas? Moonguy: Another good tip on the drywall hoist, as I was concerned about lifting 4x12 sheets to the ceiling. I am unfamiliar with Roxal and it appears it is primarily for fire resistance. Do you know of any data on its acoustic isolation abilities... | |

| Dedicated Audio Room Lighting Ideas? Ncarv: Thanks for the Lutron reminder. Lighting is so key to music moods and a dimmer with remote from the seating position would be a nice touch. Which one did you buy?Jea48: Nice to hear from you since your good advice on installing my Topaz ISO... | |
| Dedicated Audio Room Lighting Ideas? Zapper: I like the idea of the cove lighting and am trying to picture it. Does the 2x4 go face on the wall with the 2x6 face to it and even at the bottom? That would leave a 2x2 hidden cove? What kind of lighting would fit into that small space? P... | |
