| Pioneer SX 1050 Recommended Speakers I still say the L100 Century. Yes, vintage Pioneer is warm (which is why I loved Pioneer in the 70's), and still, unless you must have bookshelf speakers, I still say JBL. If floor space were not an issue, I would have said Rectilinear. Bookshelf?... | |

| Xantech and Theta Dreadnaught I wish I knew what this thread was about | |
| Let's play the "what if" game 4 feet apart? I'll pass | |
| Let's play the "what if" game Hi Tim- played around with your triangle set up- to do that I moved the speakers somewhat towards the corners and the speakers are fully toed in towards me. turns out this is a nice suggestion- when in my original location and fully toed in I didn... | |
| Looking to upgrade my old Conrad Johnson PV12 The best preamp I ever owned was a CJ 17 LS2 | |
| Let's play the "what if" game Hi Tim- good thoughts- I sit slightly father away from the speakers than the distance between the speakers. I tried having the drivers directly face me but it was just too much; from my listening position I now see the inside side panels of the sp... |
