Dave, granted that in general the bigger the room the better, what specifically about the 15s makes you suggest a wider room?

Gordon, I would gladly have CLXes in my living-room. My wife says she would not object....especially since we can't afford to buy them! :p

Did you expect anything else when you abandoned Martin Logan ?!.......:devil:

Very valid questions timm. In post #1 he said primarily for streaming music, and the occasional movie, and hi-res down the road. That stated, I would go for the killer 2-channel system, with the best possible amp, and can the subs for now. I always think it's a fallacy going for an x.1...

Would someone please set me straight on Benghazi....my understanding was that Hillary asked for more funding to protect the embassies, but the Republicans turned down the request. Or maybe I have the facts wrong?

There are a bunch of Logans currently on hifishark, at good prices, so $6,500 is definitely doable. The ideal would be to listen to the speakers before purchase.....maybe use a small part of the budget for travel? Road trip? A good amp would also be affordable. Looks promising, so far. I...

I don't have specific recommendations, but hate to see someone try to get everything within the budget. Specifically, scrap the sub for starters, and put the money into good amplification.....I think people mistakenly get into this thinking they can use a receiver to drive Logans. If really...

Yes, the lobbyists have Congress, the Senate, and the WH by the balls! I wonder about their influence in the Supreme Court.

Dave, with views like that, it seems to me that YOU should be in Congress, the maverick leading the charge for sensible gun laws.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the intent of the 2nd Amendment was to keep the government in check by arming its citizens. If a bunch of armed citizens today marched on Capitol Hill, intending to do just that, they would be met by the might of the United Stated Armed Services.....so it...

This is worth the watch; got it originally off Facebook. It's funny, but I was not laughing....because of the subject matter. A sad situation indeed, as I watch my fellow human beings immediately south of the border. https://youtu.be/a-o9pwWUzz0

I like the nice clean look of the system; of the whole room, in fact. A mod (Dave?) should change the title from Vantage.

Dave, what kind of improvements do you hear with the turntable periphery ring?

Jokes aside, Dave, I find the concept of "burn in" most interesting. Many years ago I upgraded the caps in my DAC with about $200 worth of Black Gates, and on extended listening heard no improvement. I declared it a waste of money, then forgot all about it. Then, several months later I...

Dave, is that a cable elevator I see in your last picture? :devil: Tim, welcome back!

Since Heidrun is a newbie here, I should add the following since he's probably wondering what the fuss is all about: Unfortunately, some of the people here who believe cables do not make a difference do not just state their opinions in a civilized manner, but get extremely sarcastic and...

Congratulations Timm. How tall are those towers? If you like Getz/Gilberto, you should buy, "Entre Amigos" by Rosa Passos and Ron Carter.

Interesting that CJD and ARC both use their own house-branded teflon caps in their high-end products. ARC claims 600 hours to burn in their caps.

I would just save my money until I could afford a new pair.

Gordon, don't forget to take your magic dots when you move. :devil:
