Additional information on room - more questions My room size is 15 x 19 with the speakers on the long wall, about in the middle on the long wall. Now I should add that my foyer is attached to the long side truly making the room 15 x 29. The ceiling is basically 11 feet high, except where the...

I have a brand new pair of Vantages and a Descent i sub that just arrived Friday! :D :D :D . I also purchased a 21" high twin Salamander "Synergy" cabinet. My original thought was to place the sub in the corner and in the future, a center channel on top of the Synergy cabinet, and mount a...

Decesnt i versus the Depth i for Vantages Well this is timely . . . Long story short - just today I received my replacement Vantages and already had the new Descent i. I have been reading a lot on several posts and there seems to be a lot of people that actually prefer the Depth i over the...

Vantage woofer noise AND Power Conditioners/Cables Thanks for the reply on the spacing of the speakers in your room. I just received my Vantages not so long ago, and I may have mentioned that they have a problem with one of the panels cutting out, so both are soon to be replaced. I have an...

Distance between speakers First of all . . . . BEAUTIFULL system!! I just purchased a pair of Vantages and a Descent i a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, there were some issues with both and my dealer is replacing the entire system! I still have use of them until the new ones arrive. The panel...

Speaking of quiet, or should I say noise, the demo pair of Vantages that I had in my home until my current Vantages showed up, BOTH have a low wowowowowow noise coming from the 8" woofer. It is very noticable to me when the system is in "sleep mode", so much so that I have to unplug them if I am...

OK, so I'm back into the world of audio, and enjoying it immensely thus far! I've retired my Polk RTA 12's and replaced them with a pair of Vantages and a Descent i sub! Holy smokes, I never heard half of what I'm hearing on my CD's now and I'm still using my old 100 watt Hafler DH200 power...
