Hi Rockadanny

Thanks for chiming in. I'm in the midst of breaking in new SCs (Zu Missions) and trying them soon to combat the mid-range glare I'm getting hit with. I've gone through a bunch of different ICs and I'm happy with the current set I have. If the new SCs don't work I'll be back to the drawing board.
It may be coming from noisy AC try some maestro outlets, these just might be the best your ever try !..
Hello Hifisoundguy

Thanks for your input as well. I saved your previous e-mails to me regarding the Maestro outlets and I look @ your Maestro thread periodically. This glare issue I've been having is definitely making me take a look at everything in my system. This may be wrong but the power part of it I'm going to have to address last as it will be very time consuming and expensive for me to handle. (Addition of 2 individual 20 amp circuits, cost of the audiophile outlets, and a laundry list of other electrical issues).

I'm hoping some room treatments, speaker cable change and speaker stand tweaks help with the glare first.
Hey Unsound

By Room correction do you mean adding types of treatment (Sonex pads, Real Traps or similar) or getting something equipped with Audyssey?

Doing analysis on my room and adding treatments is next on my things to handle. I'm going to try a speaker cable change then a speaker stand change. I'm trying to do a cheaper version of the Mapleshade bases.

As for Audyssey Room correction I hadn't thought of that. I have seen that term in other forums but never looked into it. I always thought Audyssey was for HT set-ups. I'll add that to my list but that would require me to go to different equipment and I'm not ready to part with all my gear yet.

Thanks again for chiming in.
