| Frequency response to 100k +/_ 1.5db? Maybe SETi can find a use for them. | |

| Room treatment-I was afraid of this It's sounds like you're pretty well set after all the work you've done so I'd not second guess yourself with tweaks just yet. What you need to do is get some long term listening in to familiarize yourself with your set up and then experiment with ... | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables +1 for Zu Audio cables. The Missions aren’t bad for the money but if you can pony up for the Event MkI, which they still have on sale, go for it.If that is too dear, price wise, try some Supra Ply 3.4W speaker cable. They're stranded, tinned, high... | |

| THE WALL---Why? I was advised to use a voltmeter and gauge my outlets over time. It was pretty much constant (+/-1) all throughout the day and night for several days (including weekends). Any filtering I used diminished things so I went straight into the wall wit... | |
| Must speakers have certain volume to sound convincing ? I think any speaker has to play loud enough to:1) sound convincing or somewhat realistic2) portray dynamics3) pressurize the room4) reveal, or at least, plumb the lower regions convincingly5) reveal ambienceOne can always go louder but I find that... | |
| Thank you to the Audiogon Team I have no complaints. This place is a nice place to retreat to, now and then. | |
| Music Server The Antipodes line of music servers has gotten great reviews and for good reasons. They don't come cheap though. If budget is important, I read this yesterday about the Elac Discovery music server that does what you want for a fair price. The revi... |
