Good $250 Power Cord
Wig, check out the Cryo Parts Beast PC. It was the first PC I bought (and still use) with my Classe CAP 151 int. amp and it is a true value (you can also read my review). Lee of Locus Designs can help a bit more with suggestions also but IMHO it i...

Would diffusion help in this space
musicfile, I have a smaller room that I use Michael Green Roomtunes in. I DON'T have the type of investment that you have but.... diffusion has helped me ALOT thru the use of 48" standers. Now I use Apogee Slant 6 speakers and have them set up muc...
