Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint
@kennyc yeah you're right it's costly but many modern homes don't allow much wiggle room for this, not without damaging the overall value of the home.  Many times there are staircases or other obstacles or it's already an open concept to begin wit...

@whart yeah we had a couple of days under 100deg and it felt great with no humidity! Anyway, my angst about the fireplace isn't so much with mounting the tv too high, it's the total lack of options it allows.. No place for my "spread" if you will... 
Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint
@whart  currently in the Dallas area. Considering moving to Atlanta or maybe Nashville but it's really the same story there.  Same cookie cutter style that my wife loves.  We have young kids so we don't have the luxury of living just anywhere base...

@yesiam_a_pirate agree!  I'm not anti fireplace, just anti most $400k-900k homes build the fireplace right in the main entertainment spot of the house, right where my system should go forcing me to work around it where it's totally unused 99.9% of...

@mhemusic thanks and great suggestion for getting the screen to a lower level but that still doesn't do anything for my media cabinet, wires, center channel, possible short throw projector.   I love having my main system in the main living area b...

@gdnrbob  True and good point. But generally there are about 5 days in the winter where the effort and mess of a fireplace are potentially worth it.  
What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under
Ha why won't you buy black?  just wondering.   What about the Klipsch Cornwall?  To me, it's the best of all worlds. Or the Forte IV which i find phenomenal.   With your budget, you can buy a set of Cornwalls/Fortes and something else and swap ... 
Anyone here tweak any Legacy Focus speakers?
Bump to this thread.  I just got my first pair of Focus speakers and wow am I impressed!  I would say almost too much bass!  I've moved them out about 4 ft from the rear wall to help.  My room also has a major upper bass node that can make things ... 
B&W line up
@hifineubee you're saying the D4 series has that much better bass response over the D3 series?  Driver and cabinet wise, they appear pretty much identical. I'm not sure how they squeezed that much more bass out of them but kudos.. It was said abo... 
B&W line up
Thanks jasonbourne71 ha.. At least those naming conventions are different and a completely different line.   I'm sure it's not an issue for those of you who've been around for 50+ years and watched all these iterations released, but going back in... 
Martin Logan ESL Expression 13a amp removal, woofer not working
Droleg.  Tried that but feels like it’s connected somewhere else up in there. So I don’t have to remove the side rails?  
Martin Logan ESL Expression 13a amp removal, woofer not working
Ok, I swapped the woofers, same thing.. Rear woofer is out and seems to be an amp problem.. Hmm, I'd much rather replace a woofer than take the amp out and send to ML.   Of course, I would discover this on a holiday weekend and I'm sure Ron at ML... 
Martin Logan ESL Expression 13a amp removal, woofer not working
Great thoughts. I was just wondering if this sounds like a common "oh yeah, that's always this fuse, replace and be happy."   I'll swap the woofers in a bit and see what happens.   
Parasound JC5 appropriate temperature Too hot at 95deg?
Thanks for all the input. Yeah I've read all the arguments for/against leaving a unit on and I generally always leave my gear on but it rarely "stays" this hot.  It's not super hot by any means but I was wondering if there was an established "too ... 
Velodyne DD 15+ (Digital Drive 15 plus) amplifier plate replacement?
@oddiofyl I'm sorry but your link isn't clickable or something.. Do you mind providing the name of the company?   Thank you for all of your responses.. I'll reach out to each of them for help.
