where to go from here..,,
Mattmiller, I agree, the possibilities are almost endless, and the synergy issues impossible to predict wihout some trial and error, which I'm prepared to try, just throwing it out to see what direction I can get. My Odyssey I bought from here on ... 
Survey:What Speakers Do You Want To Demo in Store?
I agree with Mceljo. The key is the mix of options. In my area there is one good audio dealer, and he has a fair mix, and a good attitude in terms of helping the customer choose. That is a rarity from what I hear. But obviously he can't carry all ... 
I know, there is no 'best', but...
Yeah, I've been made a believer there, at least for mains. I had my mains on the AVR and then added my Yamaha amp back in, and didn't hear much difference, but on the advice from another thread, I got an Odyssey amp of the same power rating, and i... 
Can Infinity Kappa Polydomes be replaced by ...?
I tried the replacement dome only that is listed on eBay. I don't have the equipment to install properly, and the midrange output on that speaker is 'off' from the original still in the other speaker. I don't recommend and of the other drivers, an... 
Nasty problem - ideas?
OK, also worth a look. I must admit, I don't trust the YPAO, but don't have another system for EQ'ing the system/room. I have just adjusted everything to 'flat', and input my measurements to each speaker, and it seems ok. I dialed back the sub vol... 
Nasty problem - ideas?
Pbnaudio - I did that check on the sub, and it did bottom out in travel before it touched anything in the back. I'll do some more checking/investigating.... 
so many choices, yet so little to demo
Shakey - speaking purely for myself, my mains are quite distant from my screen, mainly because I made the assumption that anything that 'needed' to sound like it was coming from a central position would come from the center channel, which is in th... 
so many choices, yet so little to demo
I am somewhat in the same boat, although living in the Atlanta area, I have more choices closer than when I was in SW Florida. There are still many brands I hear about here, with 'nothing else comes close for ten times the price' endorsements from... 
Nasty problem - ideas?
Ok, thanks all. I checked the volume on the sub, and it was at about '10 o'clock', so I turned it down a little, replayed the passage I remember having the problem on, and it didn't happen. I'll check the woofer travel tonight when I get home, and... 
Nasty problem - ideas?
Ok, thanks, I'll retry the same passage with the sub turned down - it was impressive, but didn't seem too loud. Maybe it was too much. Thanks. 
I know, there is no 'best', but...
Ok, more good options. Thanks. I am thinking of having all separate amplification (either one 7 channel, or adding a 5 channel to my current 2), so an avr with amps would be redundant - I just can't help thinking outboard amps are a better way to ... 
1st time buyer: Paradigm vs Revel vs B&W vs ?
The other consideration will be placement in your room. Whatever you buy will ahve the potentail to satisfy you, but also disappoint depending on your room placement restrictions. Jammed in a corner against walls = bad, pulled out somewhat into th... 
Early stages of choosing replacement floorstanders
How much of a factor is room size in my decision making? Not from an aesthetic factor, but from a sound standpoint. It is well known that a speaker that impresses in one environ, disappoints in another, and part of the difference is the room. What... 
Early stages of choosing replacement floorstanders
I have a blind spot when it comes to KEF, probably un justified, and partly because they have some many options, I'm not sure where to start looking - and of course I haven't found a dealer yet. I'll work on that - they obviously have a strong fol... 
Early stages of choosing replacement floorstanders
Telescope, how are they sounding now. What speaker wires did you get? Harley - thanks, I checked out their site a little last night, I'll check them out further - 90 day in home is appealing.
