Single speaker wire on bi-posts with jumpers...??
I think it was HifiChoice in the UK a couple of years ago did some true scientific measuring of biwire vs. non-biwire (assuming decent jumpers) and found no measurable difference whatsoever anywhere and concluded that it made no difference sonical... 
Totem Arro Vs. Sttaf
Ckoffend - I have a big room (bigger than yours actually) with cathedral ceilings and lots of hard surfaces and I own the Hawks. They sound great in the proper listening position but not everyhwere in the room - a small speaker is not going to "fi... 
What subwoofers are suited 4 audiophiles
There's are lots that seem come to highly recommended by Agoners - Velodyne, REL, James, HSU, ACI - the list goes on. Room size/shape, current electronics and speakers + their in-room bass extension would be useful information to provide so people... 
Linbrook Sig Owners - In Room Bass Extension?
Sorry - yes I am talking about the LSS. Thanks for the responses. 
MJ Acoustics Subwoofers v. REL.
Not a comment on the sound but perhaps some useful information anyway ....I was thinking of buying two of them a few months ago based on reviews and my need for 2 small, great subs. I talked/emailed with a dealer that was a nightmare, didn't answe... 
Totem Arro Vs. Sttaf
I listened to Arro, Sttaf, Hawk and Forest three years ago and bought the Hawks. Having said that I am re-thinking my decision although that is based primarily upon room size/room dynamics and not the qualities of the speaker.Here is my summary - ... 
Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous?
Thanks to all for your responses. What I am trying to do is take a decent step up from my Totem Hawks/sub combo given my large room and wide taste in music, while staying with a speaker that looks pretty much like furniture. I would like to buy so... 
Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous?
Shadorne & Tbg - interesting yet opposite points of view. Shadorne - do you have any personal suggestions to listen to? Tbg - what if I had more to spend - where would you send me in terms of speakers to check out?Thanks... 
Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous?
Joey - just wondering if you feel they meet the wish list I started the thread with and how you would compare them to some of the great speakers you have mentioned above. I will read your review on the site - perhaps it answers my questions.Many t... 
Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous?
From Lngbruno "Look into the Minis @ AV123" I have visited their website several times but read so little mainstream stuff about them (there's not that much here on Agon either) that I have discounted them. The Strata Minis look fabulous and have ... 
Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous?
Thanks - these are all well thought out suggestions that I will research and try to listen to.Anyone have thoughts on the Spendor S8e? Would need a sub to dig deep but otherwise it might fit the bill and I have rarely seen more great reviews for a... 
Integrated Amp for VR4jr
I have not heard it but there is a growing buzz around the Vincent hybrid integrated. Powerful but tube-like apparently. Made the TAS recommended components list. Audioadvisor sells it and there is a review on www.avguide.com 
Help I have a radio in my tweeter
Thanks for all your responses.It doesn't seem like a HAM issue - I can make out enough of the detail such that I'm fairly sure it's a radio station. But it does come and go - have not heard it since this morning.Hmmm... 
What's wrong with Velodyne?
Velodyne has certainly gone more mainstream in their sales channels - you can now buy some models at Crutchfield and other large electronics stores. I'm sure margins are being squeezed as a result plus no high end dealer wants to carry product tha... 
Tube Amp for Totem Hawks
I definitely have room factors but they are what they are since my listening room is our family room and I won't be allowed to mess with it if you know what I mean. The room is very big, two story ceilings, opens into the kitchen, hardwoods etc - ...
