Power Distribution/Conditioner
I recently purchased a Rotel RLC 1040 which I am happy with. It has delayed switching and does not seem to restrict current to my amp. It has brownout protection which was a must for me. My amp is a high current Totem Amber driving Mani 2's. The c... 
How high to mount my TV monitor?
It is 6 feet to the center of the screen. When I sit back in my couch I am looking directly at the center of the T.V..Not many people sit with their back vertical to the floor so this makes sense to me.The 13 feet is from your eyes when lying back... 
How high to mount my TV monitor?
Mine is 13.5 feet away. A 60" scree and is mounted over the fireplace. Very comfortable and natural when sitting on the couch. It is tilted about 10 degrees forward. Sit on your couch , get comfy and see where your eyes are pointing. If you look a... 
Flexible mid-range cable suggestions?

Upgrading to Totem Mani 2's

mmf-7 rubbing/friction problem ?
I have had no problems with mine and can't hear any rubbing. I have seen a previos post to the fact that a few mmf turntables had bent shafts right out of the box. You should be able to see it if this is the case. One thing I will say is get rid o...

Smholl,Are you really that restricted from moving the speakers forward? I don't think you are going to get any more than 50% out of any speaker stuffed in the corner and cubby hole like that. I have long enough cables to move my Mani-2's out into ...

That is strange as Vince at totem sold me the amber amp with the Mani's. He recomended the Amber to drive the mani's. I would say it drives them fine and have never had to exceed 70% of the Volume.
