I have a pair of Focal Cobalt 816S's and they are bright and used in bedroom mostly for movies with a boston VRC center & velodyne surrounds, quite the hodgepodge of speakers.

wood sub floor, I have a basement

I have hardwood floors. Thanks for the links.

How thick of a foam pad would be best? I have 4 of monitor isolation wedges from foam factor, would they work? Improve speaker sound, Acoustical Foam Monitor Isolation Wedges What about for my walls?

Maybe I will make one out of 3/4 plywood and some type of foam blocks, I already have the plywood.

Thanks! The gramma dimensions are 23 x 2.8 x 15, my sub is 25" H x 18" W x 25, will it matter if the sub hangs over the edges?

Here they are placed on my home-made stands: What do you guys suggest for room treatments?

The bamboo finish is really nice. I wanted a finish that was light since all of my other speakers are rosewood black or cherry. I finished the stands and placed everything, I just need to take a pic and then edit it and I will post a photo, my 65" panny looks a lot bigger now.

Thanks! My journey ended with the Sierra-2's, they are the "holy grail" for me and I'm not interested in what could be better as it would probably cost at least $2000-$2500 to be considered better for minimal gains, And I don't want to have to go back on my word with my wife when I said "the...

I got my Sierra-2's in and they are a really fine speaker. They are very detailed & clean without any brightness. Instruments have a more realism to them than I have ever heard. The bass is very good as well, my receiver was in pure direct mode when I was listening to The Best of Rusted Root...

It was the Studio 20's & Monitor Audio Silver 2's that I got a side by side audition and I thought the Studio's were more forward than the Silver's both had good bass, but the studio's had the tighter bass silver's were a little muddy at high volumes, but after switching back and forth I'm not...

Thanks Johnnie for the invite, but I ordered 3 Sierra-2's and they will arrive on Wednesday. I have been to AVL but it's 5 years or more. Audio Labs is pretty good to, not as big of a store but I enjoyed the experience there, that is where I auditioned monitor audio & pardigms.

I did have a recent audition with the new monitor audio silver 2's & paradigm studio 20's and preferred the MA's. Thanks for the recommendations but I am pretty set on the sierra-2's. I think it would be great to do a kef & sierra side by side shootout.

Sierra-2's are the top of the list and pretty much what I want with all of their rave reviews with them as well as the 1's and their 30-day in home trial I think it's a win-win for anyone who is considering them. My current front set-up is rocket 850's & bigfoot center, I want to focus more on...

You posted this exact same thread at avsforum, why?

Here's one: Mordaunt-Short Avant 908i review | Hi-fi and av speakers Reviews | TechRadar

Probably not, he didn't make any changes to electronics that I noticed.

Both speakers had very good detail, maybe the ma's were slightly laid back and the paradigm's slightly bright. I can only express what I thought my ears heard.

This was a side by side audition with music from a computer, CAYIN A-50T tube amp & campbridge audio dacmagic. I was only there about an hour and didn't listen to a lot of different music. MA's were the better speakers imo, paradigm's were brighter and much more in price. The MA's were not...

I have a yamaha rxv765 & emotiva lpa-1 amp, so I have sufficient power. In the future I plan to get a crown XLS1000 or NXLS1500 amp for 2 channel set-up.
