Well, the framers started yesterday so I thought I'd document the major steps of the process. My personal focus of course is on the audio/visual side of the build, while my wife... well she's looking at it from a more holistic approach lol. Here's the rough floorplan: And here's a 360°...

Did some basic measurements with the Hsu bass disc test tones and my Radio Shack meter. I got some very curious results that I wanted your thoughts on. First, my setup. I've got dual Hsu VTF-3's placed symmetrically up front with my LSA One Monitors. I've run Audyssey XT32 with my Denon...

:p

I did a simple measurement of my subs using the Hsu CD test tones. Ran through them three times -- left sub only, right sub only, and both subs together. The left sub is a Mk III set to Max Extension mode. The right sub is a Mk IV also set to Max Extension with a Q of .5. Both subs are...

Getting an LSA LCR center speaker and it’s going to be bigger than I’d initially realized, to the tune of 35lbs and 22''w x 14 ½”d x 9''h! Trying to figure out how to best mount it since it can't sit on the lip of my mantel. I’m thinking of using L-brackets screwed to the front face of the...

I'm selling my pair of Liberty Z500 speaker cables in the 4m (13') length. I hate to do it, but I moved my rack yesterday and the cables simply aren't long enough. I'm selling them for $45 shipped anywhere in the US. They'll come with the complete set of swappable terminations (spades...

Recently moved to a new house and, due to space and layout constraints, I currently have one of my subs sitting on my entertainment center. I have to say it sounds pretty decent -- no rattles, even when it's really thumping. I thought I'd read that having one sub out of place with the other...

I bought a pair of LSA Monitor 1's that should be here any day now. My stands are VTI VSPs; they have very sharp spikes at each corner of the top plate. I'm hesitant to place the speakers on the spikes because they're likely going to punch little holes through the veneer. I'm guessing...

For sale are my Paradigm Studio 10v5 bookshelf speakers in the gorgeous rosenut wood veneer. I purchased them through my local Paradigm dealer (The Sound Shop) in January 2011. They are in perfect condition – no marks or blemishes on the veneer. I’ve always ran them with my Adcom amp and dual...

Title says it all -- good idea with the mount below or not? All the specs point to yes (TV is 48lbs, mounting is VESA 400x400), but I'm curious about real-world experiences from people who've done it. UniversalMounts UAS-720 Single Stud Swivel PLASMA/LCD/LED Mount 24" to 55" (UAS720) -...

Bit of a work in progress. I'm considering swapping out the Paradigm Studios for Peachtree D5's or LSA Monitor 1's -- looking for something "warmer" and less "analytical". Critiques / recommendations welcome! - Paradigm Studio 10 speakers - Hsu VTF-3 subs - Adcom GFA-6000 amp - Pioneer...

I recently won this book during a McIntosh promo at my local audio store and have no use for it. I flipped through a couple of pages but that's it -- it's basically brand new. It goes for $209 on amazon.com (Amazon.com: McIntosh .... For the Love of Music .... (9780978723606): Ken Kessler...

With all the talk about Emotiva UPA's on sale, and whether separate amps are worth it, it's gotten me thinking about my old Adcom GFA-6000. It's a 5-channel amp with 100W across the front and 60W for surrounds. I picked it up for $240 and love it. But... I wonder how it would stack up...
