    Kruz's Work in Progress System

    Yeah the front ports are not ideal but I have a very narrow room to work with (10 feet). After speaking to Jim he recommended the front port and really I don't mind them. It sort of fits in with the boxy simple lines of the speaker (IMHO).

    Kruz's Work in Progress System

    From behind! :eek: Its on a french cleat with three holes in it. One hole goes into a stud and the other two into heavy duty drywall anchors. The speaker wire runs through the wall from behind as well.

    Kruz's Work in Progress System

    Ok found some time to take some pictures after doing a lot of listening and working with the setup. To start the finish is a lighter gray on curly maple: I wanted the finish to be a little lighter due to my lighter gray floors. Jim did a great job on the color and the grain looks...

    Thanks. Sounds like I will be good to go.

    Using a receiver just for a source switcher

    It is the VSX-523-K. The reason I ask is I remember somewhere reading it is a bad idea to run a receiver with no speakers plugged into it. I could be mistaken though. I would connect the cable box and xbox to the receiver and then the hdmi out to the tv.

    Using a receiver just for a source switcher

    I found a good deal on a denon x4000 so now I will have a lower end pioneer receiver to use in my man cave. The man cave is also wired for external speakers but I don't have the funds this year for that. I was wondering though if I could use the receiver to switch between my cable box and my...

    Recommendations with $2,000-$3,000 budget?

    I would budget around 75 days for the Salks from what I have seen so far. Just crossed 60 days and have a feeling mine will be ready in a week or 2. Then again my finish is different. Really curious to hear your reviews comparing these two. Did you go with the ribbon tweeter?

    Just received my cable pants, cable sleeving and heat shrink tubing. I'll post some pics up of the dressed up cables once I get a chance.

    Recommendations with $2,000-$3,000 budget?

    I'm really excited to see these in person! If Jim started to charge a penny he would make about 5 pennies a day off me alone! :)

    Recommendations with $2,000-$3,000 budget?

    I had a very similar budget (for the front three) and looked into both Ascends and Salks. I ended up going with the Salks because of the custom cabinet work and amazing reviews. I'm looking into the philharmonitors for a separate room due to positive reviews. My suggestion is the email Jim...

    Paradigm Monitor System vs Martin Logan Motion System

    Thought I would chime in about your subwoofer choice. I have owned the SVS SB-2000 for about a month (ish) now. My room is in the basement, very closed off and about 20' by 10'. The bass is very tight and defined and great for music. However for gaming and movies it feels like it is missing...

    Asian Company that makes Philharmonitors Review

    That is what I have read as well else where. One thing popped up for me looking at the Alexis site though. Why do they and Dennis call the ribbon tweeter by a different name? Alexis Ribbon 1 vs. Fountek Ribbon

    Asian Company that makes Philharmonitors Review

    Lately I've been reading about the Philharmonitors and remember seeing someone post a thread about a recent review of them (except under the name of the asian company that handles sales over seas). Does anyone have this link? I've looked but can't remember where I saw it.
