New Speakers on Order! Also sold my Center for a Grand.

Yeah, but, well, ya know.....

Do you have Paul Simon's Graceland?

Funny you ask! Unreal. I am playing this right now. It's been a top 25 album for me since probably 1975. I also brought this over the Mark's place.
I still haven't played any real rock. Maybe some Deep Purple Machine Head next!
I do not have Graceland.

You could play 'Lazy' from Made In Japan or their version of 'Kentucky Woman' from YouTube since it was never on a recording.

I had Made in Japan, but didn't like it compared to their studio LP's. Sold it.

I've been quite busy today. Drove 30-some miles this morning to snare the Kef's. Set them up, played a couple LP's. Then had to re-arrange a couple things for this freezer I picked up at Costco. It fit swimmingly in my Dodge Journey. Lift gate closed fine! I payed a neighbor kid to help me get up the steps into the house. Fastest $10 he ever made! It was worth it. I got in and out of the car fine, but I wasn't strong enough to pull it up the steps with my 2 wheeler. Bummer! I got it in place in my utility room. But I won't be plugging it in for 24 hours.

Got 'em set up! Sounds great. AVR set to direct. Tons o' bass! Over-all, sounds clear as can be!
Yeah, my center speaker wire is a couple feet too short. I'll do something about that.
I had to open the door to get some decent lighting for the shot.
I'll try grills-on to see what I like best. View attachment 71989

That's beautiful!

I've often wondered what would be the consensus or generally what is best if playing music from Youtube, do you flip to stereo mode (that is, if your system is a HT) or just leave it in whatever DSP you have for TV?

But more basic finishes save a lot of money.

It's not that. It's the colors. White does nothing for me and the wood grain is far too orange-skewed for me. Gloss black it would have to be, but only because it's the one I wouldn't want the least.

His new Qs have a much more palatable shade of wood grain.

Grills on or off?

 

[Squishman]

I kinda like the grill on the center only.

 

[dolynick]

I usually skew to grills off on most speakers but these look fairly decent with them on. I do like the center with the grille on better as well. The towers I feel like I would still want them off as well, but that mismatch might also drive me a little crazy in the end too.

 

[Squishman]

I have the towers 7.5 inches from the wall. The center is sealed, which is great so I can tuck it in a tad.

 

[Squishman]

I've decided to use all the grills. I noticed if I am going down the hall past the right speaker and I am carrying something, I don't want to be careless and bump it. I quit drinking weeks ago, so the chances of that has become less probable however.
